Yesterday, January 22nd, I went with my friend, Kathy, to the March for Life in Washington D.C. We went on a bus from our church and joined thousands and thousands of people from across the country to stand up for life. How could we not go when busloads of people came from Indiana, Missouri, New York, Ohio, California--from every state! When we left the church it was pouring rain. When we got off at the Mall the rain had stopped. During the March the sun came out. Some groups rode on a bus for 24 hours, marched, and then went right back on the bus for 24 more hours. This year the March was bigger than usual with more signs, more balloons and more colorful attire to identify the various groups. Kathy and I noticed the large number of teens and young children; they might have outnumbered us older folk. What an encouraging sight! We listened to speeches for over an hour and then began the March. It took about 3 hours for all the people to walk the route. As always, the March was positive, unifying and meaningful. Here are some of the pictures I took throughout the day.
