March for Life 2013 - Full Two-Hour Video from EWTN

EWTN has posted a YouTube video of their March for Life coverage, starting at the beginning of the march, and going all the way to the conclusion of their live coverage. The video omits the rally that preceded the march, where several political and religious leaders spoke to the assembled crowd, but it apparently includes EWTN's full two hours of live coverage of the march itself.

If you missed the March for Life on EWTN last week, here is your chance to watch it:

March for Life 2013 - Live Video Coverage on EWTN

Sorry for the lack of posting -- it has just been a busy time lately.

Today is the 40th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., sadly commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion in the United States. You can watch live coverage of the March for Life today on EWTN starting at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Here is the link for EWTN live streaming online:

EWTN Live Video

Tips: You can make the video display full-screen by clicking the button in the lower-right corner of the video. Also, if you right-click on the video, there is a "Stretching" option that you can toggle to set the correct aspect ratio, so that people on the screen don't look like they are stretched out. (I think you have to click on the "Stretching is..." command twice to get the correct aspect ratio.)

Two March for Life videos from OneBillionStories.com

The young man behind the web site OneBillionStories.com was at the 2012 March for Life. He created several videos from his trip, and I selected these as my two favorites. The first one highlights the testimony of a woman who regrets her abortion. The second one is a short interview with Bobby Schindler, the brother of Terry Schiavo.

Interviews with Fr. Frank Pavone, Abby Johnson, and David Bereit at the 2012 March for Life

Heartbeat International conducted interviews with several big names in the pro-life movement at this year's March for Life. Here are the videos:

Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life:



Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood clinic director, and author of Unplanned:



David Bereit, founder and director of 40 Days for Life:

Babies Go to Congress

Heartbeat International is a network of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers and maternity homes, which work to support mothers and babies both before and after pregnancy and birth. In conjunction with this year's March for Life in Washington, D.C., Heartbeat International conducted a "Babies Go to Congress" campaign. They brought some of the many women that they have helped, and their children, to Washington to talk to members of Congress about the good that is being done across the country by pro-life crisis pregnancy centers and maternity homes. Here are the testimonies of three of these women:

Too many March for Life videos?

Dear readers (viewers?), I apologize if you are getting tired of March for Life videos at this point. I know I have posted quite a few of them over the past few days.

I think that the annual March for Life is a very important event that doesn't get nearly enough coverage in the media, and I have been finding many worthwhile videos from the march. Therefore I have let the March for Life (and the Walk for Life West Coast) take over my blog for the past few days, and I still plan to post a few more videos today and tomorrow. But in case you are getting tired of the March for Life videos, please check back on Wednesday, when I plan to return to regularly scheduled programming, so to speak.

2011 March for Life in 50 Seconds

Here is a time-lapse video showing the entire 2011 March for Life compressed into about 50 seconds. It is from last year's march, but it is a great video for demonstrating the sheer size of the crowd at the march each year:



Here are some details on the video, from the description on YouTube:

This is a timelapse of the 2011 "March for Life" in Washington D.C. This video is 599 still images taken every ten seconds for a total duration of 99 minutes. The official start of the march is designated by the banner you see at about 13 seconds in. Everyone in front of that banner jumped the gun. That is why there is a sizable gap just before that banner.

You may also want to check out a similar time lapse video, also from last year's march. I will watch for a time lapse video of this year's March for Life, and I will post it here if I find a good one.

(Thanks to Steven Greydanus for the link to this video, which he provided in one of the comments on his March for Life Live-Blogging post at the National Catholic Register.)

College Students at the 2012 March for Life

In this video, CampusReform.org interviews some of the many college students who attended the 2012 March for Life in Washington, D.C.

(Please note that I know very little about CampusReform.org, and I do not necessarily endorse their political positions or activities. But I do think that they did a nice job with this video.)

March for Life Video from the Dioceses of Charlotte and Raleigh

Here is a nice photo montage of the March for Life and related events, from the Diocese of Charlotte and the Diocese of Raleigh:



Here is the video description from YouTube:

Catholic faithful from the Diocese of Charlotte and the Diocese of Raleigh traveled by bus to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., Jan. 22-23, 2012, to protest the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the legalization of abortion.

Christendom College Leads the March for Life

Here is a video showing students from Christendom College carrying the banner and leading this year's March for Life in Washington, D.C.:



From the video's description on YouTube:

On January 23, the entire student body of Christendom College, including members of the faculty and staff, led hundreds of thousands in protesting abortion at the 39th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. Select students were given the honor of carrying the lead March for Life banner as well as the official March for Life flags.

You can learn more about Christendom College at their website. Also check out Christendom's YouTube channel.

March for Life 2012: The Rebellion

Here is a video about this year's March for Life, created by Marc Barnes of the Bad Catholic blog:



The video features scenes from the march, and short interviews with many of the young people there. I was a bit confused about one young lady's comment about the "right to die." I really don't think that she meant it as a pro-euthanasia comment, but it kind of came across that way. But overall, this is a great video that gives a real "man on the street" view of the March for Life.

Also, please take the time to watch Marc's excellent video from last year's March for Life.

UPDATE: Please check back for more March for Life videos that I plan to post over the next few days.

March for Life Time Lapse Video

Here is a nice follow-up to yesterday's video on the March for Life. This is a short video using the equivalent of time-lapse photography to show the large number of people who participated in the March for Life this year. (Various estimates place the number of participants in the march at anywhere from 50,000 to as high as 400,000.)



Also, Steven Greydanus has a nice first-hand live-blogging account of the march.
