Reflections on the March for Life
23/01/08 12:53
So this
year was my second March for Life. It was just as
powerful as the first one, just a few degrees warmer
thankfully. It's hard to describe the feeling one
gets when hearing such a large group of people remain
silent and then utter "amen" during the final
prayer before the
walk. It's hard to explain the feel of so many people
solemnly singing God Bless America. Overall, it's
pretty hard to explain the walk unless you've been
there. And, trust me, a lot of people have been
there. The news
reports all claim "tens of thousands", while
Wikipedia says 100,000-300,000 people were in
attendance. 20,000 students fully-packed the Verizon
Center hours before the walk for one last mass. All
these people, a majority of whom were students, give
me hope for the future of the American genocide that
claimed 1.2 million lives last year.
