Necessary Silence

Get 200 people and gather them on the steps of the local library on a certain day in March and watch the media tout the mass demonstrations against the war in Iraq. This week, hundreds of thousands marched on Washington, as they have done for the last 35 years, to call for an end to the most oppressive and deadly US policy since slavery, abortion. Being the dutiful propagandists they are, the media ignored this march as their favored One is all for abortion (as are most in the media).

The only silence on the subject of abortion more shocking than this was from Regent College. When a pro-abortion couple on the campus of UBC violently destroyed (watch the video here) an Anti-abortion booth at the student union, the minutes to the student council called for no response from the Regent which holds a seat on the UBC student union. I am not surprised by either Regent's unresponsiveness or the media's inaction, but I am disappointed.

I think the incident at UBC happened in 1999
