<\/a><\/p>\nNOTE: I\u2019ll be adding to this post all day as I find new pieces, pictures, videos, etc, so keep checking back!<\/strong><\/p>\n It seems especially poignant to me<\/strong> that as we learn more about the hundreds, if not thousands of live babies slain<\/strong><\/a> by Kermit Gosnell<\/strong><\/a>, and the pro-abortion mindset within government agencies which assisted in those killings by looking the other way<\/strong><\/a>, that thousands of people are peacefully marching in freezing-cold Washington D.C. for life<\/em>, and to speak up for human dignity.<\/p>\n As usual, the Washington DC march<\/strong><\/a> is getting short shrift from the mainstream press. They will report, as they do every year, that \u201ctens of thousands\u201d<\/em> people braved the frigid January temperatures in Washington, while the true numbers have been averaging 200,000 for years.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t look for many wide-angle photos from the event.<\/strong> You\u2019ll see close-cropped pictures of a few marchers, or some stragglers, and even more closely-cropped photos of the dozens of protesters, who will be given coverage equal to the marcher\u2019s.<\/p>\n Last night in Washington the marchers<\/strong> attended a huge kick off mass<\/strong><\/a> which packed the beautiful Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception<\/strong><\/a>, which graces the campus of the Catholic University of America. I was able to visit the gathering and learned that the University had opened its gymnasium and athletic buildings to marchers, who had sleeping bags filling every available space; after the mass, they slept on the basilica floors, too. His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo spoke at an earlier private mass and delivered a strong homily reminding the congregation of the one-ness of all in Christ.
