We, the people vs. they, the media


Half-a-million strong.

Update: decent Washington Post article

Beautiful image; It's kind of like an impressionist painting, a field of God's flowers praying for life.

We had one index-card-sized picture, buried in the Local News section of the paper, which mentioned a few thousand protestors and (of course) counter protestors.

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

God bless,

Chris

Hate to have to say this, but that's a photo from Obama's 2009 inauguration, not from the 2013 March for Life. 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.

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.
