Carolyn Zolbe is Praying for My Mom
Carolyn Zolbe, marcher in the March for Life and Arlington resident, thinks this about President Barack Obama: “I think he’s a child of God.”
Zolbe’s daughter, Grace Doherty, isn’t quite as neutral in her assessment:
“If you don’t view the value of life, how could your other views have any quality.” Zolbe, who wears a winning smile to accompany her mom-thanking sign, tells her daughter to pirouette for the camera: Doherty, for her part, wears a string of bloody baby heads dangling down her back, with a sign that says, “Some choice.”
Having noted that I am the daughter of someone, Zolbe asked for my mother’s name so that she could pray for my mother, “because she chose life.”

I hope your mother taught you how to say a vehement “no” to an outrageous or creepy request. But I’m confused by Ms. Zerbe’s request to pray for your mother. In the past, others offered to pray for me so I would change my unseemly behavior or, even, join their church. In this case, since your mother has already chosen life, what is the purpose of the prayer? I think they just want her on their fundraising list.

I think this is one instance where they are praying for “her” because they condone her choice to bring me into this world. But they obviously don’t know much about me, either.

How do they know that your mother didn’t have lifesaving abortion earlier in life, allowing her later pregnancy with you? Do the ends somehow justify the means here?
