  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

As pro-life advocates journey to Washington, D.C., for the third post-Roe March for Life, the incoming president of the march believes “there’s a lot of reasons for hope” for the pro-life movement to continue scoring legislative and cultural wins going forward.

The 52nd annual March for Life is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 24, and it will be the last one led by Jeanne Mancini, the outgoing March for Life Education and Defense Fund president.

The group’s president-elect, Jennie Bradley Lichter, will take the helm on Feb. 1, about one week after the march.

Lichter — a Catholic mother of three, a lawyer, and a longtime advocate for the sanctity of life — has been active in the pro-life movement since her childhood. She told CNA that growing up, she witnessed the example of her mother and her father, Gerard Bradley, a retired pro-life Notre Dame law professor who advocated for the unborn.
