The terms used are Pro-life for those who are against legal abortion, and pro-choice for those who are in favor of its legality. This is the annual Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day parade, with a huge variety of floats, bands, and groups of all kinds, with a very strong Church presence. I've been told that in many regards the Irish-American population is more conservative than that of Ireland. Usually the parade is celebrated in traditional Philadelphia fashion, which includes excessive drinking with the predicable results. Perhaps because of that, the city posted signs indicating zero tolerance for loutish behavior and rerouted the parade from its traditional path up the Parkway to one downtown on Market street, speaking out the usual crowds. I think after the experience with the Eagles victory parade last month, which essentially turned the city into a vast urban urinal, that the administration wanted to keep this one on a short leash. No real drinking, no carousing, and unfortunately kind of a bore. I left about 1PM with a longtime photographer friend to have lunch.

I ask as she's covered in shamrocks and wearing a badge that the Eighters wear over here. Was she Irish?
