I just got back to NR-DC from the March for Life. Thanks to everyone who said “hello” — and were following @kathrynlopez (except when my Blackberry decided to take a nap) – along the way. I’ve never seen so few counterprotesters there. The ones who did show (I maybe saw 15) had the traditional NOW signs and homemade ones including the typical “Keep your rosaries off my ovaries” and the crude “Won’t get laid without Roe v. Wade.”
I don’t know what the crowd estimates are, but it was a good showing. So much so that the Knight of Columbus who were marshaling couldn’t quite keep the whole thing under control — there were a few head-starts and false-starts, which were all fine and good in the end.
Many of the marching crowd were talking about Scott Brown as a bit of a hero, in the David and Goliath sense (even if he says he is not opposed to Roe — many pro-lifers do seem to appreciate him as a friend.)
Here are some photos (Facebook friends saw some more), beginning with one of the few counterprotest photo opportunities I had:
