This is a catch-all post. I’m going to try to get some serious work done today, so I invite you to add your own links and most especially your own experiences, if you went to any of the events in DC – or elsewhere.

The Washington Post starts off describing the march a bit, then by paragraph 4, changes course:

Democratic leaders have said they prefer what they consider a less combative approach in preparing legislation on the abortion issue. Several bills are circulating that would change the focus of the abortion debate to pregnancy prevention, through such measures as improved access to contraception.

Democrats say their goal is to find a political compromise, an approach echoed yesterday by some abortion rights advocates.

"We wish those people who are coming in town for a great adventure one day a year would join with us to put forth a prevention-first agenda that would significantly reduce the need for abortion," said Jatrice Martel Gaiter, president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington.

At least the WaPo doesn’t hide this interesting detail about the Silent No More event:

As the women spoke, some in English and some in Spanish, their words were interrupted by about 100 abortion rights advocates linking arms and holding signs saying: "Trust women."

It will be interesting, as it always is, to read accounts of folks who were there.

Robert Casey met with a group:

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey was told by opponents of abortion Monday that they’d be praying for him — and watching how he votes.

In a sometimes tense meeting, hundreds of Pennsylvanians on Capitol Hill for the annual March for Life rally questioned Casey about whether he was indebted to abortion rights groups because of money he had taken in his 2006 campaign.

Even though Casey, D-Pa., is opposed to abortion, there were widespread groans when he explained his support for the morning-after pill.

"We’re going to continue to pray for you, and pray that you do what you know is right," said Denise Johnston, of Oakmont, toward the end of the meeting.

Casey, speaking to a standing-room-only crowd of all ages in a Senate office building, calmly answered questions for several minutes.
