March for Life organizers had pledged that neither a blizzard forecast nor icy cold temperatures would keep them from descending on the nation’s capital Friday for the annual pro-life event - but returning home is proving to be a more difficult task.

A massive winter storm that rolled through the mid-atlantic and Northeast Friday night has reportedly left busloads of march participants stuck on the side of major highways.

Six buses carrying a group of 330 students and chaperons who traveled to the District of Columbia from Omaha, Nebraska have been stuck on the Pennsylvania turnpike for 11 hours due to a vehicle wreck.

KETV-TV reported Saturday that the buses are stocked with food and water and have plenty of gas but are expected to remain stuck for several more hours. Likewise a group of 150 people from Diocese of Green Bay in Wisconsin also became stuck due to the wrecks on the turnpike.

God bless them.

at that age, they probably used the 11 hours to flirt and joke around.

if they’re pro life, their spirits dont get crushed easily

The Star says the backup is due to a wreck, but later down in the story it says it is trucks unable to make a steep incline. Then the governor says that wreckers cannot get to the site where the trucks are stranded. Can't this Governor use his brain to send the wreckers down the side the trucks are stranded by using the lanes where no vehicle is able to proceed? In other words, send the wreckers down the wrong way so that they will end up in front of the stalled trucks. Snow plows could accompany them as well to clear out the snow.

Beyond that I am sorry to hear about their being stranded. No fun at all.

Take into consideration that the current Governor of Pennsylvania is Tom Wolf, a completely incompetent leftist twit. It helps explain why those buses are still stranded.

Was to lazy to look him up, but anymore it seems like most politicians are stupid, regardless of party affiliation.

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
‘Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid
Then the stranger spoke, he said “Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear, “
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
And it went La La
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers…
