And this came all the way from China!!

WASHINGTON – The pro-life movement has a new face and it’s younger and ready to challenge abortion rights activists.

A significantly large number of young adults were among the tens of thousands of pro-lifers who trekked out in the cold and muddy streets towards the U.S. Capitol on Monday to protest against the Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize abortion 34 years ago in the Roe v. Wade case.

Speakers at the annual March for Life rally at the National Mall, one of the nation’s largest pro-life events, repeatedly praised in excitement the large turn out of young adults

Snip...

Bobby Schindler, the brother of Terry Schindler Schiavo, also spoke at the March for Life event about euthanasia.

I can go along with being called anti-abortion if they would call themselves pro murder. That'll be the day. But still, some decent coverage...

"Bloggers have an audience, bloggers are plugged in," said Peter A. Samuelson, president of the Americans United For Life, before about 40 people at the second annual Blogs4Life conference Monday. "We don't need a Ph.D. to know fetuses and embryos are part of our community."

The conference, hosted by the Family Research Council to coincide with the 34th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe. v. Wade decision legalizing abortion and the March for Life rally, had 80 registered guests and more than 300 watching from a live webcast.

Council President Tony Perkins said, "We're glad to add this to our arsenal of tools."

Guests, including Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Terry Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, talked about their pro-life agenda, which they said includes not only abortion rights but also embryonic stem cells and persons living with disabilities.

Blogger Jill Stanek told the crowd they could use the Internet to bypass the mainstream media, which she said didn't give the issue enough coverage. "I'm tired of begging MSM to listen to me, I'm going to blog on this today," she added.

Stanek showed slides and examples from her Web site to the attentive audience, highlighting pictures and sound clips that garnered a lot of attention.

Posting things online also gives viewers a chance to see the "hate of the other side" when they respond to posts, Stanek added.

>> An African American church leader shared how the African community has especially suffered from abortion. Pastor Luke J. Robinson of Quinn Chapel AME Church in Frederick, Md., said that over 500,000 babies were aborted last year in the African community– a number of unborn lives that could have populated the whole city of Frederick, Robinson pointed out.

500,000 babies would fill ten Fredericks. They would populate a city bigger than Atlanta, Cleveland, Kansas City or New Orleans, and almost as big as Boston, Denver, Milwaukee, Seattle or Washington, D.C.
