2023 March For Life (Edit: Pics Added!)

My wife, the 5 year old, and I are in DC attending the 50th anniversary of the March For Life and the 1st year after the overturning of Roe V. Wade.

Any other TD bretheren here? I'll have a bunch of pics up once things get started around lunch time.

Postscript:

All three of us IMMENSELY enjoyed the march. We listened to the speakers, then made our way about two blocks up Constitution so I could get pictures of the main banner and front of the march as it turned from 7th St. onto Constitution.

It was so cool seeing all the banners and stuff up at the front, I told my wife, "Wow, this is so exciting, I bet this is how it felt to march in the Crusades." And a couple of old ladies in front of me looked back laughing their asses off. There were huge numbers of kids and families and I would guess over half the total participants were high school and college aged kids, which is great to see.

We fell in the march right after the main group made their way past as I was told we'd be all day if we were caught up in the main bulk of the march plus there seemed to be a lot more going on at the front. We saw 5 or 6 pro-abortion zealots calling everyone Nazis a few hundred feet into the march, but most everyone was just ignoring them.

The rally really felt like a big party and celebration of life. Some people were chanting in megaphones, a lot of people were just talking and taking pictures like me. It was just a really fun and joyous atmosphere. I was mostly focused on carrying a 40 pound dead weight on my shoulders for over an hour.

The march wound around the Capitol and then disbanded right past the steps of the Supreme Court. There were a few dozen pro-abortion crazies on the steps of the Supreme Court being nasty, but my wife was thinking there would be massive numbers of counter protesters, but it was very calm. We went over to Union Station (which is really pretty, by the way) and jumped on the metro to head over to Georgetown and finished the evening off walking along the river and eating at a very nice (and crazy expensive) Italian place for our 9th anniversary.

Yes. Fact.

Cool. Are y’all marching for massive tax increases to pay for all the new babies too?

From someone who should thank God every day that his mother made the decision not to abort him but he doesn't.

God bless you and your family. I hope you have a wonderful time.

There is a large group of high school kids from Baton Rouge there. They are all wearing white hats.

Easy solution. For every baby not murdered we send back over the border two illegals. That and tax “the big guy’s” ten percent. Oh, yeah, and quit giving multiple billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine.

Yep - only President ever to attend….doesn’t just talk the talk.

I think many would disagree with the characterization of them being babies but ok.

I hear on here post after post talking about welfare queens and how their tax dollars go to people who don't pay anything and there needs to be a fair tax to make them pay, but yeah they want to help these women out if you say so.
