As we recognize the fortieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, pro-lifers should consider supporting a constitutional amendment to abolish abortion forty years from now.
It has been forty years since the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. Last year, about this time, I reflected on “The Unbearable Wrongness of Roe.” Now, after another year of a million-and-a-half lives lost to abortion, it is fitting to reflect on those past forty years and to think creatively, and perhaps prophetically, about the next forty. What different roads might have been taken before? And what might that say about paths to be taken now, for the future, if those of us who may be alive in another forty years are to hope to see the promised land of protection of human life?

You just gotta love it when a pro-abortion columnist admits that the term “pro-death” is indeed the appropriate moniker for her movement.
First, on a personal note: Thank you, thank you and thank you, Mary Elizabeth Williams! What a glorious service you’ve done the pro-life cause. I know, that’s not what you intended. But that’s precisely what you’ve accomplished. Read more…

Despite the fact that tens of thousands of people showed up in Washington and other cities for last Friday’s “March for Life” events, media coverage from the major secular news agencies was sparse.
The nation’s mainstream media has once again shown its pro-abortion bias. According to the Media Research Center (MRC), in the 40 years since the first March for Life, the media coverage has been consistently lopsided in favor of the pro-abortion perspective. Rich Noyes, MRC’s director of research, said The New York Times has virtually ignored the march for five years running. Read more…
Special thanks to Peggy B. who sent these pictures and these words of her experience:
I have done the West Coast WFL in SF for the past seven years. That march continued to grow every year and the number of crazies and hecklers decreased every year. Both positive signs in that bastion of relativism.
I loved being a part of the “inaugural” SD Walk for Life. My husband and I met up with our daughter and son-in-law and their young friends. It was such a beautiful and peaceful march. It almost seemed unnatural to not see one opposing person or sign! I loved chatting again with Walter Hoye. I loved meeting Dr. Morse and so many wonderful people who were in the various booths. I am starting to volunteer with the Culture of Life group. I am so happy to be living in San Diego!

From the article: “Mainstream media, take a memo,” she wrote in a tongue-in-cheek column published shortly after the NPR decision, “and frame all news stories this way: Refer to abortion supporters as ‘right to life opponents,’ refer to gun control supporters as ‘gun rights opponents,’ refer to ‘hate speech’ backers as ‘speech rights opponents.’”
“Who wants to be against rights, right?” Barber quipped. Read more…

January 24, 2013 (NCRegister) – When I was younger, I was always particularly shocked when I heard about societies where it was common to abandon or kill unwanted newborns. In college I once read a particularly graphic description of a family in ancient Greece “discarding” a newborn baby girl. I was shocked to the point of breathlessness. I was also horribly confused: How could normal people be okay with this, let alone participate in it? Nobody I knew would do that! Were people that different back then?! Read more…

Despite recent state restrictions and a growth in pro-life sentiment, more than a million lives are lost to abortion each year in the US.
Americans are a mixed bag in terms of their attitudes toward abortion and the humanity of unborn children. It is an interesting question whether or not the 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, along with its companion case, Doe v. Bolton, actually kept these issues alive when they might have been consigned to ultimate invisibility by cultural regression and political inertia.

In Canada, two pro-life jailbirds have been awarded Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medals.
It is hard to drink Champagne in handcuffs. However, this week at least two Canadians are going to try. Linda Gibbons and Mary Wagner recently received Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medals. Each member of Parliament has the opportunity to nominate 30 people and Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott nominated these two, among others. Read more…

Canada has no law governing abortion, and pro-choice forces oppose even debating one.
In Canada, a legal question mark hangs over the humanity of the unborn child. Pro-abortion advocates have passionately opposed MP Stephen Woodworth’s private member’s motion to set up a parliamentary committee to examine the definition of “human being” in the Canadian Criminal Code, arguing “there is nothing to discuss”. This definition provides that “a child becomes a human being” only at birth. They fear a discussion could result in some legal recognition of unborn children and the enactment of some law governing abortion. Read more…
