This is part 1 because we will have at least two more parts over the next two days, including the Created Equal representation, and a short video from America Media – publishers of the Jesuit America magazine. <\/p>\n

Our bus was cancelled, so several of us drove down. The weather was really not a  problem; started snowing after one o'clock & didn't affect the drive back.<\/p>\n

The numbers were MUCH lower – probably 20-25,000, a quarter of the #'s for the last few years. Whereas it usually takes two hours for the whole March to pass a given point, Friday it took less than half an hour.  The much-hyped coming blizzard. We spoke with people from Florida – large contingent – Indiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, South Dakota, with Missouri and Illinois much in evidence. <\/p>\n

Media coverage -. Nothing on the CNN youtube channel  and a two minute video on the FOX youtube channel. Here is the Washington Post coverage<\/a> which was decent, as they usually are.  The NY Times website had a tiny article in which they said "hundreds"<\/a> marched (UPDATE<\/strong><\/span>: Rooftop video is here<\/a>. So much for the NY Times "hundreds marched"<\/em>). Hahahahaha. What they should have said was "hundreds from Miami marched" since there were several hundred from high schools in Miami, who'd come up.<\/p>\n

11 pictures + one on steps of Supreme Court. You can see how the weather changed over a period of about 2 hours.<\/p>\n

The Rally<\/p>\n

\"P1080276\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080275\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080285\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The March up Constitution Ave. to the Supreme Court –<\/p>\n

\"P1080295\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080320\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080332\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two double strollers, and a third one out of view. <\/p>\n

\"P1080353\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080354\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080385\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1080392\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a couple of dozen pro-abortion counter-protesters. The man's t shirt says "Abortion on Demand & Without Apology".<\/p>\n

\"P1080396\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the steps of the Supreme Court, women from Silent No More<\/a>, speaking – very emotional, as always<\/p>\n

\"P1080412\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wanted to get this right out – more to follow.<\/p>\n
