People march from a parking lot at the corner of Capital and Chamberlain streets to start the annual Hands Around the Capitol anti-abortion event at the Maine State House in Augusta. Traditionally the march starts a few blocks away at St. Mary's Catholic Church, but it was shortened because of gusty winds and bitter cold temperatures. Participants stand opposed to the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
