Daughter Daena, son-in-law Andy, and I marched with an estimated 400-650,000 like-minded pro-life souls yesterday at the 40th annual March for Life. Here was our view while in the thick of it (click all photos to enlarge)…

Their reticence was supposed to credential the Court’s judgment as somehow uniquely objective and thus supremely authoritative.
