Over at my other home, CatholicVote:

After years of featuring her as a commentator on several of its shows, Fox News Channel has signed pro-life advocate Alveda King, niece of civil-rights luminary Dr. Martin Luther King, as a regular contributor, discussing social and cultural issues across FNC’s daytime and primetime programming.

King — who has an honorary Doctorate of Laws Degrees from the Benedictine Saint Anselm College, and often goes by “Dr. King” — is the daughter of civil-rights activist Rev. A.D. King and his wife, Naomi Barber King. During the Civil Rights Movement, bombers struck her family home in Birmingham, Alabama, and her father’s church office in Louisville, Kentucky; and King herself was jailed during protests for open housing.

According to her biography at Priests for Life (where she is a pastoral associate and director of African-American outreach), “She sees the prolife movement as a continuation of the Civil Rights struggle.”

I also look at King’s (non-Catholic) religious affiliations and explore a liberal criticism of her words that, unfortunately, isn’t entirely wrong (and also not Catholic, but then, neither is she).

But she’s fighting the good fight against abortion, so good on her.
