Agenda </FONT></B></FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>WASHINGTON –
From coast to coast, pro-lifers are marking the 36th anniversary of
the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions, which
legalized abortion for any reason, even as a method of birth
control. Since 1973, these decisions have resulted in the death of
more than 50 million unborn children.</FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><B>"We mourn the
deaths of 50 million unborn babies that were the tragic consequence
of these decisions,"</B> said Wanda Franz, Ph.D., president of
National Right to Life. <B>"Sadly, under the Obama
Administration, we can expect a radical agenda which would cause
this number to increase dramatically."</B></FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>In consultation
with a coalition of pro-abortion groups, which submitted a 55-page
outline of pro-abortion policies to the Obama transition team, the
Obama Administration has an agenda designed to repeal many, if not
all, of the pro-life policies in place at the state and federal
level. </FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>Through their
extreme agenda, the Administration wants to fund organizations that
perform and promote abortion; force employer health insurance plans
to cover abortion; force hospitals and health care professionals to
provide abortions; and enact the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" –
a bill that would invalidate virtually all state and federal laws
restricting abortion, including parental notification laws, and
which would make partial-birth abortion legal again.</FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>Also among their
primary targets is the Hyde Amendment, named for the late
Congressman Henry J. Hyde (R-IL). The Hyde Amendment prevents
tax dollars from being used to pay for abortion except in cases of
rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger. It has
been estimated that the Hyde Amendment has saved at least one
million lives, and quite possibly two million or more.</FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><B>"It is
absolutely vital that pro-lifers across the country come together to
defeat President Obama's abortion agenda. The stakes have
never been higher, but our resolve and determination to protect
unborn children and help their mothers has never been stronger,"</B>
Franz said.</FONT>
<P class=MsoNormal><I><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>The National
Right to Life Committee is the nation's largest pro-life group with
affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters
nationwide. National Right to Life works through legislation
and education to protect those threatened by abortion, infanticide,
euthanasia and assisted suicide.</FONT></I>
