Highlights: Hundreds of Thousands March For Life
Highlights from the 44th annual March for Life
Hundreds of thousands of people have arrived in Washington, D.C., for the March For Life, a yearly event to promote life and urge an end to Roe v Wade. Vice President Mike Pence will make history as the first sitting VP to speak live at the event. President Donald Trump tweeted his support of the march Friday.
The #MarchForLife is so important. To all of you marching — you have my full support!

The mall was filled with men and women of all ages, showing their support for the sanctity of life.
Prior to the march, influential members of the pro-life movement addressed the crowd.
Rep. Mia Love’s (R-UT) speech was one of the more powerful moments of the day:
Each living child carries with him or her the potential for greatness. A child born today may become a doctor that cures cancer or Alzheimer’s. That child may be the astronaut that takes the world to Mars for a CEO that leads a global business. That child may become a friend that saves appear from suicide or a mom who strengthens her family, volunteers and eradicate hunger, or a teacher who inspires a struggling student. Every time we kill a child through abortion, we kill our potential.
Every time we kill a child, all of us suffer. We lose a little of ourselves and a whole lot of our future. We strip a child from their god-given potential when we, as a society, except abortion as health care. My fellow Americans, we cannot accept what might have been. We won’t know what might have been if we allow an organization to convince our pregnant women that they have no choice but to abort the life and the potential within them.
We cannot accept what might have been. We will not know what might’ve been when an organization lives to live from women empowered so they can profit. They prefer for women to be victims because they know that I truly empowered woman profits herself, her community, and everyone she touches. We cannot accept what might’ve been.
When those organizations that profit allow our children in the inner cities to feel that they can only be empowered with a life by ending a life, no, we will not accept that. We will not accept what might’ve been.
Vice President Pence became the first sitting VP to address the marchers in 44 years:

And what we will hear from the MSM will be – crickets.
That, or this will be proof that Trump is inspiring the rabid hateful Christian right that wants to control women’s bodies.
Butt-hurt much?
If you want to kill your unborn child, that’s between you and our Creator.
But don’t expect me to pay for it.
Except once a woman is pregnant it isn’t about her body anymore, is it? It’s now about her baby’s body! Keep your hands off the body of the most innocent of humans ~ the unborn child.
Oh no Tom…you will get little niggles ginned up like it was the KKK on the march!
Or otherwise it will be utterly ignored.
This is the thing though…with these marches (by the Right) I would feel safe walking around and just being on the scene. NOT so with marches like the women march for hate earlier in the week where you are GUARANTEED violence and mayhem. Those lefty marches I wouldn’t allow my kids anywhere near them!

Well you know what worries me is all these right wingers wearing masks and running around in black outfits smashing starbucks windows and confronting the police, because that’s what nazis do, ya know.
Wait – who was doing that again?
Just checked out CNN’s home page. Nothing. Not a thing. No mention whatsoever. In the top fifty stories, however, is a piece about women rushing to get IUDs since Trump’s election.
Golly, I wonder why only 14% of the public retains trust in the media?
Sorry, I downvoted you–slipped! I just checked CNN. It is under top political stories.
Herm, click the down vote again, it should remove it.
Can you imagine the wait and agony women used to experience before ultrasounds? It took 9 months to find out if you were having a puppy, a frog, or a human…
I don’t know how this can be called a womens’ march. There are no giant paper-mache heads, knit caps with little ears, obscene costumes, women screaming obscenities into bullhorns (or should that be cowhorns?), and almost no trash left behind at all.

I’m with baby, and mommy, baby and mommy.
There are moral, natural, and personal imperatives. Go forth and reconcile.
One thing we know for certain. The mall will be ultra clean as the marchers will not throw all of their garbage around so that other people have to clean up after them.
Maybe they should leave some pamphlets on the ground. The MSM will immediately swoop down to vilify them for “trashing” the place – but at least we will hear that they existed.
