"I was stunned when I saw on the ultrasound a tiny, living creature spinning around in my womb. Tap-dancing, I think. Waving its tiny arms around and trying to suck its thumb. I could have sworn I heard it laughing."

This past Wednesday, February 6, 2008, ABC got me suckered me in!
I was listening to the radio when normal programming was interrupted for a "Special News Bulletin." What was so special?
Heath Ledgers autopsy results. As I listened to the results of Mr. Ledger's autopsy I thought back to the news coverage of his admittedly untimely death on January 22nd. The news of the death of one man was all over the Internet, TV, radio, newspapers and blogs. The death of one man was the lead or headline story for most of these news outlets or networks.
On the same day 200 miles south of New York City in Washington D.C., thousands gathered to commemorate the death of between 38 and 40 MILLION souls.
Heath Ledger died on the same day thousands met to remember the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. For the most part, TV, radio, the Internet and newspapers ignored the 38 or so MILLION.
One man versus 38 MILLION, that’s 38,000,000. THIRTY-EIGHT MILLION!
"Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
Ronald Reagan
