The bus was cancelled, so a few of us drove down. The weather was really not a problem; started snowing after one o'clock & didn't affect the drive back.
The numbers were MUCH lower - probably 20-25,000, a quarter of the #'s for the last few years. The weather. Media coverage -. Nothing on the CNN youtube channel and a two minute video on the FOX youtube channel. Here is the Washington Post coverage which was decent, as they usually are. The NY Times website had a tiny article in which they said "hundreds" marched (UPDATE: Rooftop video is here. So much for the NY Times "hundreds marched"). 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.
11 pictures + one on steps of Supreme Court. You can see how the weather changed over a period of about 2 hours.
The Rally
The March up Constitution Ave. to the Supreme Court -
There were a couple of dozen pro-abortion counter-protesters. The man's t shirt says "Abortion on Demand & Without Apology".
On the steps of the Supreme Court, women from Silent No More, speaking - very emotional, as always
May God bless all !
