No WashPost Story On March For Life – But One for ‘Macaca’

The Washington Post published no preview story for the March for Life on Monday, despite its massive annual size.

I didn’t see that paper this morning, but I have been suprised at how much coverage of fertility issues they’ve had recently–and not all of it positive. For example, the story by the now adult child of a single woman who had artificial insemination and raised her daughter with no father. Also they just had a story about a couple who went to all kinds of extreme measures to conceive and ended up adopting. At the very end the mother says how having a child was the whole point not being pregnant. I hope articles like those will show how the whole fertility/artificial conception industry is really just in it for the money–and those couples who want children should adopt instead.
 
I just read the article on the March for Life on the Washington Post’s website.
