Demonstrators held yellow balloons with "life" printed on them as organizers passed around rosary beads and others danced to music to keep warm in temperatures that hovered just above 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 Celsius).
"This is about the soul of our nation that we gathered here today," Archbishop Blase Cupich of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, told a crowd that organizers said numbered about 5,000.

I will be in DC on Friday for the March. Hopefully I will be out of DC before the storm!
Ugh . . . the comments at the end of that article. Such hatred from the pro-aborts.
Travel safe. My granddaughter and I applied to go with our archdiocese but then decided not to go. She doesn’t travel well in buses. Now I’m looking at Topeka.
Thank you! Not sure I will travel well in a bus either (going with my daughters 8th grade class)....feeling anxious!
