Traveling to DC to join hundreds of thousands of other pro-lifers is an exhilarating and inspiring experience. If you have not yet made the trek, we highly recommend it. The vast majority of those participating in the march are youth, the future of our country. They are enthusiastic, happy and embrace the cause for life with an infectious joy.
