If You Can Spare a Prayer...
It seems to have been a big week in terms of prayer requests. And it's not over yet. A friendly and outstanding blogger in the blogosphere has been completely and misguidingly smeared by Women's Wear Daily. You may read the story in full: "Dawn of the Desk".
The article states:
"Dawn Eden, apparently embellished a Jan. 18 editorial about stem-cell research during the editing process. Her version of the story — which slammed New York Senate Minority Leader David Paterson’s plan for a state-sponsored stem-cell institute as a “harebrained scheme” — made it into print."
And Dawn replies:
"This is a complete lie and it can easily be disproved... As a copy editor on the NEWS copy desk and not the EDITORIAL PAGE department, I had NO computer access to the editorials. I would only see them when they were on page proofs, where I would mark grammar and spelling corrections ONLY. These page proofs were then given to the editorial-page editors, who would make the changes themselves. I never once while I was at the Post accessed an editorial in a manner that I could possibly make any change without the editors' full and complete knowledge."
It would seem that someone has it out for Dawn, and I ask you to pray for not only Dawn, but also the people who are fighting against Dawn Eden. She is an amazingly talented blogger, illuminating many of the fallacies of Planned Parenthood's and others' doctrines attacking human life, exposing many PP blunders and promoting a Culture of Life.
I encourage anyone who has not already done so to look through The Dawn Patrol's Archives and read some of the past entries - there seems to be an abundance of witty, wise and interesting observations about all things related to the pro-life movement, among other things!
