Pro-Life Leader Expresses Optimism on 38th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser is available for comment on the 38th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion on-demand, which falls on Saturday, January 22. Dannenfelser will also be available for comment on-site during the annual March for Life on Monday, January 24. The Susan B. Anthony List spent $11 million during the 2010 midterm election cycle. Overall, the SBA List was involved in 90 races including 62 wins and 28 losses. Successes included: defeating 15 of 20 so-called "pro-life" Democrats who voted for abortion funding in the health care reform bill; increasing the number of pro-life women in the House by 70 percent; filling the void of pro-life women in the U.S. Senate and increasing the number of pro-life women governors from one to four.
SBA List President Available to Discuss Recent Legislative, Political and Cultural Shifts Regarding Abortion in America "On the 38th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade decision, we hold heavy in our hearts the 52 million lives lost and the countless mothers hurt by the horror of abortion," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "But with this great sadness comes great optimism. Americans have shown in poll after poll, and especially in the last election, that they find 'pro-choice' rhetoric empty of meaning and find abortion-friendly policies a violation of their consciences. The new pro-life House leadership has shown it is dedicated to translating this public opinion into real public policy that saves lives and ends taxpayer funding of abortion."
WHO: Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List WHAT: Media availability on the topic of abortion, not limited to but including the following:
Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
