Signs of Life

Photos From the March for Life in D.C.

I wasn’t able to attend the March for Life in washington, D.C. this year, but Faith & Family associate editor Lynn Wehner made the trek with one of her daughters.

When she got back, she shared these short inspiring thoughts (along with several photos of the most notable signs she saw—click “read more” to see them):

“Never” is usually such a pessimistic word … not so at this year’s March for Life! …

The promised sleet never materialized.
The sea of pro-life marchers never rested.
The crowd’s joy and energy never fizzled.
This movement will never stop fighting for the dignity of every human being.
And the posters and banners at this year’s March for Life never disappointed.
So many worth noting, but these signs topped the list on our inspirational D.C. trek!

Great photos Lynn!

 

I don’t know where to ask for coverage of something (forgive my ignorance) so I am posting this here, in the pro-life corner.
I just received an email alert from focus on the family about CBS thinking about pulling a pro-life Super Bowl ad because of criticism they are getting. I just sent them (CBS) an email asking why their definition of choice does not include choosing to give life? I think F&F might want to look into this one and put up a blog, a link, etc. to let us all know what is going on and how we can help.

 

I’ll add that never have I seen the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception so wall-to-wall PACKED for the Vigil Mass for Life the night before the March for Life!!

You can read more about the Tim Tebow Superbowl ad on LifeSiteNews:

While you are visiting LifeSiteNews, please also click on the link & sign the petition to “Free the Notre Dame 88” (one of whom is a dear friends of ours—a wonderful, Catholic pro-life gentleman in his late 70s who runs the local pro-life chapter in his county, operates a Catholic radio station, & does weekly sidewalk counseling outside an abortuary in a neighboring state)

I heard from the producers of the video “Thine Eyes” (see the video here)
http://causa-nostrae-laetitiae.blogspot.com/2010/01/setting-record-straight-350000-marched.html
that there were 350.000 this year. It was the biggest crowd I have ever seen, in 30 years of marching, yet the mainstream media says there were elderly people and no young women. Phooey, there were tens if not hundreds of thousands of young women, their eyes shining with hope.
The tide is turning and only one journalist had the guts to mention it (I believe it was the Washington Post).
