Thousands of pro-life activists braved snow and below-freezing temperatures to protest legalized abortion in the nation’s capital on Friday, walking to the Capitol and Supreme Court.
The theme of this year’s march embodied that pivot: “With Every Woman: For Every Child.”
Sean Salai with The Washington Times was there.
In their permit applications to the National Park Service, organizers estimated 50,000 marchers for the protest, the same as past years.
But the raucous crowd Friday appeared smaller than last year’s gathering, perhaps reflecting the harsh weather.
Some marchers played in the snow or held umbrellas.
Several Republican pro-life members of Congress spoke at the noon rally on the National Mall, which preceded the march along Constitution Avenue.
This year’s march comes as abortion ranks high as a campaign issue for both sides heading into November’s general election.
