Update 1:31pm: We've uploaded the first crop of photos. Check back for more. The March to the Supreme Court has been underway for about twenty minutes.
Update 1:08pm: Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said, "Your faces are cold but your hearts are on fire, right?" He related that in 1973 he was driving home on the freeway when he learned of the Roe v. Wade decision. "I grieved over it because I knew it meant millions of babies would die," he said. "Who would've known it would be 56 million by this point 41 years later?" Telling the story of a couple he counselled to choose life for their child, he told the crowd, "I say to you, if you're facing a similar situation, … let your baby live!" He then marvelled at the youth of the crowd. "Look at the young people who are here!" he said. "You are the hope of the future and together we're going to win this fight!" Update 1:00pm: Giovanna Romero of Latinas por la Vida told marchers that blacks and Hispanics are "systematically targeted by the culture of death." "Who is with me to fight the good fight?" she asked. "We are the pro-life generation and we will make a mark in history. … We will make an end to abortion!" Donna Harrison, executive director of the American Association of Pro-Life Ob/Gyns, said the front lines of the abortion battle are changing. It's no longer the clinic and the hospital, but the dorm room and campus clinic because of the promotion of emergency contraceptive drugs, which act as abortifacients. She told the youth, "you've now become the frontline in the battle against abortion." Update 12:43pm: Vicky Hartzler, R-MO, told marchers, "We are here today to remember the millions of lives devastated with abortion and to pledge ourselves anew to upholding the most fundamental" right, "the right to life."
