Half-a-million strong.

Update: decent Washington Post article

Thank you for the picture. It appears to have been well attended.

God bless,

Yes, more than 500,000 people came to the March for Life this year -- but, to this nation's everlasting shame, far, far, far more than that came to Obama's 2009 inauguration.; 2:31 AM
Pertinacious Papist said...: Thanks, Jordanes. I was then mislead by Google, which popped this photo up under the heading of "March for Life." But then sometimes headings and photos are mismatched under a search.

The main thing is that there were half-a-million at the March this year; and during years I've been there (over a decade of Marches), it's often looked like this, but without the horizontal barricades, which didn't quite make sense in this photo.
