The Washington March for Life has been growing ever year. It is a very impressive series of events that inspires and at times awes participants. Over 350,000 were there last year. Many Canadians take part as well, inspiring them to greater vision for Canadian pro-life activism. See this year’s listing of events. LifeSiteNews will be there again in force and LSN reporter Meaghen Hale will be in San Francisco covering the West Coast Walk for Life.

Today’s excerpt from former Planned Parenthood director Abbey Johnson’s book is something everyone should read - a very honest accounting of undeniable reality, which her former employers sadly continue to deny. That is what the abortion industry is all about - hard core denial and lies.

The liberal political establishment is exploiting the Arizona shooting tragedy to an extreme. The freedom to publicly express strong opinions, an essential part of democracy, is being trashed as being responsible for the actions of a mentally very unstable person whose real motives for the shooting are still not known. Pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom, traditional values Americans are the real target of the shamelessly orchestrated frenzy. The left clearly believes that only they have the right to publicly express anger about objectionable statements and actions by public persons.

One thing is certain, Giffords is not the first madman to irrationally shoot up a group of people in the United States. There have been a good number of mass murderers and crazy assassins in the United States long before Sarah Palin, the Tea Party or Fox News were ever heard of. I found the very moving Fox interview with the father of the 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, who was killed by Giffords, to be especially helpful in putting this terrible event in proper context.

The US has only to look to Canada to see how the expansion of political homosexual ideology in law will lead to more and more removal of traditional religious and conscience freedoms.

We have been writing about the dangers and wrongs of In Vitro Fertilization for years while the rest of the world and even most religious leaders yawned. If anything we were too mild in our reporting. Hilary White tells us more about this evil commodification of tiny humans industry.
