"And the Reason
I'm Pro-Life is Because…." Part Two of Four By Dave Andrusko
We are now just three days away from the 38th anniversary of a decision that will forever live in infamy: Roe v. Wade. NRLC affiliates are gathering their loyal troops all over the country, often at the state capitals, to commemorate what dissenting Justice Byron White aptly described as "an exercise of raw judicial power." (As an aside, I had completely forgotten that Justice White's powerful remarks appeared in Roe's companion case, Doe v. Bolton, although it applied to both cases. ) We've run stories about three state rallies so far, including one today, and will so over the next week. It is important for all of us to remember that while the annual March for Life next Monday will gather most of the media coverage, not everyone can make it to Washington, DC. My suspicion is that the first priority of many/most of the grassroots activists who make things happen in the states would be to attend their local rallies and marches. Please be sure to share your February issue of National Right to Life News with friends, family, and colleagues. We will cover what takes place both in the states and in our nation's capital. (If you are not a subscriber, call us at 202-626-8828.) Some pro-life organizations are providing a very useful service, posting answers to the question why individuals on their staff are pro-life. I would very much like to run excerpts from our readers why YOU are pro-life. Please send your thoughts to daveandrusko@gmail.com. I know in advance the answers will be as diverse as the men and women, young and old who make up the greatest Movement for social justice of our time. If you need a reason to take a few minutes to write, please read Part One where an abortionist is charged with eight counts of murder. One was a 41-year-old woman, the other seven are babies in the in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy whom abortionist Keith Gosnell is charged with inducing their labor and then "cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," according to the Associated Press. That's the legacy of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Please write me at daveandrusko@gmail.com and talk about "I am pro-life because…." |
