No Shades of Gray

FRC’s Cathy Ruse gives her tribute to March for Life founder Nellie Gray in NRO’s symposium:
Nellie Gray did more than focus the nation on the pro-life cause once a year. She helped pro-lifers see each other, and in so doing has kept the movement young and strong.
I remember the first time I marched as a mom. Little Lucy, snug and warm in a sling on my hip, engaged in one of her favorite pastimes: studying the faces of the people around her. She saw many happy ones that cold day.
What Lucy understood instinctively has been lost to many in our post-modern world: that we are made to live in relation to each other, not in isolation.

Looking the other way on sex-selection abortion
by
Jared Bridges
June 6, 2012
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA), which protects unborn children from sex-selection abortions. A spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the bill a “distraction,” as if gender based abortions was not a real issue in America.
Following up on their undercover videos from last week, LiveAction has released a new video showing abortion clinic staff in Arizona —- a state with laws prohibiting sex-selection abortions —- more than ready to look the other way when an undercover “patient” wishes to abort a child because it is a girl.
