Students from the University of Kansas gathered with about 50,000 protesters Wednesday in Washington, D.C., to voice their anti-abortion opinions.
About 42 KU students joined 30 other students from Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University and Ottawa University for the event, which was organized by the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. Most of the Kansas students
who attended were Catholic.
Kristi Rausch, Andale senior, organized the event. She regarded the trip as a "pilgrimage" and an opportunity to let the government hear her concerns.
"In 30 or 50 years people will look back and say, 'How is it possible we have legalized the murder of babies?' " Rausch said.
Conception. The church, which was designed to hold 6,000 people, was filled with 8,000 anti-abortion supporters.
The group left Sunday morning, and Monday night it attended a Mass that focused on anti-abortion issues at a local church.
The crowd included priests, bishops, archbishops and a White House representative who delivered a message from President Bush.
The students attended a vigil Tuesday night at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate

"I think it's important to show ... that there are men who are willing
"Kansas was well represented," Rausch said.
During a rally at the Washington Monument, the group was joined by students from St. Benedictine College in Atchison and Bishop Carrol Catholic High School in Wichita.
Sen. Sam Brownback, U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kansas) and U.S. Rep. Todd Tiabrt (R-Kansas) all attended the event.
A march took the group on a two-mile trek to the steps of the Supreme Court. Rausch said the
Rausch said she stood on the steps and looked back at the thousands of protesters behind her.
march was peaceful with people singing, praying and chanting slogans like "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Roe v. Wade has got to go" and "Prochoice is a lie, babies never choose to die."
After they arrived on the steps of the court, many people took some time to pray.
"It's a really powerful experience," she said. "You feel like you make a difference."

sity could cooperate with an INS mandate related to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. Information such as social security numbers, cities of birth, countries of origin and student identification numbers were among the data in the files.
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services, said the hacking incident took place during a "temporary hole" created while the University was updating its security
service. Goodyear said KU officials discovered the problem during a routine security check.
Goodyear said the hacking was related to the University's Microsoft operating system, not the program the University was using to collect international student data for the INS.
Goodyear said she was confident that the University's server was now secure but could not rule out further hacking.
Bretz said the University was cooperating with the FBI as it investigated the case. Investigators were on campus yesterday pursuing leads. Jeff Lanza, special agent for the FBI's Kansas City office, said the investigation was "in its very initial stages."
"The focus is determining the hacker's root and if they were specifically targeting that database," Lanza said.
"We know there's a community that's constantly hacking," Goodyear said. "We're doing all we can to protect the University and the students."
As of yesterday the FBI was limiting its investigation to the KU campus.
