Does crowd size matter? If you ask political beancounters on the left and right, it matters a lot, and if you ask President Donald Trump, it’s all that matters.
Pundits are comparing the crowd size of the March for Life event against that of the Women’s March, and it looks like this year both marches had a huge attendance, though, one may have garnered more celebrity endorsements.
An estimated 650,000 attended a huge March for Life rally in D.C. in 2013. In previous years, numbers ranged around 400,000. According to The Washington Post, this year’s event was likely to draw hundreds of thousands of participants, similar to previous years.
Other similarly large events included a March for Women’s Lives in 2004, with an estimated attendance of 500,000 to 1.15 million, a Million Moms March in 2000 with an estimated attendance of 750,000, and an anti-Vietnam protest in 1969 with an estimated attendance of 600,000.

One should be reminded that the March for Life is NOT a one-time event like the Women's march. Normally crowds shrink as an event becomes routine. The decades-old commitment of pro-lifers proves this issue cannot be buried or permanently censored.
