1. Mass Protest Decries Bush Abortion Policies
There was no official crowd count, but organizers claimed more than 1 million people participated.
Pink- and purple-shirted protesters raised signs reading "Fight the Radical Right," "Keep Abortion Legal" and "U.S. Out Of My Uterus" and covered the Mall from the foot of Capitol Hill to the base of the Washington Monument.

5. they're updating
this from washpost at 4:36 pm.

"The organizers' estimate of more than a million marchers was reached after they said they had passed out more than a million stickers. Alice Cohan, the march director, said 2,500 volunteers were trained and were given stickers that they pasted on people as they got off buses or entered the march area, stickers that read: "Count Me In." More than a million stickers were used, she said. The organizers will have a more accurate count, she said, when they determine exactly how many stickers they passed out.

Police, on the other hand, would not make a formal estimate. Veteran officers who had been on hand for marches and demonstrations in years past said it was the biggest such gathering since the Million Man March in 1995, a gathering whose size was hotly disputed and that led the U.S. Park Police to discontinue making crowd estimates."

what really excites me is that women from 60 other countries were there!
