“She constructs that argument that younger generations aren’t as rabidly pro-abortion as older generations because they never grew up in a world where abortion was illegal.”

They are all abortion survivors.

“She constructs that argument that younger generations aren’t as rabidly pro-abortion as older generations because they never grew up in a world where abortion was illegal.” They are all abortion survivors.

A tale of two January 22 gatherings.

About 18-20 times in the past 35 years, I've attended the January 22 March for Life at the Minnesota State Capitol. Even in sub-zero wind chills, I've never seen fewer than 3,000-4,000 pro-lifers there. In some years, especially when January 22 falls on a weekend, I've seen as many as 12,000. All ages are there: grandpas and grandmas, moms and dads, teenagers, toddlers, babes in arms. Christians, Jews, and atheists are there. Republicans and Democrats are there (I often see the latter clustered around their Democrats for Life banner). Thousands of pro-lifers, every year for 35 years. There's absolutely no diminution in the zeal to fight for the cause of life.

What do pro-choicers do on January 22, you ask? Oh, about a couple hundred of them gather in some warm hotel meeting room in St. Paul and wring their hands about the "assaults" on poor, beleaguered Roe v Wade.

Thousands, rallying for life, outside in the cold. A few hundred, rallying for death, inside a warm hotel room.

I think that's good news.
