'Get tissues': March for Life attendees in DC explain #WhyWeMarch [photos]

As always, the annual March for Life on Washington, D.C. today attracted a huge crowd that packed the National Mall and yet garnered practically no media attention. Unfortunately, today’s march was dampened not by poor weather but by the Republican-dominated House’s failure to bring a bill limiting abortion after 20 weeks to a vote. Spinelessness like that is just one more reason why they march year after year.

Amazing crowd at the #MarchForLife. We will rise to the occasion&be a force for good, a force for life. #WhyWeMarch pic.twitter.com/EQmHfUL8zM

Abortions are an insult to women who cannot conceive and mothers who have miscarried. They want so badly what you throw away #WhyWeMarch
