WJS Warned of Gloom and Doom; We Got Doom.

Wesley J. Smith, the prolific conservative who writes about the sweep of the "culture of death" across the country, summarizes the wins and losses for "pro-life" groups.

What he says about the Obama administration is telling:

Indeed, I worried that "the people now in power have views that are inimical to the sanctity and equality of human life."

I still believe that is true. But I underestimated the resiliency and determination of those who oppose the development of what is sometimes called a culture of death. Thus, the year didn't go nearly as badly as I feared.
