I did see the pro-abort protesters. I shouted over the heads of the crowd to them that they had gotten off at the wrong Metro stop. People around me laughed, but it was supposed to have a deeper meaning too. I pray for them now and for all pro-abort people that they will understand the call to repentance before it's too late.
The March was smaller than last year's, probably because the Inauguration drew a larger crowd. It was icy cold and damp last year, but yesterday it was so warm we had to take our jackets off, until the shadow of the Washington Monument passed over us---then we had to put them back on.
I was interviewed by a New York publication. The reporter liked my sign, which maybe you will see later when Teacup gets the photos up. He took my name and where I had come from ("I'm the only pro-life woman on the Upper West Side," I told him) and also ELS's name and hometown.
ELS and I went to the Susan B. Anthony reception in the Rayburn Building, and then headed for Union Station. I fell asleep almost immediately and didn't wake up till Princeton Junction.
It was so wonderful to spend time with all of you. I hope we will have more chances to meet in the future, and more chances to help in this important cause.

Firebrand: Seriously, you probably really ARE the only pro-life woman on the Upper West Side! How sad, huh?
Firebrand and ELS: Thanks, Tri-Staters, for marching in the cold for a very noble cause. Many of us who could not join you there were thinking of you and were definitely with you in spirit.
