Abortion is the slavery issue of our time, author Eric Metaxas told about 400 people at the annual Colorado Right to Life rally Thursday on the steps of the Capitol. "God is the one who calls you to the battle," Metaxas said to the crowd, an eclectic mix that included families with baby strollers and protesters waving signs and abortion- photo posters.

400?

That’s a state of Colorado number.

I was in CT a number of years ago and the number pf pro-lifers at that STATE capital on 1/22 that year was fewer than 50.

The D.C. walk is the big one.
