2014 March for Life

Despite bitter cold temperatures and a government shut down by snow, thousands of pro-lifers gathered to March for Life this week in Washington DC.


Politico has a photo gallery, which shows large numbers of young people participating this year, not so surprising given Americans' trend toward life over abortion.

Michael Barone looks at the controversy and confusion that began with the Roe v. Wade decision, and Brit Hume offered this eloquent and insightful assessment on the moral case for defending life:




Kathryn Jean Lopez reports that, according to the new Marist poll, "an overwhelming number of Americans support restrictions on abortion."
  • 74% favor a ban on abortions after 20 weeks except to save the life of the mother; 
  • 53% believe life begins at conception; 
  • 62% think abortion is morally wrong; 
  • 80% support parental notification before a minor can obtain an abortion; 
  • 79% support a 24-hour waiting period prior to having an abortion; 
  • 76% oppose allowing abortions to be performed by non-doctors; 
  • 62% want to change laws to allow for some restrictions on abortion; 
  • 55% — including 6 in 10 Millennials — want continued debate on the abortion issue.
