Jesuit scholastic Joe Laramie sends this photo of himself (the bearded gent seated at left) and others from Boston College at the March for Life. All told, eight young Jesuits and 30 BC undergrads joined about 299,962 others at what Barbara Curtis aptly calls "the most underreported event in the nation."
I would say the second most underreported event is the influx of dynamic young men into the Jesuit order who are attracted to the charism laid out in St. Ignatius Loyola's foundations, including its loyalty to the Magisterium. Some of them, including Father Sean Raftis S.J., produced the official Jesuit publication "Standing for the Unborn," which provides forceful arguments for why faithful Catholics should see the right to life as the unbreachable foundation of all social justice.

UPDATE: John Brown S.J. of companionofjesus.com sends a link to photos of another Jesuit-led March for Life contingent, adding, "See if you can find me; Aaron Pidel, S.J.; Nathan O'Halloran, S.J.; Fr. David Brown, S.J.; Fr. Chris Collins, S.J.; Danny Tesvich, S.J.; Fr. Richard Hermes, SJ or any other unabashedly pro-life Jesuits!"
