1 million+, sucka!

Wow. No seriously, wow! Yesterday’s March for Women’s Lives drew an amazing crowd of women and men from all over the country.
March organizers are putting the number of people attending at over a million, which if you were there doesn’t seem unreasonable at all.
Here’s the March coverage so far:
The New York Times’ piece is pretty thorough, though I’d argue the headline “Hundreds of Thousands March for Abortion Rights” is pretty limiting–come on now, this was about so much more than abortion.
The Washington Post’s article is accompanied by a photo gallery and video.
USA Today’s coverage does a good job in describing anti-choice contingent’s mindset: “A small number of opponents to abortion rights lined Pennsylvania Avenue during the march…Jordan Gehrke, 22, of Carson City, Mich., taunted marchers…’It’s a good thing you didn’t kill her,’ he screamed at a marcher carrying a small child.” Very nice.
My favorite anti-choicers were the dudes telling me I’m going to hell and carrying a “Rebellious Jezebels” sign. Is it just me, or is that a great name for a band?
Ms. Musings has great coverage of the whole weekend. Christine–how tired are you right now? Wow!
Feminist Majority has a photo gallery, though we personally dig the Feministing pics below…
