Pro-Life March

Several pro-life groups are working together to sponsor a women's lobbying day in Washington, DC. On Wednesday, April 27, hundreds of pro-life women from around the United States will take part in "REAL Women's Voices," an event focused on lobbying senators on sanctity-of-life issues, such as Bush's judicial nominees and the ban on human cloning. The all-day gathering will include a training breakfast, a press conference, lobbying, and an evening reception for women lobbyists and pro-life lawmakers. Jane Abraham is president of the Susan B. Anthony List, one of the organizations sponsoring tomorrow's events. She says the idea that the majority of women support abortion is a misconception. "Polls consistently show that American women are more pro-life than pro-choice and overwhelmingly support restrictions on abortion," Abraham notes. "Women are coming to Washington to speak out and to lobby on behalf of women and unborn children. They want Congress to hear real women's voices, not misconceptions." Other sponsors of the REAL Women's Voices event include the National Right to Life Committee, Concerned Women for America, Silent No More Awareness, Eagle Forum, and Family Research Council Action.
