MEDIA ALERT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Message to Planned Parenthood, “Abortion is nothing to Celebrate”in Chicago
“Hard-working” PP President and “Contraception Cheerleader” Targets of Navy Pier Protest
WHAT: A Pro-Life protest of Planned Parenthood’s Generations Gala
WHEN: Thursday, May 2, 2013, at 4:30 p.m. (Central)
WHERE: Chicago’s Navy Pier, beginning at Illinois Street, one block east of Lake Shore Drive, Chicago
WHO: Pro-Life Action League and concerned citizens
WHAT:
Prayer and protest to bring attention to the profit-driven abortion
industry’s disregard for the well-being and safety of women and
children. Of particular concern are flippant comments made my current
Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who has famously boasted
that she works hard for her huge salary, and Sandra Fluke, who is best
known for complaining to Congress that her Catholic law school refuses
to pay for students’ contraception.
WHY: Americans
who value the sanctity of human life wish to confront Planned
Parenthood’s well-heeled donors with the grisly reality of exactly what
they’re supporting. The protest message will be simple: Abortion is
nothing to celebrate.
VISUALS/AUDIO:
• Poster-sized images of aborted babies
• Pro-life supporters praying and protesting
• Possible reaction from Planned Parenthood event attendees and staff.
• Negative and positive reactions from passerby
