Dont't forget: Even Fox fired Matt Drudge for wanting to air the picture of the unborn child reaching out of the womb grasping the doctor's finger.

There's a better one, but I don't have the URL.

My hope is that the United States Congress will pass a bill this year banning partial-birth abortion, which I will sign. (Applause.)

Translation: Don't expect Congress to pass such a bill on my watch.

The Park Service stopped giving offical estimates of the crowds after the Nation of Islam threatened to sue them about the count of the attendance at the Million Man March. This is an "estimate" of the crowd. It just isn't the "official estimate," unless they've gotten a count from another law enforcement agency (or another government agency) gave them an "official count." If it is an "official estimate," I'd be curious to find out the source.

Here you go, this is the beginning of this years march. Count the marchers strung out across the raod and then multiply by a mile or a mile and a half.

We go every year and when the front of the march gets to the hill near the capital you can turn around and see marchers as far as the eye can see.

I have video of that view but I don't know how to convert .mov to.gif so I can post them. Sorry.

I count by how many people it would take to fill RFK stadium - I've been caught in the crowd leaving from concerts so many times that I know EXACTLY how large a crowd is 50,000 people (RFK capacity).

There were at least 2 RFK's worth of people there, tending towards 3 (100,000 - 150,000). I think 4 RFK's is a little high.

There was not even one RFK at the hate-America rally last weekend.

We had a wonderful turn out for our march in Atlanta--a solid wall of marchers four or five city blocks long. Of course, the local paper described it as "500 people shivering in the cold". Big lie-- there were probably 5,000 people marching on a warm, sunny day in Atlanta.

Yes, I also noticed how young the marchers were. A good sign for the future. Also, I noticed a lot of young men probably in their 20's marching in groups. They appeared to be single men taking a stand against abortion--another good sign.

Well said! Yeah, the jury sees that too.

[Notwithstanding]

Ass kissing globalists don't tell the UN to screw itself regarding its culture-of-death family palnning and abortion policies.

You appear to be an ass-kissing pessimist.

[Polycarp]

Very well said (ahem.. ;-)

[ELS]

Sorry you couldn't attend this year.

Despite tens of thousands of pro-lifers in Washington and just tens of pro-abortion protesters (a midday Planned Parenthood rally was estimated by Reuters at 150), Dan Rather misled viewers into assuming large crowds on both sides: "Tens of thousands of demonstrators on both sides of the issue filled the streets of Washington today."

I've been there. I've seen it with my own eyes, year after year. A handful of pro-aborts hang out in front of the Supreme Court. They're depicted as equalling in number the pro-lifers. The press mis-coverage is maddening.

What I sent to Deal Hudson, in response to his listserv message about the March not getting coverage:

The pro-abortion supporters showed up in the evening, next to the "Silent No More" rally in front of the Supreme Court. As dozens of us told our stories of the pain our abortions have caused us, and how deeply we regret them, the pro-aborts were screaming "We won't go back!" down the sidewalk. The Silent No More rally actually got more coverage than theirs.

[Aquinasfan]

The Silent No More rally actually got more coverage than theirs.

I'm glad to hear that, but was there any coverage from the lamestream media?

[nina0113]

Yes! I think it was in the Washington Post, though it might have been the Times - we bought both of those plus our local paper. There was a picture of the candlelight vigil (though not of me setting fire to my acrylic nail trying to re-light one) and you could clearly see the signs "I Regret My Abortion". The pro-aborts had a larger group, but their photo in the paper was much smaller.

[Aquinasfan]

The pro-aborts had a larger group, but their photo in the paper was much smaller.

Congratulations!
