March fof Life and Rally Was a Success

I took some photos of the March for Life 2018 in Federal Plaza.

I was delighted to be greeted by Brother Rice (2017) alumnus Chris Hernandez who is studying political science and intends to take a law degree upon graduation from college.  The number of teens and young people like Chris (above) floored me.  Maybe the tide has turned against abortion; used be that Pro-life was the 50-90 demographic. There were many south side schools including Marist and Mother McAuley, St. Laurence represented in Daley Plaza.

I recognized many of my neighbors, escpecially the Chicago Police Officers detailed to keep counter protesters from disrupting the program.  My Leo High School winter coat brought out many welcomes from the boys and girls in blue and black.

The weather was bracing, bracing; Bergoff's was closed and so I remained mind on task.

I would put the crowd at 2,000 and all were very courteous, welcoming and life affirmimg.

There were about two dozen counter-protestors with very good bull-horns and bad manners.

Here are some shots.
