Thirty-one years later

On thursday tens of thousands of people turned out in Washington, DC, for the annual March for Life on the 31st anniversary of the US Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion on demand, as reported here: "Under the Radar: Abortion and its discontents." Predictably perhaps, the major news services all but ignored the event. A google search reveals that, with a few exceptions, only pro-life organizations covered the event. More heartening was the large presence of young people under 25, who are increasingly opposed to abortion, according to recent opinion polls.
