Unfortunately, I was not able to attend due to my scheduling and obligations. However, I was with my brothers and sisters in spirit and prayer; supporting them on social media. Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina was present and spoke to the marchers. Fr. Frank Pavone, Cardinal Sean o' Malley and many others were present as well. As usual, a few hateful pro abortion protesters stood on the sidelines trolling the participants. They were drowned out by the cheerful prayers, songs and chants from the pro-life marchers.
Kudos to those brave soldiers for life! God will reward you for bearing the weather to call for the protection of all human life in all its stages of development!
Here are some photos and tweets of the event which was a success once again despite the inclement weather.

The media doesn't cover the massive crowds at the #MarchForLife. Incredible turnout even with a blizzard on the way. pic.twitter.com/iQ17so1a6k— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 22, 2016

If your group canceled your trip to #MarchForLife, call this number so your pre-paid space can help the homeless. https://t.co/kx0jJHlkNY— Fr Matthew Schneider (@FrMatthewLC) January 21, 2016
