Another Huge Pro Life March Ignored My Media (WHY)

Bad Habit has a good point on this at SOMETIMES THE SILENCE IS DEADENING…

Get Religion looks at this today at Abortion issue will not die soon

In that piece a good side point was also made:

Simply stated, most editors argue that the march isn’t a major story, no matter how many people show up, because it takes place year after year after year. Thousands of young Catholics arrive on school buses. Evangelicals arrive on church buses. The usual suspects preach to the same choir (again, I am speaking in the voice of the generic mainstream editor). If pro-lifers want to be on A1, then they need to do something different. No, holding a “Virtual March For Life” with thousands of online avatars is not sexy enough for A1, hit movie or no hit movie.

Well I guess that is true. I mean D.C. sees so many of the marches that well it is just part of the normal background. Still it deserves more coverage than it is getting especially since it appears that abortion was a major issue that played a part in possibly dooming the Health Care Bill.
