Networks Covered Baby Panda Six Times More than March for Life Is it too much to ask for Americans to get their news from serious adults? Yes, there’s always been bias in media reporting, but it’s hard to imagine journalists who once crossed Europe with Patton cooing “Pandas are magic” into the camera while a real story of genocide is being told in the streets.
But that’s where we are. On Wednesday, hundreds of thousands braved freezing temperatures to join the 41st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. to protest and commemorate the 55 million human babies who have been legally killed since 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/networks-covered-baby-panda-six-times-more-than-march-for-life/
Wendy Davis Backers Caught on Tape Making Fun of Greg Abbott for Being ParalyzedA new undercover videotape may spell further doom for the campaign of Wendy Davis, the pro-abortion candidate for governor in Texas whose sole claim to fame is having filibustered against a bill to ban late-term abortions.
The tape has the Davis campaign mocking her pro-life opponent, Greg Abbott, for being paralyzed. This is the second time the Davis campaign has come under criticism for mocking Abbott’s disability. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/wendy-davis-staff-caught-on-tape-making-fun-of-greg-abbott-for-being-paralyzed/
11 Inspiring Signs From the March for LifeThis year, hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers gathered for the March for Life held in Washington, D.C. every year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Here are 11 of the most inspiring signs at the March:
Every year, a significant portion of the Marchers are teens and young adults, many of whom come with their college classmates. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/11-inspiring-signs-from-the-march-for-life/

Why Pro-Lifers Braved the Cold to Attend the March for Life
Temperatures were frigidly low, but spirits were uncompromisingly high today at the March for Life in Washington, DC.
Hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers from across the country arrived at the National Mall on this 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade to defend the right to life of unborn children – taking their feet and their message all the way to the Supreme Court. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/why-pro-lifers-braved-the-cold-to-attend-the-march-for-life/

MSNBC Shows Six Abortion Advocates and Zero Pro-Lifers on Roe v. Wade Anniversary The annual March for Life took place yesterday in our nation’s capital, and MSNBC marked the occasion by inviting a slew of pro-choice guests onto its daytime programming to slime the pro-life movement without giving any pro-lifers a chance to respond. Between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, MSNBC featured six pro-choice guests and zero pro-life guests.
During the 11 a.m. hour of MSNBC Live, host Brian Shactman brought on Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, to offer her predictable insight on the march and abortion rights in general. Shactman began by attempting to marginalize the march — attended by tens of thousands of mostly young people — asking, “I mean, what’s the impact of the March for Life? Does it have one?” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/msnbc-shows-six-abortion-advocates-and-zero-pro-lifers-on-roe-v-wade-anniversary/
Religious Group’s Training Event Teaches Clergy to Promote AbortionA pro-abortion religious group in Minnesota is putting on a training seminar to teach clergy how to support women’s abortions. While Biblical principles fully affirm the worth and dignity of human life, the Minnesota Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice apparently thinks the Bible instructs clergy to promote abortion.
godisprolife2“Clergy & faith leaders know that the lives of women & families in our congregations are often complex & challenging, especially around issues of reproductive health and loss,” a promotional for the event says. “Let MNRCRC equip you to be present with your people on these tender pastoral care issues.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/religious-groups-training-event-teaches-clergy-to-promote-abortion/
Activist: People Oppose Abortion Because “Their Sex Lives Are So Miserable”One of the derogatory statements some abortion activists say about pro-lifers is that somehow they oppose abortion because they hate sex. Yet, at the same time, they also condemn many pro-life people who decide to have large families.
The pro-abortion side sometimes has a hard time with science and facts but it doesn’t take rocket scientist that you can’t blast pro-lifers for hating sex and then also criticize some pro-life couples for having large families. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/activist-people-oppose-abortion-because-their-sex-lives-are-so-miserable/

Comedian Sarah Silverman: Banning Abortion Same as Banning Masturbation Comedian Sarah Sivlerman is no stranger to say crazy things. Last year she urged women to get “quickie abortions” in case Roe v. Wade was overturned. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/comedian-sarah-silverman-banning-abortion-same-as-banning-masturbation/
NARAL President: Having an Abortion is “What Religious Liberty” is About During a debate with Lila Rose on CNN’s Crossfire last night, NARAL president Ilyse Hogue made an outlandish claim. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/naral-president-having-an-abortion-is-what-religious-liberty-is-about/
Pro-Life Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers Will Deliver State of the Union Response Pro-Life Congresswoman and new mom Cathy McMorris Rodgers will deliver the State of the Union response on Tuesday night. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/pro-life-rep-cathy-mcmorris-rodgers-will-deliver-state-of-the-union-response/

Mom Gives Birth to Baby on a Sled Heading to Hospital During Snowstorm This wasn’t the kind of birth Shirley Bonanni was expecting, but then she wasn’t expecting to be on a sled on the way to the hospital either during a heavy snowstorm. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/mom-gives-birth-to-baby-on-a-sled-heading-to-hospital-during-snowstorm/
Cuomo’s Banishment of Pro-lifers Shows Abortion Is on Its Deathbed In Governor Cuomo’s defense, he isn’t the first pro-abortion leader to throw up his hands in frustration at the advance of the pro-life cause and simply wish we’d go away. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/01/23/cuomos-banishment-of-pro-lifers-shows-abortion-is-on-its-deathbed/
