The March for Life, an annual anti-abortion protest that attracted about 200,000 people into the city last year, and which is returning to town next week, will be a double whammy for a city already strained by inaugural crowds.

The Jan. 22 protest, which begins on the National Mall and loops around the Capitol building, will demand additional preparations from the city’s police and public transportation force just two days after the city is inundated with inauguration spectators.
