But, grassroots prolifers wanted to march!

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A media watchdog group is accusing ABC News of biased coverage about abortion and the March for Life, where more than 100,000 people gathered to mourn the Roe v. Wade decision allowing abortion. While ABC on Thursday night gave a few seconds of air time to Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark's clarification of his position in favor of abortion, it blacked out any coverage of the March for Life. Instead, ABC's web site featured two articles with a decidedly pro-abortion viewpoint, notes Jessica Anderson of the Media Research Center. "'Christian Terrorists': Anti-Abortionist Calls for Violence, Says...

Both the White House and Congress are controlled by pro-life advocates, pro-life legislation passed by Congress and signed by a president has become law for the...

Why no coverage of the March for Life? 1. Reporters are dramatically “pro-abortion rights.” One 1995 survey by Stanley Rothman and Amy Black found the number at 97 percent. 2. A corollary: the March is (appropriately) held on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, but liberal reporters probably see this interloping holiday protest as the civil rights equivalent of David Duke hosting a march on Martin Luther King’s birthday. How dare they wave their baby signs on Kate Michelman Day! 3. Unlike highly promoted anti-war rallies, pro-life marches show an embarrassingly huge mass of people marching for the wrong side....
