A new addition this year: to kick off the big March and Rally on the Mall held on January 22, there was a Mini-Rally at the White House held the night before to try to bring the message a little closer to President Obama.

Nellie Gray, President of the annual March for Life.

Dr. John Bruchalski, (Former Abortionist ) founded the Tepeyac Family Center in Fairfax, VA. www.tepeyacfamilycenter.com

Women from the Silent No More Awareness campaign gave testimonies at the Rally about the devastating effects of abortion in their lives. www.silentnomoreawareness.org

Young women are moved to tears as they listen to personal testimonies of women having experienced abortions.

I was impressed to see quite a few older people weathering the elements for the Pro-Life cause.

I could really feel the energy and enthusiasm of the young adults spilling over everyone throughout the Mall. There was a real sense of conviction, ownership and that this movement was not going away anytime soon.
