Thomas, who is now in the DC area, has done a considerable amount of work in documenting the pro-life commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.  While living in the DC area was not my cup of tea (traffic and cost of living primarily), I very much miss participating in the Vigil Mass at the National Shrine for the march for life and the march itself.

Again this year, the news coverage presented a very biased picture.  Most of the national media appeared to ignore the various marches throughout the country.  For those who did cover it, one got the sense that there were just as many pro-aborts demonstrating as pro-life.  For example, one station said “thousands on both sides showed up to demonstrate.”  Moreover, the media always seems to give the pro-abort message the majority of their coverage.

One thing that I found very interesting, though it is impossible to say what it means, was that the local Champaign-Urbana news station (CBS affiliate) did one of their on-line polls and asked the question, “Do you think abortion should be legal?”  Given the very liberal university town that this is, I was very surprised to see that 55% said no.  One can only pray that this might soon be the trend nation wide.
