Crowd estimates ranged from dozens to hundreds to thousands, according to various news reports. Protesters were characterized as being mostly conservative Catholics, evangelicals and abortion opponents.
In several, bishops, priests, other religious leaders and lawmakers excoriated crowds to fight the employer mandate, which would require Catholic hospitals and universities and other religious organizations to provide contraception coverage to their employees.
The protest, timed to mark the second anniversary of President Obama's signing of the Affordable Care Act, was organized by "Stand Up for Religious Freedom" and local groups.
