This gives a pretty good picture of how many people were at the March. Warning: this video is about 9 minutes long.

March for Life 2008

We were able to take some of our church youth to the March for Life in Washington DC this year. We shared the experience with Penn View's civics class. We rode in the Penn View coach to the event. It was a great experience for our youth. There were thousands of people there to protest abortion. We heard many speakers including Ron Paul, Sam Brownback, and the brother of Terri Schiavo. This is a great opportunity to see that the pro-life movement is strong and passionate about defending life. It was very empowering to be there!!!

One voice of thousands.

The march was packed with pro-lifers. Many people in the offices around the march were watching as the masses creeped by their windows. We never thought we were going to get to the end.
