On September 15, 2011, the New York Times published an article that gave me hope about our world today. In recent years, much of the media coverage on abortion has been one sided. Therefore, being pro-abortion has been presented as being hip and cool. And prolife has been written about as being oppressively “onerous” toward woman as opposed to being a movement to save lives. Even though the article, “Virginia Health Bard Tightens Rules on Abortion Clinics” leaned toward that view, it provided stand out facts and important opinions from both pro-abortion and pro-life activists. This was fairer and clearer than I’ve seen in a while. Perhaps there’s hope that the media is beginning to open its eyes to the true amount of people in the nation that are opposed to increasing abortions in our country.
Ultimately, it was also great to read that pro-life advocates in Virginia are gaining traction and are fighting their way through the barrage of one sided media attacks and are holding their own against an army of victims the media is helping to create, the people who are being made to believe in justified killing. I find it to be a confusing world in which the population of Vegans is increasing alongside a growing number of “pro-choice” advocates. So people are increasingly against say, eating an egg, but not against disposing of a human embryo. For me, a pro-lifer, this was the article that most interested me in the day’s paper. I hope I start my day to many more like it.
