(Feel free to delete the second, redundant response...)<br /><br />Interestingly, it really WAS just 1000 people total that were polled, just not all in some pro-abortion bastion. Supposedly it's all very scientific and accurate, but I have my doubts...<br /><br />Mariedixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-34766229071181243312013-01-28T21:16:37.348-05:002013-01-28T21:16:37.348-05:00Hi Cam, I never post anything, but your comment ab...Hi Cam, I never post anything, but your comment about Obama and gun control reminded me of a promo ad I saw recently. It is from Blackstone Films. Did you get a chance to see it? If not here is the web address.<br /><br />http://www.blackstonefilms.org/promos/a-nation-rises/a-nation-rises.html <br /><br />I love how they use Obama's own words to prove how precious life really is. Just thought you might like it.

And it's good to know that it was out there somewhere (and total side note, I've been meaning to email you for the past week!). <br /><br />I keep hoping that the 70% number was somehow skewed in some way. Like, they called 1000 people in San Francisco (okay, not likely, I know). Just last year it was around 60% saying they were prolife... I guess the election really was that sickening... sigh...

NBC Nightly News had a story, and it was on any number of websites, as well (from an original AP story.) Of course, most stories pointed out the shift this past year towards the pro-abortion position shown by most polls. This can be attributed to a couple of Republicans making statement they should have known would be used to make pro-lifer look Neanderthal, and the large numbers of Latinos and African-Americans who have apparently (for now, at least) adopted the pro-abortion stance of the Democratic party. I think this could, if we work hard, be a temporarily glitch, if Republicans stop acting "stupid", to quote Bobby Jindal (but don't get me started on him.)<br /><br />Our local stations covered it well; there are numerous buses from the archdiocese and our Catholic H.S. that go up every year and have for decades.<br /><br />Whether the "mainstream media" covers it or not, we have the "new media" at our disposal - Twitter, Facebook, blogs... We also have God and science in our corner, and the clear proof offered by ultrasounds. We will get there.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />Mariedixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-79954557085649164852013-01-28T16:38:25.250-05:002013-01-28T16:38:25.250-05:00I watched specifically for coverage and NBC Nightl...I watched specifically for coverage and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams had a story, speaking of the "thousands" (more like hundreds of thousands) of people marching. There may have been other televised coverage, but I only watched NBC that evening.<br /><br />Several of the local TV stations, including my husband's, had stories on the 400 kids from the archdiocese (180 of them from our Catholic high school) who - as they do every year - rode buses up to the March. <br /><br />I went to numerous websites and most of them had a fairly long story which, I believe, originated with the AP. <br /><br />Of course, most of the national stories included the recent polls indicating that 70% of people do not want Roe v Wade overturned, or that the percentage of people who feel abortion should be legal in "all" or "most" circumstances has increased during the past year.<br /><br />Even Gallup has shown a change - and not for the better - during this past 6 months or so. I think that this past election season had an impact, with a couple of Republicans saying things they should have known would be used against them to make pro-lifers look Neanderthal. Also, there is speculation that Latinos and African-Americans, who voted Democratic in large numbers, have adopted the "values" and positions of the Democratic party, which -as we all know - is decidedly pro-abortion. <br /><br />I think that there is still plenty of work to do. As more and more young people identify with no religion, that will be a tough nut to crack. On the other hand, we all saw the numerous children, teens and young adults on the March; there is hope, and we have God, science and ultrasound pictures on our side. <br /><br />Also - whether network TV news covers the March will be less and less significant, as more and more people get their news from the Internet and social media. We must use this "new media" to our advantage<br /><br />God bless!<br /><br />Mariedixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-41988477060850343992013-01-28T13:26:27.000-05:002013-01-28T13:26:27.000-05:00You almost nailed my view of the president's t...You almost nailed my view of the president's thoughts on the matter. I think he's trying to keep our children safe from being killed by strangers. His view is: "Only a mother should have the right to kill her children."<br /><br />What a guy.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-40662522272270386362013-01-28T12:38:09.208-05:002013-01-28T12:38:09.208-05:00I saw the March covered on the national news (CBS,...I saw the March covered on the national news (CBS, I think) on Friday evening.
