Did you go to the March for Life? Then look for your family or group here.
Did you wish you could attend the March for Life? Then take some time to feel like you were there.
Do you think the pro-life movement is about angry, aging white men? Then you definitely need to see it for yourself - these are your friends and neighbors, co workers and fellow students. Click below for an up-close and personal look at the REAL face of the pro-life movement - through 477 photos of the 300,000 marchers at the 2009 March for Life:
The annual March for Life is the most under-reported event in the nation.
This is my fourth year redressing the lack of Dinosaur Media coverage with an online photo journal. If a picture says a thousand words, then people can see the truth about Pro-Lifers here: a dazzlingly diverse movement filled with youth, vitality and joy.
Following 2007 and 2008, when marchers each year numbered 200,000, we wondered what would happen in 2009 - two days following the inauguration of the most proudly pro-abortion president in this sad episode of our nation's history.
This year there were 300,000!
I stood on a column in front of the Department of Labor for 2 1/2 hours shooting over 700 pictures. I have cut them to 477 - preserving such a large number for the sake of documentation and so that marchers can find their groups. They are in the exact order in which they were shot - except for the little surprise at the end, which I took on the Mall during the speakers before the March began.
Enjoy! And please pass it on -

As always these are great photos. Thanks for sharing them.
Barbara, these are amazing. SOme of the best, most creative and impactful signs showed up this year too.
I have an idea for you, please email me, if you would? If I can find your email I'll contact you. There's an easy, quick way to get these photos seen in a huge way online, and at no cost to you or me...
Great advertising on behalf of Life! Let's keep up the noble fight for those who lack the power and voice to do so b/c they are slain in the womb...God help us overcome the death cult of abortion....amen.
May I use these pictures...in a slideshow...at my church?
Thank you!
My mom e-mailed me this morning, saying she looked through each of these pictures hoping to see me. I wasn't in any of them, but still - a great bunch of photos for an incredible event that NOBODY in the mainstream media has the guts to even mention.
(Or, if they bother to put a blurb in their papers, they say there were "thousands" of us. What they should say is there were "HUNDREDS OF thousands," but their wording makes us sound like a tiny, harmless group. Ack.)
