News Of Inside the Studio
by American Phoenix | January 29, 2010
Rick Sanchez apparently hasn’t set foot outside of the studio. That’s a rather poor quality in a newsman.
Had he been outside of the studio, he might have noticed this:
He might have noticed the overwhelming numbers that continue to favor the pro-life cause. But as my friend Moonage opines,
Most of the polarization in this country is illustrated by CNN’s inability to report anything positive on a political position they can’t support. They can’t have two sides to any issue. That inability to accept what they don’t like is the problem in this country right now.
It’s an inability to deal with the truth - whether it be the truth that more people showed up in support of life, or whether it be the truth that abortion kills a human person. They simply can’t handle the truth. And that’s why I - and countless others - stopped watching CNN years ago.
I wasn’t at the Washington, DC March for Life, at which some 300,000 people walked. But I was at the San Francisco, CA Walk for Life West Coast. It has been reported that there were approximately 32,000 to 35,000 people at the San Francisco walk, while there were about 200 (I saw even less than that) pro-abortion protesters.
As usual, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were there with greasepainted faces streaked and runny from the rain. They really are a pathetic and tired old bunch, pushing condoms in our faces as if sex was the only thing worth living for.
There was a protester on a bicyle yelling “spaghetti brains” at the many young people in the march, and telling them to “grow up”. I heard not a single walker respond to his taunts. Just who was the “grown up”? And also a small band of protesters chanting “Keep your rosaries off our ovaries.” It’s not about rosaries - many of the marchers were Protestants who don’t pray the Rosary. Doubtless there were walkers of no particular faith who are nevertheless informed solely by science and reason that an unborn baby is a human being. It’s not about ovaries either, since the subject of concern - a human person with all of his or her genetic material - is already implanted in the uterus and well past the ovaries.
We walked on, unperturbed, in a line that must have stretched a solid mile. Along the way there was prayer, often there was music, and sometimes there was chanting, but it was never violent. We all wound up at the Marina Green, where there was food, music and many smiles - for at last, the sun had come out.
