The news conference will be on Tuesday, March 18, at 1:00 P.M. at the Wellington Webb Municipal Building at 201 W. Colfax in Denver.

 

Danielle Versluys, the Program Director for Survivors, will be available for comments.

 

Ms. Versluys states, "It is our prayer that true change will come in 2008-that justice and mercy will return to our nation, the innocent children of America will be protected from death by abortion, and mothers and fathers will be spared the horrible pain and suffering that accompanies the tragedy of abortion.

 

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Washington, D.C. based Christian Defense Coalition, adds, "We are coming to Denver to bring a powerful message of change to the Democratic Party.  That message is Senator Clinton and Obama, end the war on America's children through abortion and stop this horrific violence against innocent human life."
