4:00 – March for Life: A Live Report From the Scene
The pro-life community is gathering for the 37th straight year in Washington on the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. The ruling established the nationwide right to abortion on demand 37 years ago. There was a rally at the National Mall earlier today and the March is currently winding it’s way down Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol. Fr. Michael Orsi is there with many students of Ave Maria Law School and brings us the latest from the rally.

4:20 – Kresta Comments – Keith Olbermann’s America
In a Special Comment on MSNBC’s “Countdown” with Keith Olbermann last night, the ultra-left anchor spent about 10 minutes ranting about the US Supreme Court’s decision striking down certain provisions of the McCain / Feingold Campaign Finance Reform, and essentially rewriting the rules for campaign donations. Olbermann uses all the hyperbole he can possibly muster and lay out a vision of a future United States in which evil corporations buy politicians and the stupid American public is helpless to do anything about it. Al has his own “Special Comment.”

4:40 – TBA

5:20 – “Extraordinary Measures” / “To Save a Life”
From his working class roots, John Crowley has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill. Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system and time. But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test - the outcome of which will affect the fate of John's children. Nick Thomm has the review of “Extraordinary Measures.”
