BOSTON The dozens of people who marched at Boston Common on Jan. 29 to voice their opposition to abortion came prepared to face two different kinds of extreme climates: bitter temperatures and the increasingly pro-abortion political landscape. We had no idea what the turnout would be, Mary Moser, a member of Boston Pro-Life Future who helped lead the event, said after the march was held on a day with below-zero wind chills.

We re just doing our best to fight abortion extremism, especially in a climate like ours, and with the new administration that we have. It s encouraging to see everyone come out, especially on a frigid day like this, she said.
