A couple of links:
\nThere’s a lot of coverage of the March for Life yesterday, and the newshounds among you are keeping track. Just a couple that you might have missed:
\nBarbara Curtis of MommyLife <\/a>has a great, great set of photos of the March <\/a>– really comprehensive, long shots and portraits, with a lot of captions. Go take a look. (And don’t forget the American Papist<\/a>)
\nAt the America <\/em>blog, Michael Sean Winter reflects on politicians and the March.<\/a>
\n(One of Barbara’s photos, by the way, is of a poster depicting Ron Paul as a doctor (which he is) rescuing Baby America….There. That made you go look.)<\/a>
\nDawn Eden links to reports of a blessing of a PP abortion facility by three members of the clergy\u00a0in Schenectady<\/a>
\nAt Yale, the Reproductive Rights Action league celebrated 35 years of Roe <\/em>with demonstrations and discussions of what an abortion is, facilitated by members of Medical Students for Choice. Creative Minority Report reports – and I’ll just send you there for the account, since the original report in the Yale Daily News has been taken offline, but he\u00a0posted the essentials before that happened. <\/a>
\nYou know how abortion rights activitists say “Keep your hands off my body!” ? Back at ya, Medical Students for Choice.
\nFinally, for some relief from the last two links, a piece that is on the Newsweek\/WaPo website from Dr. William Blazek, a physician and <\/em>Jesuit scholastic<\/a>, God bless him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
