Thousands of anti-abortion advocates march in downtown Little Rock, Ark., Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008, in the 30th Annual March for Life, to protest the legalization of abortion. Tuesday will mark the 35th anniversary of the Jan. 22, 1973, U.S. Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade. (AP Photo/Mike Wintroath)

Not much coverage so far in the MSM. Thanks to Thomas Peters, those who are interested, cann follow along at his links.

I’ll be heading down to the Mall in a few minutes. Always go down at my lunch break on March for Life day.

It’s a great experience and such a contrast to the other marches and protests we see in DC.

It’s a fun experience. Cold as heck, but a great time!

If six members of the NOW give a press conference a full contingent of the MSM will be there and will give it front page coverage. If 200,000 people march for life nobody who wasn’t there will ever know it happened. Zero press coverage.

That’s right. It’s a huge event and the press coverage is minimal.

Now if Britney, Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton showed up, it would be a different story./s

The greatness of all of this is that now young people are showing up in droves. There has been a surge of young people doing this march. Watched for about 30 minutes the March For Life presentation. :)

He just referred to an ultrasound showing what can be seen of the baby’s form, but said what could not be shown was the baby’s soul.

Bless him! The gov of NYS has just issued a press release in total support of protecting a woman's right to choose. Here is one of his statements:

Many Americans believe that as long as the Roe v. Wade decision is not overruled, then a woman’s right to privacy and the ability to make personal healthcare choices will be protected. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The politicization of women’s reproductive health has resulted in a crusade to undermine not only the constitutional protections Roe v. Wade recognizes, but some have even sought to interfere with the ability of women to obtain birth control, including emergency contraception.

/sigh/

Unlike this individual, I believe in the fundamental right of all women, both inside the womb and on the outside.

Just returned from my lunchtime visit to the March.

Tons of young people. It’s so nice to see. Saw a group of 15-16 year olds praying the rosary together. Everyone having a good time despite the cold. Some were creating cheers (some of the cheers were pretty good). Was glad to see a lot of support for Project Rachel. Sometimes we forget the other victim.

Two huge Ron Paul banners and some Ran Paul for President signs. Wouldn’t the leftists cheering him be surprised?

Couldn’t stay too long. Wish I could but they pay me to be in this office instead.

Being at an event like the March is a great educational experience for the young people who attended.They get to see how the MSM lies about an event they were at.It shows one of the major ways the MSM lies.They do this by leaving stories they disagree with out of the media.
