American Life League's Airborne Banner to Spread Pro-Life Message above Detroit 6/28/2006 10:05:00 AM To: State Desk, Legal Reporter Contact: Amber Dolle of American Life League, 540-903-9572 or ADolle@ALL.org WASHINGTON, June 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by American Life League: "American Life League will be eagerly taking a 100 percent pro-life message to the skies above Detroit today," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "With this kind of pro- life aerial support it will certainly be hard to escape the truth that abortion kills." The banner, pulled by a small plane, simply reads, "Face It- Abortion Kills!" It will sail through the skies during today's International Freedom Day in Detroit. In all, the 60-foot banner will be flown for four hours in order to allow thousands of onlookers an opportunity to see the message. "Michigan is fighting its very own battle for life right now as activists are working to enact a state constitutional amendment that defines personhood as beginning at conception," said Brown. "With the July 10 petition deadline just around the corner, today's pro-life aerial banner will certainly help to keep the issue of abortion in the forefront of people's minds." Pro-lifers have until July 10 to obtain enough signatures to add the proposed state constitutional amendment to the November ballot. If sufficient signatures are gathered and Michigan voters approve the measure in the fall, Michigan will become the first state to contain totally protective pro-life language in its state constitution. "It is our prayer that today's banner campaign will be a stark reminder to the people of Michigan that thousands of children die every single day at the hands of abortionists," said Brown. "Michigan has the opportunity to pass a law that will stop this tragedy from claiming even more innocent lives. It is time to do the right thing and put an end to the heinous act of abortion." -0- /© 2006 U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/
