OLYMPIA -- The March for Life is usually among the largest, if not the largest, demonstrations during any legislative session.

Tuesday, a crowd estimated at around 3,000 by the State Patrol, gathered on the steps of the Capitol and overflowed onto the Temple of Justice steps and the mall in between to hear legislators urge them to keep up the fight against abortion.
