Thousands of pro-life demonstrators yesterday rallied on the frozen, snow-covered Ellipse, and then marched to the Supreme Court as part of the 32nd annual protest against the high court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion.

Think tens of thousands, a great turnout despite the weather. As usual, Catholic and Christian youth were everywhere Rockin' for Life. Very uplifting.

I can't believe that my lib sister, who used to volunteer for Planned Parenthood and never met a liberal idea she didn't like was there at the rally.....

she's anti-war, anti Republican, anti- guns and anti-everything .....

but she is also getting more religious.....I think she realizes that she can't be a great anti-war and anti-capital punishment spokesman if she is pro-abortion.....

Thats a start! :-}

There were a few pro choice women at the SCOTUS.

They were having a back and forth with some of us pro lifers. Nothing nasty mind you. One fellow on the pro life side was an exceptionally bright and passionate black fellow from DC.

Several of the pro choice folks were astounded at the facts he was apprising them of regarding abortion rates being 4 times higher in the black community than the caucasian community and infinitely higher in urban settings.

A good guy and his parting words to me were "Can you believe how few black folks attend the March every year?"

I was there with my foster-daughter yesterday. It was her 1st time attending and she loved it. It was an awesome day.

Rock For Life and the many other youth attending are GREAT!

My son was present and said that he heard there were 100,000 marchers. Is that about right?
