Sarah Mills, 650 CKOM radio news announcer, earlier today [paraphrasing]:
“Organizers say up to 750 thousand are expected to march in Washington in support of abortion rights today!”
Just now, and with the same breathless emphasis:
“Tens of thousands rallied in Washington in support of abortion rights today!”
From CANOE:
“The rally on the National Mall stretched from the base of the U.S. Capitol about a mile back to the Washington Monument. Authorities no longer give formal crowd estimates, but various police sources informally estimated the throng at between 500,000 and 800,000 strong.”

OK. She stands corrected.
