OFFICIAL ESTIMATE AT U.S. MARCH FOR LIFE: 200,000
WASHINGTON, January 24,
2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - LifeSite spoke today with Nellie Gray the
organizer of the March for Life in Washington D.C. Gray told
LifeSite that the official estimate of those at the March was
200,000.
Jim Hughes, President of Campaign Life Coalition Canada attended the
March and told LifeSite that it was "Unbelievable." Hughes recalled
"We were standing at the staging area and we couldn't move, it took
almost an hour to start walking. It was the coldest day in 10 years
in Washington but we were kept warm by a sea of bodies. Everyone was
upbeat and positive with average age under 25. It was a joyful mass
of people talking, praying, chanting ... a very positive
experience."
Gray said she was not concerned that the liberal media basically
ignored the March. "Our work must go on, this is God's work," she
said.
