Thousands of abortion opponents gathered in cold, blustery weather near the Washington Monument Friday and heard Vice President Mike Pence tell the annual March for Life that the Trump administration is determined to advance the fight against abortion.
Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Thousands of thousands? Nearly as many thousands or more thousands than the Anti-Trump wimyns marchers?
 The massive crowd, bearing flags, banners and placards, then flowed down Constitution Avenue, filling the street, and rallied at the Supreme Court building across from the Capitol.
How many thousands make up a "massive crowd"?
Many marchers were in school and church groups, carrying flags, banners, posters -- and a life-size cutout of Pope Francis. They sang, chanted and prayed. The vast majority was white.
Well! So they're not as authentic as the Anti-Trump Wimyns march.
"Remember, we are guests in this city and we're going to be respectful," called Adam, has he and other youth leaders handed out 200 boxes Subway sandwiches. "We are pilgrims; we do not litter."
Well, maybe not authentic, but they can't expect their betters to clean up after them.
"I'm all about women's rights, except when it comes to the baby. I believe - it's my opinion - but I believe a baby is a gift from God, and once the baby is a gift from God, it's no longer your body, but there's another body within. And that body has a right also."
How quaint. Clearly not a Progressive!
The first March for Life was held one year after the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 that recognized a right to abortion nationwide. Subsequent marches have been held on or near the Jan. 22 anniversary every year since.
Did the Supremes call it a "right"?
On Friday, the marchers chanted, "Hey, hey, ho ho, Roe v Wade has got to go!"
Nationwide, 59 percent of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the highest percentage since 1996, according to facts cherry picked from a 2016 Pew Research Center .
So is that 9% 'in all cases' and 50% in 'most cases'? How many in 'some cases'? Why do they have to be selective in what they report?
