CHICAGO – The temperature was 7 degrees, wind chill minus twenty, but thousands of pro-lifers warmed up Chicago's Daley Plaza Sunday afternoon to commemorate the 50 million unborn babies lost since the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe vs Wade decision to legalize abortion.
Groups such as Illinois Right to Life, Students for Life, Pro-Life Action League and numerous others from surrounding midwestern states merged in downtown Chicago, bringing together an estimated 5000 to March for Life-Chicago.
Illinois Review's citizen journalist/photographer Mark Weyermuller was on hand, and shared these photos from Sunday afternoon's gathering.

These pictures are good but the crowd was so much, much larger than they can show. It was a terrific showing even in -20 Chicago wind blowing temp. brrrr
What a great sight to see…so many pro-life folks out in -20 degree wind chill marching for life!
