March

Whole families marched on Sunday, from infants to wheelchaired grandmothers. When I got off the train and waited outside for Jes and Kristin, I was met with dozens of reunions – old friends who were so happy and proud to see each other. That feeling stayed with me the whole day.


Sure it was a huge crowd – more people in one place than I have ever seen. Of course I couldn’t capture in pictures the size of the crowd – I was more interested in taking pictures of people:







And signs. This guy stationed himself just beyond the pro-life demonstrators:




Alanna won the award for the most popular marcher. She and her sign were even recognized by a pro-life site:




When we left the rally, hours later, thousands of people were still marching:



Look at those awesome homemade signs! (photo courtesy of Alanna Boyd):

    So are you saying you’d rather have fruits and vegetables in your box than an unwanted baby?

    Are you saying you “tested” a helmet by throwing yourself against a wall head-first?

    It was more like banging. But I used protection. Can you say the same?
