Twins march against abortion in D.C.

Annual event becoming a tradition for local college students

DIXON – In what’s become an annual tradition for them, Dixon twins marched with thousands of others in Washington, D.C. on Friday to show that they believe Roe v. Wade has got to go.

Sadie and Mary Bratt, 21, are seniors at Christendom College, a Catholic university in Front Royal, Va. It’s about an hour’s drive from D.C., where the annual March for Life was held to protest the Supreme Court decision that upholds a woman’s right to have an abortion.

This year’s event was a few days after the 40th anniversary of the Jan. 22, 1973, landmark decision. It was Mary’s fourth march, and Sadie’s third.

Good or bad? Depends on who you ask

Sometimes readers ask for more good news in the paper. They say we in the media only cover the bad. But one person's positive is another's negative.
