MB and a lot of the building went down to D.C. for the march today. I'm feeling a bit guilty for not going, but I just couldn't handle the 4:30 am wake up call. Still, I'm with them in spirit to the degree this is possible. Hopefully more people will be like her than like me and the turn out will be substantial.

Wow. Looks like a good turn out:

By 10 a.m. today, police said 800 buses had arrived at RFK Stadium; another 300 were parked at suburban lots and crowds on the Metro packed both usual trains and extra runs to bring crowds to the Mall. Metro officials said trains had carried about 350,000 people by late morning.

Police officials said their monitors showed that the crowd filled the Mall from Third Street NW to 14th Street NW.

Sponsors had received a permit for a crowd of up to 750,000 people. It is the first abortion rights rally since 1992.
