This week is the March for Life. Happening every year since Roe v. Wade in 1973. I've attended 6 years, not in a row, but it's still hard to think I'm not going this year. Anywho, here are some tidbits about the March:
- It snakes from the National Mall to the U.S. Supreme Court.
- In 1987, 10,000 tread through deep snow for the March.
- Nellie Gray, the face behind the March, passed away in 2013. She started the March with 30 people. Now the numbers keep growing. In 2013, 650,000 attended. The amount is expected to increase. This number includes now the vast amount of people who can't travel, but "attend" the March online.
- The hope is that there will be no more March someday. They are trying to organize themselves out of existence by fighting the abortion culture.
