OFFICIAL ESTIMATE AT U.S. MARCH FOR LIFE: 200,000

WASHINGTON, January 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - LifeSite spoke today with Nellie Gray the organizer of the March for Life in Washington D.C. Gray told LifeSite that the official estimate of those at the March was 200,000.

Jim Hughes, President of Campaign Life Coalition Canada attended the March and told LifeSite that it was "Unbelievable." Hughes recalled "We were standing at the staging area and we couldn't move, it took almost an hour to start walking. It was the coldest day in 10 years in Washington but we were kept warm by a sea of bodies. Everyone was upbeat and positive with average age under 25. It was a joyful mass of people talking, praying, chanting ... a very positive experience."

Gray said she was not concerned that the liberal media basically ignored the March. "Our work must go on, this is God's work," she said.
