39th Annual March for Life
Nearly Half a Million Strong March Past Reporters Who Didn’t Report the 39th Annual March for Life
On Monday, January 23, 2012, in rain and freezing temperatures, crowds of nearly 500,000 pro-life supporters marched through the streets of Washington, D.C., in the Nation’s Capitol. Every year, the March for Life draws massive crowds on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. However, the media missed it, again! The annual March for Life has occurred every year since 1974 with marchers numbering 100,000 or more strong every year since 1977! With attendance numbers consistently that high, you would think major media outlets would cover such an event. However, major media outlets have largely ignored and neglected to mention it at all during the past five years.
Media sources that covered the March for Life, ran stories that seemed to focus on the March for Life opposition instead of on the marchers for life: “Thousands March to Protest Roe.” Americans remain strongly divided on abortion. A Gallup Poll last year showed that 49% of respondents identified themselves as “pro-choice,” while 45% called themselves “pro-life.” President of NARAL Pro-Choice America said in a statement that politicians supporting the March for Life were ignoring more pressing issues. “Anti-choice politicians and their allies promised to focus on creating jobs, yet they are attacking a woman’s right to choose at near-record levels,” Nancy Keenan said.
