→How many people does each attendee educate?
::Unlike Wikipedia, Conservapedia allows for original research. Why not have a Conservapedian contact a reputable pro-life organization and ask them how many people they think the average attendee shares his/her experience with? In fact, several organizations could be contacted. That would be a better way of approaching things. I worked for an organization where I had to interview people in order to get information. When I was trained, I was told to ASK and not merely assume. You get better information that way. Many times people make bad assumptions due to having less information at their disposal. For example, an actual pro-life organization might have a better estimate on the number of clergy who attend. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 12:50, 24 January 2012 (EST)

:::::::Here is the contact information for an organization with a broad base of supporters from different backgrounds: National Right to Life Committee (202) 626-8800. Why not ask them instead of taking a more speculative approach? It seems to me that the more speculative an encyclopedia article is, the less encyclopedic it is.

I agree with User:Conservative: The statement ''The influence of the March for Life is approximately 20 times its attendance, as the average person who attends communicates his participation to 20 others'' is purely speculative, and stating it as a fact without further research makes the whole section looking dubious! Can't you rephrase the paragraph without made-up numbers? Or qualify them somewhat, like: ''obviously millions of people are influenced by the march of life?''
