I'm not sure in what brutal universe I would be granted the private right to smother grandma to death in the privacy of my own home simply because grandma couldn't survive outside the care of my home, but apparently that right is granted to those who wish to kill unborn babies - ostensibly because those babies can't survive outside the womb, and society shouldn't judge the private decisions of others because it's like, you know, uh, private.
Huh?
Last Friday marked the 37th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. Since then 50 million unborn babies have been killed.
Tens of thousands of people marched in the cold last Friday in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate against abortion. (video)
"Abortion opponents have held the annual march since 1974. The goal is to protest the Supreme Court's Jan. 22, 1973, ruling that most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy. Over the years, the march has grown into one of the largest events for abortion opponents.
The events began early Friday morning with a youth rally at the Verizon Center. The rally, organized by the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, featured religious bands, a Mass conducted by bishops from across the country, including Washington Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl, and a "confess-a-thon," in which more than 100 priests heard confessions at stations set up in the arena.
Friday afternoon, the march on the Mall went along Constitution Avenue, up Capitol Hill and then to the Supreme Court."
I bet our loyalist lap dog network talking heads didn't make but a passing mention of this event all weekend. Maybe Monday. Or when the crickets stop chirping.
However, the usual suspects championed Roe v Wade, and vowed to continue this 'fundamental right' of carnage (I wonder if pro-abortionists are descended from those who thought Dred Scott was only 4/5ths of a human being? But I digress).
We can do better. And the youth are leading the way: New survey shows youth becoming more pro-life.
"Members of the Millennial generation (18-29 y.o.) say abortion is “morally wrong” at a rate of 58 percent.
The survey, which was conducted between December 2009 and January 2010, was co-sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and the Marists. It asked, among other things, if abortion was “morally wrong.”
Fifty-six percent of Americans said they thought that abortion was indeed “morally wrong.”
The survey shows that Americans are becoming more pro-life, but more importantly, it showed that the upcoming generations are more pro-life than those nearing retirement."
