The pro-life march was held to bring exposure against the proposed Freedom of Choice Act that President-elect Obama says he will sign into law. The Freedom of Choice Act will overturn many state laws against partial-birth abortions and ice up the slippery slope to state funded abortions.
From the PD --
More than 200 abortion opponents huddled Saturday at noon to pray at Perk Park, then fanned to the sidewalks of East 12th Street, trudging the two blocks to PlayhouseSquare in a wind chill of minus-8 degrees.
"This was not a confrontational march," said Anne Robins, executive director of LifeWorks Ohio, who helped organize the march with Cleveland Right to Life. "It's a call to prayer."
State Rep. Josh Mandel, a Republican from Lyndhurst, and Ohio Christian Alliance President Chris Long also spoke against the bill, urging people to call, e-mail and send letters to their congressional representatives. On Saturday, participants filled out postcards to send to U.S. Sens. George Voinovich and Sherrod Brown.
That Obama would promise to sign this bill into law on the campaign trail is no surprise. During the short life of his fantasy-filled political career, Barack O'babykiller, voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act and has earned the nickname - The Infanticide Candidate.
What I don't understand is why Barack, the man who "embraces" his partial blackness with bear hugs, would support the #1 killer of black Americans - Abortion.

If you are unable to get a hold of, or are ignored by Brown, may I suggest contacting his abortion-supporting hired gun in the local media, his wife, Connie Schultz of the Plain Dealer at mailto:cschultz@plaind.com.

ReplyDelete200 is a low count. I was there and counted more than 200... there might have been twice that.
And the banquet hall had a pipe burst, so the newly renovated room was covered in brown water. yuck.
King:
ReplyDeleteYour boy Rob Frost was there. Is he up for election again?
Thanks for the accurate info Matt. I wrote over 200 figuring the PD always underestimates crowds for conservative events and over inflates crowds for democrat events. I am glad to see there was a good turnout.

I am also glad to see the Rob Frost showed up. Understand, I do not dislike Rob. In fact, I think he is a good guy.
What I dislike is that because of the power structure of the RPCC our party is completely ineffective. I dislike that the Synenbergs & Pogues of the party are allowed to peddle their influence using our party as a way to line their pockets or advance their agendas.
For all their influence - do you think they were out in the cold marching? Hell No! That type of stuff is below them. The people in our party fail to understand we would be much stronger with the type of people at that march than allowing ourselves to be whores to Pogues and Synenberg's check book. Which by the way have done nothing to improve our local party.
