Archbishop Burke Leads 400 on Pro-Life Prayer Vigil

Burke leads crowd of 400 to Planned Parenthood clinic
This is the first headline from 1/15....
Roman Catholic Archbishop Raymond Burke led a calm procession of nearly 400 people from the ornate St. Louis Cathedral Basilica to sidewalks outside an abortion clinic Saturday.

The five-block walk from the cathedral on Lindell Boulevard to Planned Parenthood on Forest Park Avenue was to lament the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, which legalized abortion. The decision’s actual anniversary is Jan. 22.

This was the fifth such event for the archdiocese and the first for Burke, who came to St. Louis a year ago.

"We pray for the parents who are contemplating the betrayal of their parenthood through abortion," Burke said at a Mass at the cathedral. Burke said he viewed the struggle as "a battle against Satan and his cohorts."
Evidently, not content with the headline above, a new and improved version appeared on 1/16:
Burke leads anti-abortion protest
Forget the fact that this was a "Pro-Life" event..."Pro-life" is one of the terms which apparently is verboten at the Post...
