Christendom College leads the 2012 March for Life...

and don't their shining faces remind you of the occupests?  /sarc

On January 23, the entire student body of Christendom College, including members of the faculty and staff, led the 39th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.

There were an estimated half million people marching and the MSM said zip.  





Who is Nellie Gray?

From Wiki:

Nellie Gray is an American pro-life activist, who founded the annual March for Life, beginning in 1974, following the Supreme Court ruling, Roe v Wade, which decriminalized abortion the previous year.

A native of Texas and a Roman Catholic convert, Miss Gray served as a corporal in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II. She later earned a bachelor's degree in business and a master's in economics. 

She was an employee of the federal government for almost three decades, at the Departments of State and Labor. After attending Georgetown University Law School, she became a practicing lawyer. After Roe v Wade, she retired from her professional life and became a pro-life activist, beginning with the March for Life.

Matt, over at St. Blogustine, has a wonderful photo essay from the march - and we thank him 

2012 March for Life.  Cold and wet but determined.

Allen West speaks at the March for Life...

you know - that march estimated to be a half of million people.  The one the MSM was completely silent about.

Over 400,000 March For Life In Washington DC...

and the MSM prints almost nothing.

Allow me to repeat - over FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND peaceful people gather together in Washington, DC to pray and march for an end to abortion and no says a thing.  And they call themselves news reporters?

Nice Deb has pics and videos - and we thank her.

Obama on anniversary of Roe v Wade

the most pro-death president in the history of this country said: 

“And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

 What in hell does that mean?  How is a woman aborting a live baby ensuring equal rights with men?  Are men planning on having abortions, too?  How does abortion guarantee some sort of "opportunity?"   Do women get up every day and "dream" about an abortion? 

This is a typical meaningless sentence chock full of Pavlovian words guaranteed to make a loony leftie drool with self-righteousness.    

And how about the equal rights of the men who don't want their child aborted?  Oh, wait - they don't have any rights.

Survivor of abortion speaks...

and does it very well.

However, the newscaster (bless her little heart), said "very" unique not once, not twice, but three times.  Honey, there is no such thing as "very" unique.

Today is the March for Life in Washington, DC.  News outlets?  Crickets chirping...

March for Life Washington, DC...

January 23, 2012

Last year, it was estimated that 400,000 people gathered in Washington, DC to proclaim the right to life.  I have a feeling that tomorrow's attendance will break all records.  These hearty travelers from all corners of the country will attend 3 days of activities, beginning yesterday.  They will attend Masses and church services and pray together.  Tomorrow they will march in unison for the stopping of the killing of innocent lives.  They will not break windows, throw objects at police officers, or curse at bystanders.  They will leave the Washington Mall spotless and unharmed.

Speaker of the House John Boehner will deliver opening remarks at the 39th annual March for Life in Washington on Monday, January 23, 2012.

“Respect for life has never been a political position for me: it’s who I am, and it’s who we are as a people,” Congressman Boehner said. “The cause of life endures in large part due to the vigilance of the American people, especially those who, led by Nellie Gray, march and pray in our nation’s capital each year at this time. It will be a great honor to address the March for Life as Speaker of the House and leader of its bipartisan pro-life majority.”

In San Francisco on Friday, a few hundred occupests threw Bibles and rocks at the police. They broke windows of businesses, illegally entered into an abandoned hotel, and blocked traffic, which hampered hard-working tax-paying citizens who were going about their daily tasks.  Their voices joined together to spew hatred and vileness.  In all, there were 23 arrests and two police officers injured. 

In Washington, D.C., 11 people forced confrontations with police.  They were arrested on the steps of the Supreme Court House and on the plaza, while another person was arrested inside the courthouse for unlawful entry.   In every city that had a demonstration on Friday, the numbers were low, but the destruction, mess, and mayhem was high.  source  

This is what our president stands behind. 

Any questions? 

Quote of the Day

From: Tom McLaughlin

Borrowing, Abortion, Obama

[...]There's a critical mass of Americans that won’t take responsibility for the human life it conceives and it loves Barack Obama. It’s made up of men whose view of sex is “Slam, bam, thank you m’am. Oh, you're pregnant? Here’s $500 for an abortion.” It’s made up of women who would sacrifice their own children in the name of “liberation.” These are the Americans who would continue borrowing indiscriminately from the future to keep their unsustainable benefits flowing as long as possible. Obama helps them all feel good about themselves. They voted him into the White House and they will again unless an opponent emerges who can persuade them to take a long, honest look at themselves.  read the entire article
