The 33rd annual March for Life was a smashing success. Apart from crazed feminists angrily waving coat hangers at Catholic priests and shouting, "Bigots go home," as thousands of students from across the country marched down Constitution Avenue, holding posters depicting sonogram images of pre-born humans, the event was perhaps the most moving event one has ever seen. Monday’s demonstration, largely comprised of students of all races and religions, as well as men and women, old and young, clergy of all denominations, and children, testified to the fact that Eleanor Smeal, former president of the extremist group Feminist Majority,...

For Lillie Epps, one of the few African-American leaders in the anti-abortion movement, it was a telling moment. Epps was among top anti-abortion advocates who had gathered in the Oval Office of the White House last year to watch President George W. Bush sign into law a bill banning so-called "partial-birth" abortions. "When he signed the bill, there were some other African-Americans in the room," recalled Epps, 52. But when it came time for publicity photographs, some were ushered out, including all of the black leaders. "That sends a message that it's really not an African-American issue," said Epps, of...

Proclamation by the President of the United States of America Our Nation was founded on the belief that every human being has rights, dignity, and value. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we underscore our commitment to building a culture of life where all individuals are welcomed in life and protected in law. America is making great strides in our efforts to protect human life.

On January 8, 2006, I attended the Justice Sunday III conference at Greater Exodus Baptist Church, a predominantly black church in Philadelphia. Reverend Herbert Lusk preached passionately against abortion and called it murder. Today, I will attend the Blogs4Life Conference, then head to the National Mall for the March for Life rally. I hope to see a large number of the kind of people who nodded in agreement with Rev. Lusk’s sermon. Black women are three times as likely to have abortions as their white counterparts. Blacks and Hispanics are about 25 percent of the population, yet they account for...

THE PRESIDENT: Nellie, thank you very much. I appreciate the invitation to speak. I'm calling from Manhattan, Kansas. (Applause.) Sounds like you got some good folks from Kansas there. (Applause.)

These...

It is well-known that the left-wing mainstream media slants its coverage of the annual March for Life. At least 100,000 people take part in the pro-life demonstration every year. However, the press accounts of the March always describes the crowd size in the "tens of thousands." This year, two crowd size estimations are given in the article Protesters See Mood Shift Against 'Roe', by Michelle Boorstein of the Washington Post. It cites, "Stephen G. Peroutka, chairman of the National Pro-Life Action Center, one of the event's sponsors, estimated the crowd size at 225,000 to 250,000 people, while D.C. police gave...

WASHINGTON — President Bush thanked abortion opponents Monday for helping to defend his "culture of life" agenda and for pursuing "a noble cause" that he hopes will persuade other Americans to the "rightness" of their effort. "You believe, as I do, that every human life has value, that the strong have a duty to protect the weak, and that the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence apply to everyone, not just to those considered healthy or wanted or convenient," Bush said by telephone to demonstrators gathered in Downtown Washington before a march to Capitol Hill. "These principles call us...

I wanted to post some pictures from today's (well, technically yesterday's) 'March for Life' in DC. Just before the March began... Here is some evidence that Alito's Legacy is alive and well at Princeton!

So many families...

Incredibly, this is only a very small portion of the march: Two of the photographers interviewing some Franciscans. (Prolifers: The Force IS With Them.) Supposedly, this is a very large rosary. I think someone came up with a great way of keeping their group together: The march's lead group At that age, it's easy to like a media ham: Two of the web site's creators/photographers, Mike and his very lovely girlfriend, Jessica:Let's pray some day there are this many people from Ave Maria University on the INSIDE of the Supreme Court building!: Another photographer/creator of the web site.
