TODAY'S NEWS & VIEWS


"Today's News & Views" is an exciting daily feature, a welcome addition to the wealth of material found on the National Right to Life's web page.  "Today's News & Views" is written in a style that appeals not only to committed pro-lifers but to anyone with an open mind on the greatest social justice issue of our day: abortion.  "Today's News & Views" will cover the waterfront.  One day, the web surfer will find a commentary on a recent prime-time television program, the next day a book review, the day after that notice of a new pro-life video, the day after that added details that go beyond that found in stories written for the National Right to Life News--"the right to life newspaper of record."  The goal is to make the contents of "Today's News & Views" so interesting that visitors will bookmark the page [www.nrlc.org] and make visits a regular part of their day.
