Most of our nearly 400,000 subscribers will receive this special NRL News edition around the time of the 29th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision. That will be a somber occasion, for Roe "bruised the soul of America," as Jean Garton once observed, initiating a spiral of unhappiness, cruelty, and brutality that persists to this day.

On January 22, 1973, the powers that be welcomed the Supreme Court's cavalier treatment of history, haphazard explication of the law, and ludicrous leaps in logic with open arms. Recent developments in the states had shown that a pro-life counteroffensive was picking up steam and, rattled, pro-abortionists began to panic.

But then the Court handed down its ruling in Roe v. Wade (and its companion case Doe v. Bolton), creating a federal constitutional "right" to slaughter the innocent spun out of whole cloth. Pro-abortionists breathed a collective sign of relief.

The response of a clearly relieved New York Times editorial page was emblematic of the Abortion Establishment's take on the two 7-2 decisions. Patting opponents on the head, the Times counseled us to pack up our bags and go home.

Why? Because further resistance was futile. The abortion issue, we were gravely assured, was now "settled."

Were it not for the pro-life movement, this description/prescription could well have come true.

This Special Commemorative Issue lifts up the hood and takes a long overdue look at the engine that powers our Movement: the 3,000+ chapters found throughout the nation. They work harmoniously with their state NRLC affiliate and the national NRLC office in Washington, D.C., like sparkplugs in a well-maintained automobile.
