Considering how large a role abortion played in the congressional health care reform scuffle, it?s little wonder the latest issue of Newsweek lends some ink to it. The piece mostly gives voice to Baby Boomer pro-choicers moaning about their waning influence (emphasis mine):
This past January, when [NARAL president Nancy] Keenan?s train pulled into Washington?s Union Square, a few blocks from the Capitol, she was greeted by a swarm of anti-abortion-rights activists. It was the 37th March for Life, organized every year on Jan. 22, the anniversary of [Roe v. Wade]. ?I just thought, my gosh, they are so young,? Keenan recalled. ?There are so many of them, and they are so young.? March for Life estimates it drew 400,000 activists to the Capitol this year. An anti-Stupak rally two months earlier had about 1,300 attendees.
Later in the article, another NARAL?er opines that ultrasounds have ?helped to define how people think about a fetus as a full, breathing human being.? Darn that technology!
