JANUS

I have looked at life from both sides now, January 18th and 19th, 2019.  The March for Life contrasted with the Women's March, both in Washington, turned out not just contrasting ideologies, but contrasting behaviors and attendance numbers.   Is it a hopeful sign that many more pro-lifers braved the cold than strident pro-choicers?  A hundred thousand as opposed to ten thousand?  Is it a hopeful sign that pro-lifers marched silently and/or singing with joy as opposed to screaming banshees with 'mother-fuckering' vocabularies?  Is it a hopeful sign that pro-lifers don't pollute  the ground they walk on but the pro-choicers, make and leave a mess in their wake?  Is it a hopeful sign for the future of America?

Don't bet on it. Coverage and hoopla for the pro-choicers is controlled by media noise makers. Coverage has been minimum for pro-lifers.  What march? What significance?  The Silent majority has struggled to be heard since Roe v. Wade in 1973.  Each local bishop across the country celebrates a commemorative Mass Jan. 22 for the millions of lives lost since the decision. Freedom rings out the old, rings in the new, but not enough  hearts and minds have been changed.
