Our local Support Life Rally was held on the steps of our county government building with a current County Commissioner giving the keynote speech. There was no mention of our event in the local news paper or on the local television news.

This is a wake-up call that Pro-lifers who want to influence public policy need to contact their legislators directly before doing public demonstrations. The media may never convey the impact of the demonstrations to them if legislators are not present to observe.
Public demonstrations are also important, but direct individual communication should be attempted first.

The news coverage also blurred the difference between the more than 100,000 people that attended the March for Life and several dozen that attended pro-abortion rallies.....

Abortion foes march in D.C. to repeal law
WASHINGTON - Thousands of abortion protesters, some carrying signs that said "American Holocaust" and "I regret my abortion," marched from the White House to the Supreme Court yesterday to mark the 31st anniversary of the decision that established a woman's right to the procedure.
The day of demonstrations against the court's 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade began with a Mass and rally attended by Catholic bishops and a crowd of about 15,000, mostly teenagers.
President Bush called in a brief statement, telling anti-abortion marchers they were gathered for "a noble cause."
"The right to life does not come from government, it comes from the creator of life," the president said from Roswell, N.M., where he was wrapping up a two-day trip.
A smaller group of abortion-rights activists said it largely focused on lobbying on Capitol Hill for legislation to reverse limits on reproductive freedom imposed since 1973.
Those activists planned a march for April 25. "Anti-choice zealots want to impose their views and theology on the rest of us, and that's just not right," said Gloria Feldt, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

See how the leftist media promotes "the big lie"?
The crowd was estimated to be as much as 300,000. But they bury this article inside the paper, and try to diminish the impact.

This is a wake-up call that Pro-lifers who want to influence public policy need to contact their legislators directly before doing public demonstrations. I wonder if it would be best to block the entrances to liberal news media outlets with the protests. Maybe that way the protest would get reported. Of course in a bad, biased, way, but still reported.

Rockefeller Center would be the easiest to do. Just have a couple hundred people show up and hold up Respect Life signs behind Katie when she comes out. If the cameras cut away, just chant something inocuous, like "respect Life" for thirty seconds or so then stop. Nothing disruptive.

We must have some form of costumes for this if we do it so they will at least consider showing us on camera. Even all the same T-shirt would do. Let's think on it and maybe do it for the big celebrate-abortion day coming up.
