On Monday, January 22nd at 9:00 am, Family Research Council will host Blogs for Life, the second annual conference of pro-life bloggers. The event will be streamed live via webcast from FRC.org. (Visit the FRC homepage on the day of the conference for more details.)
Blogs for Life is scheduled to take place the day of the 34th annual March for Life, during which thousands of pro-life advocates gather in the Nation's capitol to celebrate life and demand the reversal of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
The conference will feature Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA). Other featured speakers include Bobby Schindler, the brother of Terri Schindler Schiavo and Ramesh Ponnuru, noted author of The Party of Death and senior editor at National Review.
A panel on new media will also be held with David All (David All Group), LaShawn Barber (LaShawn Barber's Corner), Mary Katherine Ham (TownHall.com), Rob Bluey (Heritage Foundation), Tim Ruchti (ProLifeBlogs.com), and Peter Shinn (ProLifeUnity.com).
Blogs for Life is an excellent opportunity for individuals and organizations to network with pro-life bloggers and develop an understanding of how weblog technology can be used to strategically promote life and transform ideas into action as we move toward a post-Roe America.

Just checked out the site-big keynote address about the democrats being the "party of death", but nothing about the Iraq war or the torture of detainees by our government. I applaud them for their concern for the unborn, but what about the people that have made it out of their mother's womb and are walking around with the rest of us?
Maybe they'll get Ms. Ann Coulter and Dinesh D'Souza will be doing some guest blogging.

JohnW-
Your comment, if you'll pardon my facetiousness, is akin to asking why this blog doesn't have recipes.
How much ground can any conference, or cause for that, cover? Pro-life people are working against abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research...and some also oppose the death penalty. There's plenty on our plate as it is, to continue the food metaphor.
As far as the Democrats go, I note that new Democratic Rep.Heath Shuler, from a neighboring district to me in NC, was one of 16 Dems in the House who voted against embryonic stem cell funding a few days ago. That was a gutsy vote on his part, and for the others.
It's far too soon to give up on the Democrats.

...who will be whoring his latest book, in which he tells us that if only we had burned more liberals and homosexuals at the stake, then Al Quaeda wouldn't be picking on us poor Americans. Pfft.

You're thinking of Dinesh D'Souza, not Ramesh Ponnuru. You might be surprised to find that we actually have two Indian American on the Right. ; )
