How many participated in the March?
Why was it not mentioned, even briefly, on any of the news stations?

One site estimated 300,000 marchers.
Each year it is rarely mentioned by the usual media outlets, and then they focus on the 10 or so pro-choice protesters. With fifty million skeletons in the closet, they don’t even want to acknowledge that the closet exists.

and who can blame them? it is similar to the holocaust. once we admit that it is wrong to murder babies then as a nation we are responsible for the worst crime against humanity this world has ever seen.

well said,… Such a shame that the medial is very much under the control of the liberals… : (
sad… freedom of speech but only publicized if it fits into what the news stations believe is acceptable.

I really don’t think we should compare abortion to the holocaust. It does more harm than good for the pro life movement.

This question comes up every year, because every year the situation is the same. What I have read in the past is that the national news media tend to ignore annual marches (as compared to a one time march) as “old news.” Most coverage will come from local news media reporting the participation of area residents. Since local news media seem to prefer covering the march before it happens (rather than afterwords) perhaps one strategy is for local groups to approach the newspapers and TV news stations in their area so that these local news outlets can interview participants and run a story ahead of the march.

There were approximately 250,000 marchers.
It wasn’t mentioned because secular media has been won over by the fallen angel and Satan hates love, and children, and life.
Love and life are ignored in droves by our secular atheist society, and Planned Parentlhood, the Devils actual workshop and plaything, carries a BIG stick in Washington, and with the media.
Keep on praying please, and don’t let up or be discouraged. Things are happening. We’ll get there. God told us so.
Blessings,

Really?? Describe to me in what ways it is unlike the holocaust. The only differences I see are the location and the groups of people targeted.
oh yeah and the holocaust resulted in a much lower death count- about 1/5 that of the number of abortions in America since Roe v Wade

It’s really funny (not haha- funny) how if there are a dozen, or so, people gathered in protest outside a puppy mill, the news is all over it like stink-on-dog pooh. But when hundreds of thousands gather for the unborn in Washington every year on January 22nd, the news channels cower in the corner and hide like a plague will befall them if they even think of mentioning the March.
Buncha cowards!

The word “holocaust” was around long before the holocaust of WWII. The definition of holocaust is great destruction resulting in an extensive loss of life, especially by genocide. I think abortion qualifies.

Abortion certainly qualifies, that is not the point. The point is, does it help or hurt the pro-life cause. The term, since the late 70s is used almost exclusively to define the attempted extermination of Jews during WWII. There are two sides to the question, I am undecided. On one hand, the horror of abortion should not be understated. On the other hand, not everyone recognizes that level of horror now, we need an different cultural shift in the thinking of society on abortion. If we “turn people off”, such as the Jews, for using a term they consider unique to them, it becomes more difficult to reach them in the future.

What on earth are you talking about? It IS a holocaust! How can the truth hurt the pro-life cause? The truth is the truth. Your question is bizzare.
I’m sure when Jesus walked the earth, His truth pricked many consciences and “hurt” people and turned them off. He told the truth anyway.

I have to disagree with you. Those people who don’t recognize the level of horror on abortion need to know that it is a holocaust. I believe it does all those who suffered and died during any holocaust in history to deny that this is infact a holocost. By calling anything else we are doing a huge disfavor to those children who are dying by the hundreds everyday. We need to stop hiding from the PC police and start stating facts. Abortion is the holocaust of our day.

Can you not read, I said that abortion certainly qualifies as a holocaust.

Can you not read, I said I was undecided on the matter. So how can you disagree with my position on the matter, since I don’t have one.

Yes, but you asked whether the term “holocaust” was doing harm to the pro-life cause. Hence, my answer.

Note taken out of context, you “The point is, does it help or hurt the pro-life cause. …There are two sides to the question, I am undecided”
That is what I am talking about. I will try to clarify. ABORTION IS A HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST. There, I shouted that, so as not to be misread anymore. But, I know of many jews who get very offended when anyone else uses that term, not just us pro-lifers, I’ve been told that. They then turn off their ears to any further argument we may have. Are they right to do so? Of course not. Do we want to bring them to our side? Of course we do. So the issue is, can we describe the horrors of abortion adequately without using that word. If the answer is no, then we should use that word. If the answer is yes, then we should CONSIDER not using that word (even in this case, I am undecided).
Now, you guys can try to present reasoned arguments and convince me of your approach, or you can continue to not pay attention to what I am saying. I would really like the former, as it would possibly help me out. Its up to you though, I will just read what you have to say, as I don’t have a position to argue. I just have a concern with the use of the term.
Flame retardant self-applied.

Tafan, since everyone seems to “not be able to read” your answers, may I suggest that the problem quite possibly lies with your answers?
