March for Life coverage

This year their is an interesting juxtaposition of MLK's birthday and tomorrows walk for life which is the great civil rights movement of today.  Though as bad as segregation was the intentional murder of innocents is so much worse.

Margaret Cabaniss at Inside Catholic was shocked to see an actual sympathetic column from the Washington Post on people involved in the March for Life.  Here is a great quote from it.

Valentine, who is majoring in human life studies at a Catholic college in Ohio, said that every time he and his friends persuade a young woman not to have an abortion, they throw her a baby shower to make sure she and the newborn start out with the necessities.

He noted that the antiabortion movement is becoming predominantly youthful while the abortion rights movement is aging. "This conference shows that the youth are not the future of the pro-life movement," he said. "We are the movement." 

Dawn Eden has a wonderful story an a Supreme Irony on someone involved in the March for Life.

Gerald at the Cafeteria is Closed has some good pictures of the San Francisco Walk for Life here and here.

American Papist who will be at the march will be maintaining constant coverage of the even.

In other news a speech by abortionist Alberto Hodari, captured on video and posted on YouTube and the Students for Life of America Web site  includes this:

"I'm not joking. I believed because it was new, we used to let the boyfriend or husbands come into the room when we were doing the abortion. It was that they heard that Caesarian section or doctors allowed husbands in the delivery room. When I came to America, nowhere. They wouldn't even let me go see my wife deliver a baby and I was a doctor. 'Now you, stay outside.' So gradually it became we were very modern we let the boyfriends come in and they all passed out. And more, one sued me because he fall, he broke his tooth, he sued me. And so what do I do now if somebody comes? The state says 'no.' The state doesn't say 'no', but I blame the state. They don't bother to check with the state. My wife says we doctors have a license to lie, and it's true. It's absolutely true. Sometimes you need to lie to a patient about things they want to do or no."

Dawn Eden reports on a Planned Parenthood's worker who in a blog entry mentions covering up the reporting of child rape.  Planned Parenthood is very consistent in this.
