Hundreds gathered on the steps of the State Capitol Tuesday for the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) March for Life. The annual march, held on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, comes at a high stakes time in the debate over abortion access.

Thousands of Minnesotans brought the abortion debate to the State Capitol lawn on Tuesday, as activists vowed to step up their campaign to outlaw the procedure.

"We know that Minnesota is a pro-life state and your presence on a frigid day is a testament to this cause," House GOP leader Kurt Daudt told the crowd. The large turnout, Daudt added, sends a "message to legislators that we do the right thing when we stand on the side of life."
