Last night's vigil Mass celebrated by Cardinal Justin Rigali accompanied by many bishops and priests was, as always, a quite inspiring spiritual preparation for today's activities.
The Blogs for Life conference (video stream linked here) this morning provided numerous insightful speakers describing how to use new media technology for the cause of life and some big picture assessments on the state of the prolife movement. We're still strong and will press ahead. (One correction from a previous post, the Danny Glover who spoke today is not the actor, but a dedicated blogger/journalist).
Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas addresses today's Blogs for Life conference.
The rally and March itself, with a large crowd including many young people, took place with sunny average not-uncomfortably cold temperatures as the large crowd surged several blocks toward the Supreme Court.
March participants make their way up Capitol Hill.
A couple of signs (above and below) use President Obama's words to make the prolife case.
After the march, I attended an inspiring and informative event cosponsored by the Filipino Family Fund and the Culture of Life Foundation and then dropped by The Dubliner and joined some prolife friends for a little while before heading home.
While these events observe a most solemn and tragic anniversary of the imposition of abortion-on-demand in our nation, it is an occasion to meet or reunite with some of the nicest people and recharge ourselves for the challenging fight ahead.
