ROE v. WADE: 36 YEARS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
Pro-Lifers Prepare to Battle Pro-Abortion Agenda  

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. 

"We mourn the deaths of 50 million unborn babies that were the tragic
consequence of these decisions," said Wanda Franz, Ph.D., president of
National Right to Life.  "Sadly, under the Obama Administration, we can
expect a radical agenda which would cause this number to increase
dramatically." 

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.


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. 

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. 

"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," Franz said. 

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.
