March for Life, 2013

Mary Cooney writes from the US about Friday's March for Life through Washington D.C. to the steps of the Supreme Court, where, 40 years ago, the court created a right to abortion on demand at any time during pregnancy: "Despite the cold weather and snow, there were many more people at the March for Life than I have seen in past years.  There were easily over half a million people there, mostly young and exuberant. Very uplifting and inspiring! And we ran into some people from Arizona and Canada."

The following video shows the strong youth contingent in the march, close up. (Go to Video Watch for another powerful video.)
