Many of you may already have seen LifeSiteNews’ picture of the Snow Altar on the Pennsylvania Tpk., but if only a few more get to see it who otherwise might not have, it is worth running! Link is snow mass The priest is Father Patrick Behm (plus other con-celebrants.) I heard him on EWTN this morning. He made a point of saying that he’d called his bishop and cleared it with him. “Father Pat” also said this happened at mile marker 132.9 so, just for the sake of curiosity, I looked up Psalm 132; verse 9 and here is what it says:
“Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Thy saints shout for joy!
“Over 800,000 people gathering in Washington, completely ignored by the media.” This is a national disgrace. What was just as bad was Pres. Obama’s response to the March: Paraphrasing: ” I will continue to support a Woman’s Right to Health Care.” Totally clueless and absolutely insulting to millions of Christians Nationwide!!
The problem is the media is completely leftist, ultra-liberal. They support a woman’s right to choose and gay marriage (abortion and gay marriage) -two issues that were made legal in an unconstitutional way.
Obama’s statement,”I will continue to support a Woman’s Right to Healthcare” doesn’t address the issue of abortion. (What about the healthcare of the Woman to be in utero? Or what about the healthcare of the Man to be in utero?).
The real problem is women, and men, that don’t take responsibility for themselves as well as living a life of promiscuity.
In most cases, it’s a multi-generational problem, and most of these problems with promiscuity, and even lawlessness, have to do with a lack of good family structure and guidance. One of the leading factors is having no father or father figure present and invested in their children. Next to that, is having no mother or mother figure present and invested in their children.
I have witnessed disastrous results when both parents are completely absorbed in their professional and social life, to the exclusion of quality time spent with their children. I have witnessed the same when a single mother, or single father, is taken up with finding a date or suitable mate to the exclusion of quality time spent with their children. Parenting is the most important job someone can have and it is priceless!
If there is both a mother and father present, they both need to be involved.
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”
Poor family interaction and guidance is probably responsible for the lack of core values involving sexuality and responsibility, and Godly way of living, for the extreme leftist, ultra-liberals who think “anything goes,” who endorse promiscuity, abortion, gay marriage, etc.
The 800k number is greatly exaggerated and unbefitting to use.
What is the best number to use for Washington this year? What year was the highest and how many were there then? What is the best number to use this year, taking all the Marches for Life into account?
What about Wikipedia’s numbers?
“Between 2003 and 2009, the march had an attendance of around 250,000,[2] but this number has since increased. The 2011 and 2012 marches drew an estimated 400,000 each, the 2013 march drew an estimated 650,000.[3][4] An estimated 800,000 people attended the 2015 march.[citation needed]” Maybe the Twilight Zone humor referred to 2015?
Here is a good article to depict what happened at the March for Life 2016 and the courageous, counter-actions of Christians in the face of Pro-Life opposition and shouts of profanity.

There is a link on that page that connects you with the story of the brave undercover pro-life advocates who went undercover to bust Planned Parenthood for the illegal selling of baby parts. (There is petition to help these two brave Christians).
“But rather than charge Planned Parenthood for illegally selling baby body parts, Center for Medical Progress investigators David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt face a second-degree felony charge of “tampering with a governmental record,” and a misdemeanor charge for violating the state’s “prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs.””
