WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Talk about strange bedfellows ... The
three most significant people in the legalization of abortion on demand in the
United States joined forces with the largest, most unified pro-life alliance
to date, Shake the Nation Back to Life, to become part of a cultural message
that is unprecedented. The historic 32-member and counting coalition
announced a national advertising campaign on Monday, 10 a.m., January 14, at
the National Press Club, and the stars of the 60-second spot will be three of
the abortion industry's former heroes.
Shake the Nation Back to Life is a project of D. James Kennedy's Center
for Reclaiming America. Janet Folger, the force behind the grassroots effort,
notes that there has never been a coalition like this before. "The fact that
32 of the most respected pro-life organizations joined together as never
before was already momentous," said Folger, national director of the Center
for Reclaiming America. "But having these three founders of abortion on
demand join us makes Shake the Nation Back to Life historic."
"Most Americans have no idea that three of the abortion industry's
superstars are now solidly pro-life," Folger said. "But they'll see the truth
for themselves now."
This second ad in the Shake the Nation campaign features Norma McCorvey,
"Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade; Sandra Cano, who was "Mary Doe" of Doe v. Bolton,
Roe's companion case that legalized late-term abortions; and Dr. Bernard
Nathanson, a co-founder of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights
Action League (NARAL), the group that announced a $40 million campaign to
block President Bush's pro-life judicial nominees, and all pro-life
legislation in 2001. The TV spot aired at the press conference, showed
McCorvey, Cano, and Nathanson boldly declaring, "Abortion is a lie." The spot
is scheduled to air on Fox, MSNBC and CNN, and continue past Jan. 22, the 29th
anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
The news conference included statements from a Who's Who list of pro-life
leaders such as Gary Bauer, president of American Values; Ken Conner,
president of Family Research Council; and Sandy Rios, president of Concerned
Women for America, to name a few. Shake the Nation originated in September as
a pro-life coalition organizing in advance of any Supreme Court nomination.
Its goals are to both prepare for the nomination process and focus pro-life
Americans from across the country on the issue in an effort to communicate to
the Senate and White House the strong support for life nationwide. Senators
are receiving thousands of rattles from their constituents as part of the
campaign, which can be tracked at http://www.shakethenation.org . But a cultural
message, as seen in the "Abortion Is a Lie" ad, is an important part of a
debate of this magnitude.
