The March has taken place every year since 1974 to protest the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision on Jan. 22, 1973, which legalized abortion. Good news for pro-lifers is that 2009 showed evidence of a turnaround in national sentiment toward tolerance for abortion. Two Gallup polls, one done in May and one done in August, showed higher percentages identifying as "pro-life" than "pro-choice." The opposite had been true in all previous years since Gallup first started doing this survey in 1995. But the bad news is that another year has gone by as our nation allowed more than a million innocent unborn children to be brutally murdered – some 50 million since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. It somehow doesn't compute that we are horrified watching the bloodbath that has occurred in Haiti – the result of the cold, inscrutable hand of nature – yet we are willing to tolerate the ongoing holocaust taking place in our own country, a holocaust perpetrated by conscious human choice. When I wrote about this last year, President Obama was only a few days past his inauguration. He declined the invitation of March for Lifers to address them, an invitation his predecessor accepted each year. He only issued a statement noting the Roe v. Wade decision, saying: "… we are reminded that this decision not only protects women's health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters." So, let's not for a minute lose perspective that this president sees abortion as health care. READ FULL STORY >
