March for Life 2013 Photos

A huge crowd turned out for the March for Life in Washington, D.C., on January 25^th. The weather was cold, with occasional snow. Spirits were high, though, and some marchers chanted: "Hey, hey! Obama! Your Mama Chose Life!"

After a rally on the Mall, marchers walked up Capitol Hill to the U.S. Supreme Court, protesting the 40^th anniversary of the Court's Roe v. Wade decision. Afterwards, many went to congressional offices to speak with their Members of Congress or with legislative staff.
