CNN's Rick Sanchez Not Sure Who's Protesting At Annual Pro-Life March in D.C.
Near the end of the 3PM ET hour of CNN's Rick's List on Friday, host Rick Sanchez couldn't seem to figure out who was protesting at the March for Life in Washington D.C.: "It's the 37th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade case....both sides being represented today, but it does appear to me, as I look at these signs that - which side is represented the most....Do we know?"
Sanchez directed that question to his executive producer Angie Massie as he went to a commercial break. Of course, the March for Life, as it's name implies, is an annual gathering of pro-life activists in the nation's capital to voice their opposition to abortion on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. As Rick puzzled over which side was more represented, live footage appeared on screen showing a seemingly equal number of pro-abortion and pro-life protestors.
Returning from the commercial break, Sanchez clarified that most of the protestors "seem to be" pro-life, but still seemed completely unfamiliar with the annual event: "As far as we can tell, following this protest on this day, the bulk of the protesters that we have seen here - that doesn't mean there aren't others, because we haven't gone out and counted them individually - seem to be anti-abortion activists. We've seen more pro-life signs than we have the others."
