Roman Catholic seminarian Jeff Geerling just got back from the March for Life and has some photos to show for it, but what's on his mind now is the lopsided nature of the press coverage the rally received, as he writes in a thought-provoking entry, "War of the Words":

I am Pro-Life.

I am not an enemy of life. I am an ardent supporter of all human life; from the moment it starts (conception, when sperm meets egg), to the moment it naturally ends.

And yet, I am a "foe." I am an "enemy," according to most media sources. Take a look at these headlines:

* "Anti-abortionists pledge to fight on"
* "Abortion foes march in capital"
* "Abortion foes rally in Washington"
* "Abortion Foes Get Call From Bush"

Some may think that this is a non-issue, but it is not. Many members of the media are playing a game with words, trying to make pro-lifers sound like bad people, and "pro-choicers" sound good.
