Thanks for the wonderful pics..Do you have any estimate of the attendance? Brit Hme last night was quite astonished at the size of the demonstration..
I was there yesterday. With the prediction of rain,I thought the crowd would be down.It was up.It took longer to make it up the March than in previous years.Attending the March is an experience of a lifetime.My favorite anecdote this year is sitting in the MacDonalds in the Smithsonian and have a group of College-age marchers join us.Of course they publicly said their grace before meals.

Truthful coverage of this Annual event has to be one of MSMs greatest failures. It can only be because showing the size of the march would cause Americans to see something that the establishment media have decided may not be seen. I heard one commentator yesterday say the crowd was "easily several thousand."
This commentator had to know that just in the MCI Center mass there were over 19000 people, who all were present for the March.
The third week of January is always cold, frequently snowy or rainy, and yet the marchers fill Constitution Av from the Ellipse to the Capitol. Just doing a bit of math can provide anyone with a mind with the answer to how many 10's of thousands are there.
I am reminded of how the numbers of participants are overestimated whenever the cause is a pet of the media, such as anti-war marches. We hear words like 'quarter of a million', '2 hundred thousand', '5 hundred thousand', etc.
I'd love to see some comparisons of photos of crowd shots of the March for Life with these other DC gatherings on the Mall.
