Abortion is the Human Rights Abuse of Today and Should Absolutely be a Bi-Partisan Issue

 

Washington, D.C.  – In response to last night’s first Democratic debate, March for Life Education and Defense Fund President Jeanne Mancini offered the following comment:

“Abortion is the human rights abuse of today and should absolutely be a bi-partisan issue. It is truly sad that the life issues weren’t addressed head-on within the presidential debate last night, especially given that they featured prominently in the other two debates in recent weeks.”

In response to Hillary Clinton’s accusation that pro-life leaders use “big government” to implement pro-life policies, Tom McClusky, March for Life Action Vice-President for Government Affairs, further added:

“Mrs. Clinton seems to feel abortion giant Planned Parenthood is a victim of Big Government. Correction, Mrs. Clinton: with over half a billion in taxpayer funds filling their coffers Planned Parenthood IS Big Government.”

The March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration on January 22, 1974, the first anniversary of the now-infamous Supreme Court decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world.  The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, abortion.

Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund, is available for interviews. For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact Ryan Hughes at RHughes@SBPublicAffairs.com or (703) 739-5920.
