GREAT new resource:
AbortionChangesYou!
UPDATE: 9:41am...
Senator Sam Brownback: "Today's event is consistently one of the most under-reported events in DC annually."
"Today's crowds will be in the hundreds of thousands, and virtually ignored by the media."
"75-90% of those in attendance today will be under the age of 25, the demographic is changing, and the debate is changing..."
"Who the enemy is... The enemy is NOT the pro-choice activist, or those who have had an abortion, the enemy is death, despair, and fear. We are fighting for life, hope, and joy in the future..."
"It's not about declaring this person bad or that persona bad..."
"It's a fight I DEEPLY believe we are going to win."
"Last year we defeated Congressional moves for expansion in this area. And we had ENORMOUS wins on the scientific front of the issue. Stem cell fight is not over - but we are at the beginning of the end of that fight."
"The next fight will be human/animals crosses, and making it a genetic 'pass-on' to future generations... it is the next phase of the wave that we are at..."
"Our nominee will be a pro-life nominee, and the next President will be a pro-life president..."
***Did he just eliminate his support for Giuliani?***
Q&A - "Will the next President eliminate the funding for Planned Parenthood? It would be my hope that he would... health circumstances, and statutory rape cases need to at least be investigated. But we are FAR aways from the votes in the Congress to cut off that funding..."
"Direct Response Activism? All in favor of it..."
We WILL be broadcasting the show this afternoon from the March For Life blog HQ which will be stock full of both pro-life AND pro-choice leading blog voices. Some of that debate will be captured this afternoon LIVE with your phone calls welcomed at 2pm EST.
