In cold dreary January, they still came by the tens of thousands to march for life. The longest running annual protest in American history.

Today, thousands gather to march on our Nation’s Capital to defend the sanctity of life. As a physician, I took an oath to protect life. I denounce those who wish harm upon the unborn. With today's 49th #MarchforLife, we must remember that equality begins in the womb. #WhyWeMarch
A beautiful sight to see, thanks for posting.
God bless these folks!!
Thanks for posting the pic.
Proud National March for Life attendee here (twice- 2001 & 2005).
Both times there were an estimated 250,000 marchers.
I met a dynamic priest- Father Frank Pavone, with Priests for Life, at the U. S. Health and Human Services Building, where young people were committing civil disobedience by kneeling and praying on the sidewalk outside the main entrance, and by refusing to stop praying and move away from the entrance. One by one they were arrested and loaded onto a bus. RU 486 (the morning after pill) was being approved in the near term, and the protest was over this decision.

I also attended a dinner (Rose Dinner) that had a speaker who was involved in the honoring by the Catholic Church of a woman that lived about a hundred years ago. This courageous mother had something like 7 or 8 children and when another child was due, the doctors said that she needed to have an abortion because of medical complications that jeopardized her life. She refused and delivered a healthy baby but died during the baby’s birth.
I also met and heard speak- Judie Brown, of American Life League. Judie punches WAY above her weight!
Phyllis Schlafly was another powerhouse speaker at the dinner. Wow! What a lioness for life!

Dr MLK JRs niece- Alveda King, participated in a group- “I Regret My Abortion” at the USSC in prayer and protest, that were (at that time) part of a newly established movement to encourage woman to turn away from abortions.

My hometown, Lincoln, IL, has a Christian university that as a tradition, buses students to Wash., DC, and their key effort once there, involves carrying the March for Life banner at the front of the march. Woot! Woot!
On a sour note- There were also truly repugnant people lining the streets holding up signs with evil phrases like “I’m Proud of My Abortion” and other mocking signage.
I wondered if many people would show up since it was bitterly cold. The times that I had the wonderful experience of Marching for Life in DC, it was cold, but nothing like today. Congratulations to all who marched today.
