I made the roughly 4 hour journey down to our nations capital to join the masses in what would be, in my mind one of the most important marches to date for the cause. With the new health care reform being pushed upon us, we need to make our voices heard on the issue of abortion. I believe its the only chance we have at this time to make a difference.
If you are like many, and believe that these marches are ineffective, a waste of time and money, and that the energy directed to the powers that be, will only fall deaf ears... I would have to agree with you.
This time around, this 2010 March, was different. I could feel it in my bones.
If there was one thing lacking, it would be women between the ages of 20-35. I kind of felt alone out there. Granted, everyone was bundled up in the cold, I could really see anyone my age who is trying to unite and create a support for the cause at this stage in our lives. Its now that women are faced with careers, "futures", fear of sacrificing for what could be... its this age group that needs to be enveloped in the message of love and hope that the Life Ministries depict.
Anyways, I took a number of photos to show you the kind of energy that was down in DC today.
Let me know what you think!
