C-SPAN has informed the National Catholic Register that they plan to televise the March for Life live this year. That is good news to pro-lifers because we are so used to being ignored by most (if not all) of the mainstream media. In some years it seems the only network to give the March its due is EWTN (which will also be broadcasting the March.)
It's almost funny (in the saddest way possible) that every year hundreds of thousands of people march right through the heart of Washington D.C. and each year they are promptly ignored. It's as if we're pro-life ninjas. We whisk in, nobody sees us, and we disappear.

Now, some in the media would argue that the March for Life isn't new news because it's done every year. Well, let me tell you something, if the media covered it, it would be news to much of the country that hundreds of thousands of people traveled to D.C on what's typically one of the coldest days of the year to stand up for the protection of life. And they do this every year in an astounding testament to the belief in the sanctity of life. They marched even when they knew that there was very little chance that any advances would be made because there was a pro-abortion president or Senate and a stacked judiciary. They still marched.
I remember a few years ago after coming back from the March for Life with my kids, a neighbor asked me where we'd been. I told him we'd been down to DC for the March of Life. He had no clue what I was speaking about. None...

One person plus God is always a winning majority, but this year we’ve been praying that truly hundreds of thousands of God’s people will join Vice President Pence in thanksgiving that the cause of saving God’s babies from being destroyed is gaining ground. Special prayers of thanksgiving for the Life Warriors who have been there throughout the shameful 44 years of this, the greatest slaughter of human life by any country in the history of the earth. May God forgive the USA for allowing the evil doers free reign in our land.
Surely the opted to do this because of all the mayhem those pesky right-to-lifers were causing. /s
Agree.
Pence put this on the map.
They also will use this as that “stop Trump’s SCOTUS pick” narrative.
I thought it said "CNN will cover.."
Silly me.
Another livestream, since cable-TV service is required to stream C-SPAN, unless they open it to everyone online:

Prayers for Vice President Pence and everyone attending! I’ll be watching online. Thanks for posting the links.
Because the VP is there,they will cover it
Looking for video streaming of the March itself, not just around the speakers’ stand.
I see, the speeches come first and then the March for Life afterwards. Can still see streams of people in the background moving toward the speakers’ stand.
Very good. I am hoping we also see a revival soon.
