March for Life 2020

Hundreds of thousands of people in the March for Life surging toward the Supreme Court.

I participated on Friday, January 24th in the 47th annual March for Life in Washington, DC. This year's March, commemorated the infamous 1973 Supreme Court abortion decisions that imposed abortion on demand in the United States and the over sixty one million abortions occurring since then.

The theme of this year's March focuses on the theme "Life Empowers: Pro-Life is Pro-Woman", and how this compels us to advocate for protecting every every mother and child from the violence of abortion.

The lead up to the March began the day before when I attended a protest vigil outside Planned Parenthood's massive DC abortion factory and the very informative Law of Life Summit at the Renaissance Hotel, the headquarters for March activities. Thursday, evening I attended the National Prayer Vigil for Life Mass, as prayer is the power behind our prolife efforts.

The morning of the March began with the ProLifeCon social  media conference which featured some leading figures in government and the prolife movement.

The March rally on the lawn of the National Mall featured President Donald Trump speaking onstage to the crowd, the first time ever that a US president addressed the Rally in person. After he spoke, the huge crowd and tight security measures made it time-consuming to leave the Rally area early.  I still managed to position myself ahead of the March to take pictures enroute to the Supreme Court (a few of which are included below.). My day ended with a stop at DC's iconic Irish pub, the Dubliner, packed with cheerful March participants, before catching the Metro home.

These prolifers from "Down Under" came a long way to DC.

It's reality, regardless of your religious beliefs/non-beliefs.

Many marchers were stepping ahead of the lead banner, owing to the huge crowds.

Eventually, the official March approached the Hill, ...

rounded the final turn, ...

to arrive at the Supreme Court.

Post-abortive women and men are Silent No More!
