March for Life? What March?

The media bias is killing me. They report the inauguration for days, using the phrase, "making history" every other sentence, but ignore the huge March for Life that happened yesterday. I agree the inaugurtion deserved every bit of press it got--it was making history, and it was an impressive event--a very happy one for the majority of America. However, yesterday, when around 300,000 people crowded the National Mall protesting abortion, the media hardly sent their photographers. The few stories there are about it downplay the event, saying "scores" of anti-abortionists marched. I had to DIG through major newspapers to find a story about it, when this should have been on the front page.
Every year at this annual March for Life, the president is invited to address the crowd. Last year, President Bush said he was proud to be standing among them, and that, "even the most vulnerable member of the human family is a child of God. You’re here because you know that all life deserves to be protected.”
Quite opposite, Obama wouldn't even come. He thought it would be too insulting to reverse the Mexico City policy with all those pro-lifers outside his office, so he waited until the next day. he's repealing the policy as I type, and now, when our country is trillions of dollars in debt, and in a tragic economy, federal money will help support international family planning organizations that provide abortions. So, in response to the hundreds of thousands of voices outside his office, and knoweldge of 3000 silent voices being aborted each day, he basically promoted abortion by helping it to be done internationally.

I'm so glad we have a president who listens to us, and is already following through in his promise to uphold the Constitution, by entitling everybody life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (Sorry for the sarcasm, I can't help it here!!!)

We can make a difference.
