From: PLAGAL One Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 12:00:16 EST Subject: PLAGAL Submission: Pro-Life Gays to March THE PRO-LIFE ALLIANCE OF GAYS AND LESBIANS Post Office Box 33292 Washington, DC 20033 Tel: (202) 223-6697 Fax: (202) 265-9737 Internet: Plagal One@aol.com For Further Information: 202-223-6697 MARCH FOR LIFE APPROACHES The Annual March for Life in protest of the 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, declaring abortion a constitutional right, will take place at Noon, January 22, 1998, beginning in the Ellipse just south of the White House. After several speeches, the March will proceed up Constitution Boulevard to the Supreme Court Building, after which participants will visit the offices of their Senators and Representatives in Congress. As we have done since 1991, PLAGAL will march. Members of the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians will gather at 11:30 A.M. before the statue of Benjamin Franklin in front of the Old Post Office, near the corner of Twelfth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest. We will then walk to the corner of Constitution Boulevard and Fifteenth Street, where we will join Feminists for Life, Democrats for Life, and other non-traditional pro-life groups for the March. As is our custom, at the top of Capitol Hill, we will stop in front of the Dirksen Senate Office Building and distribute flyers as the rest of the March goes by. By distributing these flyers, we hope to let other pro-lifers know the arguments that we as lesbian and gay pro-lifers have found most effective in advancing the pro-life cause in our community. Though Congress will not be in session on January 22nd, at 3:30 P.M. we are trying to arrange a meeting with one or more Congressional offices to present our particular spin on the universal pro-life message.
