Undauntedly they ignored the winter storm on the East Coast, the cold,
freezing temperatures, and they went to Washington. Hundreds of thousands of
them marched, mostly young people, including many students. Their cause? They
want to protect the lives of beautiful, innocent, helpless babies. Have we
arrived at a point where young people have to teach us how to be humane? Where
are the rest of us? Is it the purity and clear thinking of youth who ONLY
can see through propaganda, falsehoods, and distortions to show us the way?
And where was the media? Nowhere is there an example of a biased media than the purposeful failure to cover major relevant news each year concerning the annual March for Life in Washington. The media who are supposed to record and present the news to the American people in a factual manner, the very purpose of the profession of journalism, and the reason / responsibility for the inclusion of "freedom of the press" in the United States Constitution. Not only is the annual event essentially ignored and downplayed....just as importantly the trend is not reported. The trend is that more and more people are pro-life, and the startling trend is that young people in our country are significantly more pro-life. This is major, major news. Yet it is well known that the media has arrived at a point where they will report as headline front page news a handful of people gathered on a street corner for a cause they approve of...yet ignore hundreds of thousands of people marching in Washington who represent the pro-life cause. This is not journalism; it is anti-news at the highest level.

Yet at the same time the media will build up as heroes such people as Wendy
Davis, a state senator from Texas, who filibustered a bill that would prohibit
abortions after 20 weeks. They will build up as a hero New York Governor, Andrew
Cuomo, who wants to push legislation that would allow unrestricted abortions,
without parental notification in regard to young girls, up to and including 9
months of pregnancy. Then he turns around and calls those who disagree with him
as "extremists". Still further, the media will glorify and hide the truth on
organizations such as Planned Parenthood, who perform over 360,000 abortions a
year while at the same time collecting $542 million in taxpayers money. (Fiscal
2012).
Even before modern methods such as ultrasound and other technological
instrumentaion, medical science proved the existence of life within the womb of
a pregnant woman. The evidence is irrefutable. Yet we are allowing the taking of
that precious life through brutal, inhumane procedures at the rate of over a
thousand times per day in the United States alone....56 million lives since Roe
vs. Wade.
How can any of us sleep at night knowing that this is happening in our
country? How can the media live with themselves for not reporting the truth and
facts, and actually covering up the taking of human life? The youth in our country,
in significantly increasing numbers, are crying out, trying to show us the way.
This message should not be covered up, but reported as a headline issue in every
form of media outlet throughout our country.
I firmly believe that all of us some day will be asked what we did to
protect human life. What will your answer be?
