A couple of links:
There’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:
Barbara Curtis of MommyLife has a great, great set of photos of the March - really comprehensive, long shots and portraits, with a lot of captions. Go take a look. (And don’t forget the American Papist)
At the America blog, Michael Sean Winter reflects on politicians and the March.
(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.)
At Yale, the Reproductive Rights Action league celebrated 35 years of Roe 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 posted the essentials before that happened.
You know how abortion rights activitists say “Keep your hands off my body!” ? Back at ya, Medical Students for Choice.
Finally, for some relief from the last two links, a piece that is on the Newsweek/WaPo website from Dr. William Blazek, a physician and Jesuit scholastic, God bless him.
The disturbing quotes from that Yale prochoice group reminded me that even in the U.K., where opposition to abortion is not nearly so prevalent as in the USA, physicians avoid performing abortions. There were some news pieces awhile ago on how the British National Health Services was having trouble finding enough docs willing to do abortions.
The original post in Yale Daily News was taken offline? Can anyone think of a reason?
The America blog is not very lenient about allowing pro-life comments. They are sometimes erased.
Michael Sean Winters, for example, is an active dissenter on the typical issues.
I’ll have to look at home because Barbara Curtis’s blog has been blocked by SSA as hate speech.

I went to Yale. This is only a sample of the whole scene. Gay dances and events are advertised with pornographic posters. Sex Week features how-tos for practices you don’t even want to know about. Condoms and “dental dams” are everywhere. Dorm bathrooms are co-ed.
I don’t know the woman’s individual background, but it is a tragic irony that “Khoury,” the last name of one of the medical students, is Arabic for “priest. It is a common surname among Arab Christians, especially the Lebanese.
Let us pray that through the mercy of God her heart may be changed.
