Local coverage for the March for Life appeared on the LoHud website Friday (26th) and in the Journal News on Saturday (27th). Initially there was NO coverage of the March by these local media. When Tina McDermott, the head of Birthright in Peekskill made an inquiry, she was told that they DID NOT KNOW about the March.<\/p>\n

Since this site is monitored by the pro-abortion folks, we won't reveal the people who managed to scramble and get this excellent exposure, nor the very reasonable person at the Journal News we dealt with.  No sense exposing anyone to the possibility of harassment.<\/p>\n

This picture led both the online and newspaper (whole page A3 of the Saturday edition) coverage. The lohud link is below the picture.<\/p>\n

Please widely disseminate this posting as five women explain in a Q & A fashion their pro-life commitment. And leave comments on the LoHud site for the article!<\/p>\n

March for Life 2018: 5 people share their vision for the future<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

NOTE – a couple of pop up ads may inhibit your view; just shut them down. The full article will appear.<\/p>\n

More than 300 people from the Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties joined thousands of anti-abortion activists last week in the annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Here  is the first of the five women – their pictures do accompany the article.<\/p>\n

Anastasia Anderson<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think the march has evolved over the years? If so, how? <\/em><\/p>\n

The march has evolved dramatically, reaching over half a million these past few years. I have been going for years, and I don't remember it ever continuing this long. I was marching for four hours \u2014 at several points we stopped dead because there were so many people you couldn't move. I would guess about seven- or eight hundred thousand. This was the biggest march I've ever been to. Over the years, the crowd has also gotten younger; a lot of high-school and college kids. It has a lot of youthful energy. It was fun, I took a Mega Bus from Manhattan with some of my college-age friends.<\/p>\n

Do you think the mission of the activists has gained traction since Trump was elected? If so, how?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, the pro-life movement has certainly been helped by our president. For one thing, he isn't afraid to say what he thinks, and he is willing to do what he thinks is right. He addressed the entire pro-life rally directly through live stream, surrounded by a smaller group of pro-lifers from the march. But I think the main thing is that the pro-life movement, which is so accustomed to being ignored completely, has suddenly realized that there are a lot more people out there who think like we do. The Democrats think this election was an anomaly, but it just told us that 45 years of fighting ignorance paid off.<\/p>\n

What is your goal for the coming year and how will you achieve it? <\/em><\/p>\n

I aim to show those who do not share my belief that I am not bitter and scornful of their opposition but hope that they will one day see the truth about abortion, aided by any example or help and care that I can offer. Especially for my generation and the life being pushed on us \u2014 of promiscuity, contraception, abortion and then drugs and booze to numb us \u2014 is so full of despair. I want to offer a better way; I want to offer hope.<\/p>\n

That's a taste – now hit the link for all five women<\/a>.<\/p>\n
