How many people were there in today's March for life?

[Nick Otean]

If attendance to this march was low, as I suspect, the media should not cover it up. Has anyone here heard estimates about how the crowd size compared to the women's march?

[JDC]

1. On Tv it looked to have a decent crowd

[TrekLuver]

2. As big as the women's march?

[JDC]

7. No, but there was a lot of people to be sure

Men and women

[JDC]

8. Not sure what I saw on the Tube

This looks like a typical tourist day on the mall, or less

9. I'd say this was the peak

CNN must have been in the middle of a group. They showed a split screen and plenty of people walking - filling the street. sound was off though. Working and all...

10. I support these peoples right to protest - even though I totally disagree with the issue...why then

can't they say the same thing about the women's march? I'll be using this tidbit of hypocrisy in my future attacks on twitter.

3. NYT and WAshington Post call it "thousands."

Not tens of thousands.

And one person posted comparison photos on Twitter:

5. tRump will say it was millions who showed up and the cameras were lying.

[Afromania]

6. sure does looks like thousands

ones of thousands. It's funny how life seems to end with these people the second the baby is born.

"Hey little person we made sure you came into this world for parent(s) that may not be financially or emotionally ready for you. Best of luck and see you again in 15-18 years when we either lock you up or lock you out."

Sincerely,
Pro Life Republican Voters

4. The religious zealots were there, cheering on their president.

They're just waiting for their god to replace tRump with Pence.

11. how many were kids getting a day off from school?

[NCTraveler]

12. So these are the ones without jobs? Nt

[flygal]

19. I'm sure they are homeschooled. oops that was in reply the school post above

[treestar]

20. Haha

Yeah, what's their excuse?

13. I hate the term "pro life"

As if anyone who supports women's right to choose is "anti-life." Is it "pro life" to demand that women pay for burial of a fetus after an abortion or a miscarriage, as Texas Gov Abbot has done? Is it "pro life" to deny an abortion to a woman who has been raped, or a child who's a victim of incest, as many of the so-called "pro-lifers" have advocated? Or, to a woman whose life is in danger from a pregnancy, as the Catholic Church wants?

I hate, hate HATE hypocrites. And that is what these people are, no matter how "sincere" they are in their beliefs. I'm willing to bet that most of them would head to an abortion clinic if their daughter was raped, or if their wife's life was in danger.

14. and usually they are NOT pro-life

they're usually fine with war and executions, and don't really care much about supporting that life once it has been delivered

[Jamaal510]

15. This is the "pro-life" march summed up:

16. +1

17. They just showed a sort of flyover shot on CNN...it was packed, but then crowd ended fairly quickly.

It was nothing like the women' march.

"Many thousands huddled in the shadow of the Washington Monument and stood in long lines outside security checkpoints made necessary by Pence's appearance."
