Over 200,000 pro-life people gathered on the National Mall for the “March for Life” yesterday. Marchers have gathered since 1974 on the day of the Roe vs. Wade decision when the Supreme Court legalized abortion.
Marchers, who have often had to brave the frigid D.C. temperatures, were met with a surprisingly mild day. Spirits appeared upbeat as banners held by young people proclaimed “Defend Life” and “I Am The Pro-Life Generation.”
According to NewsBusters.org, despite the massive March For Life turnout, the big three TV networks gave the march a paultry 15 seconds of coverage.
Of the three broadcast networks, only CBS mentioned the 2015 March for Life, allotting it just 15 seconds. That’s one second for every 13,000 people who put work and school aside and traveled from as far away as the West Coast. It’s one second for every 3.8 million babies aborted in the last 42 years.
Below are several Vines and Instagram videos of the March for Life event.
