ATLANTA - Thousands of anti-abortion advocates lined up outside the Capitol on Monday and heard a remorseful former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller apologize for his tardiness in supporting their cause.
"I'm more than one year late here. I'm several years late being here," said Miller, a former governor. "All those years you were out here, and I was in there," he said, pointing at the Gold Dome with a shake of his head.
The demonstrators converge on the state Capitol each year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the controversial Supreme Court decision that legalized abortions 33 years ago.
Police said between 3,500 and 4,500 activists showed up on the dreary Monday morning, many clutching rain-soaked umbrellas along with their campaign signs.
