LOS ANGELES, June 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Members of the Survivors will join with the Christian Defense Coalition as they launch a national public campaign educating voters on Senator Obama's radical support of abortion.
 
The protest will be on Tuesday, June 24, at 4:00 P.M., at the Music Center located at 135 Grand Ave. in downtown Los Angeles.
 
This event will kick-off a nationwide campaign called "Barack Obama: The Abortion President" in which there will be major demonstrations at appearances by Senator Obama drawing attention to his pro-abortion views.
 
If elected, Senator Obama would be the most pro-abortion in American history.
 
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Washington, D.C. based Christian Defense Coalition, "We are delighted to have members of this emerging generation join with us in exposing the radical pro-abortion views of Senator Obama.  Senator Obama supports abortion on demand, Partial-Birth Abortion, wants Americans to pay for abortion through his healthcare plan and expand abortion rights through the Freedom of Choice Act.
 
"We intend to make Senator Obama’s extremist pro-abortion policies a major part of the presidential campaign as we call for him to end his violence against America's children.  We will especially focus on educating conservative Catholics and young evangelicals concerning Senator Obama's radical abortion policies and calling for him to build a culture of life and stand for social justice."
 
Danielle White Versluys, National Special Events Director for Survivors, states, "As a mother to small children, I want to believe in Senator Obama's call for change, hope, and a better America.  As a young woman, I want to believe Senator Obama has my interests at heart.  However, Senator Obama continues to embrace abortion on demand – extreme policies that result in the deaths of thousands of my daughters' peers every day from abortion.  We will never have a better America as long as the most helpless of our citizens are denied basic rights inside the womb."
 
Miriam Soto of Young Chicanos for Life says, "One reason Latinos don't support Senator Obama is because of his radical views on the issue of abortion.  Being a young Chicano mother, I refuse to show support to a candidate who promotes abortion up to the day of birth and who thinks a baby is a punishment instead of a precious gift."
