Celebrate Life...
Jan. 22, 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the affirmative for a case entitled Roe vs. Wade effectively allowing for abortion on demand.
Today, Jan. 24, 2005, over 100,000 people are marching in Washington, D.C. (despite the cold weather) to protest that ruling and ask that it be overturned. The school 2 of my children attend, the Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio is closed today. Nine buses with about 1,000 students drove to D.C. Others drove in their own vehicles. There are thousands of other people from many different places. This is an annual event of 32 years. I'm sure that others would be there physically but for many reasons, like getting off of work, missing classes, etc. can't be there. Please be there in spirit, as I am, with the pro-life marchers. EWTN is broadcasting it live and estimate that of the 100,000 people over 50% are under age 25. They are marching down Constitution Ave. and will turn shortly towards the Supreme Court.
It is important for all of us to be involved in this battle to overturn this ruling so that one day this March for Life will be a joyous celebration of life not a fight to preserve life.
Also, pray for your mother and father today, because of them YOU are alive!!!
God bless all of you, Kitty
Update: Just saw my daughter Leenie waving at me from behind the broadcaster. She was very excited and is happy to be able to be a part of this ProLife protest.

25 isn't that far away now, and I haven't been in any marches or political rallies. What if I miss out?! I guess I need to take a stand and start living life...

Well, being a protest marcher isn't the most important thing in life, but it does make you feel like you're doing something, for whatever cause. I've been in so many protests, some for the wrong things, that I've probably done enough for both of us.
Wanted to leave you with a thought from a girl who was at the March for Life and also to say that I miss you blogging. Come back soon! Kitty
"One third of our generation has been killed by abortion, so I think it's something that's very personal for us," said Emily Bissonnette, a junior theology and communications arts major and vice president of Students for Life. "It's really a privilege to be able to stand up for the unborn and be their voice."
