"One thing that has always impressed me as an Anglican is that the Catholics have been here forever. They are so faithful. They are here in huge numbers," said John Grimsley in an interview with CP as marchers proceeded to march to the Supreme Court.

This Christian Post reporter estimates that approximately 75 to 80 percent of March for Life attendees this year were younger than 30. Numerous college students, high schoolers and young children carrying "we are the Pro-Life Generation" signs were seen everywhere.

"I'm amazed at the number of kids here," Grimsley added. This year was his fourth or fifth march, and this was "by far the biggest [crowd] I've ever seen."
