Maureen Wittman, homeschooling expert, took a group of teens. <\/a>She’s blogged, has photos, and asked the teens to contribute their thoughts as well.<\/p>\n

Fr. Martin Fox has an interesting account, too.<\/a><\/p>\n

Photos from the West Coast march are linked here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Mossa, S.J. has a couple of photos and a brief account of the gathering of students and others from Jesuit institutions for the March. <\/a><\/p>\n

At 9:00 am on Monday, students and colleagues from our Jesuit high schools and universities around the country along with priests and scholastics from those same institutions and the Washington DC area filled Saint Aloysius Gonzaga Church in downtown Washington DC for Mass. We then proceeded en masse<\/span> to the Mall for the March for Life, joining the thousands of other people who had also come to march.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Update: <\/u>Interesting agreement among commentors (inspired by Fr. Fox’s blog entry) that the rally part of the March for Life is too long, with too many speeches and perhaps too many politicians…<\/p>\n
