Thousands turned out for the Louisiana Life March across the Texas Street bridge.Abortion opponents gathered at the Boardwalk for the 1.2 mile walk across the bridge which wrapped up with a gathering at Festival Plaza.

Carrying signs and wearing t-shirts to make their stance on the issue of abortion known, some people even made the event a family affair.

Representative-Elect Mike Johnson for Louisiana House District 8 says more than 6,000 people showed up for the event. "The life march was a real blessing for all involved."

About 30 protesters did show up, but police helped keep everything peaceful.
