....
These are good times for the movement. Thirty-three years since the Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal nationwide, its foes spoke yesterday with the confidence -- the swagger, almost -- of a movement on the verge of victory.

"This might be our last march!" exulted Steven Peroutka, chairman of the National Pro-Life Action Center, addressing a crowd of about 500 activists in the Russell Senate Office Building. "Our next march very well may be the March to Celebrate the Overturning of Roe v. Wade !" The crowd went nuts.
...


Signs of the movement's rising confidence were everywhere: Gone, for the most part, were the grotesque photos of aborted fetuses. In their place were slick slogans, such as "Justice for All -- Born and Preborn," and a lineup of some of the country's most powerful people.

Danielle Constant, a college student carrying a "Defend Life" poster, said Roe would fall within a decade. "Once we get Alito on the bench," she said, "five to 10 years, God willing."

1. They should be proud of th themselves. What with getting thousands of

girls and women killed and mutilated. Already there are records of girls belonging to wacko Christian anti-choice families, and living in states that restrict access to abortion, dieing from illegal or attempted abortions. This is just the start. Soon thousands will be turning to bleach and acid douches, back-alley abortionists and the every popular rusty coat hanger in order to keep their secret. More death and mutilation, just what this world needs. :sarcasm:
