Cardinal Sean of Boston (he's a member of the Capuchin order) has his own weblog. He was in Washington for the March for Life - he says he's gone virtually every year since 1974 - and wrote extensivley about this year's March. Both about the events the prior two days of the March, and the March itself. There's also lots of nice pictures. Very worth reading the whole weblog entry.

The witness of having many thousands of Catholics and a big percentage of the leadership of the Catholic Church together on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I think, is a very important testimony to the fact that this issue is at the center of Catholic social teaching. You can talk about economic justice, racial equality, women’s rights and many other issues that are important. But if we don’t allow a person to be born, then they’re never going to have the opportunity to enjoy all of those other rights that we also defend. So there’s something very basic and very central about this teaching, and for that reason the Church must continue to be a voice for the culture of life.
