The director of Citizens for a Prolife Society (CPLS) is
calling for all prolife advocates in mid and south Michigan to attend a protest
of former Texas Senator Wendy Davis at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser on
Monday, May 18, 2015. Davis will be the keynote speaker at the sold-out event,
which will begin at 11 a.m. at The Henry, a Marriott hotel located at 300 Town
Center Drive, Dearborn, Michigan.
Davis became nationally recognized for her prochoice stance
when she “filibustered for 13 hours to stop passage of a Texas law that would
ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy,” according to Dr. Monica Miller, the
director of CPLS and organizer of this protest.
“Substantial medical evidence demonstrates that unborn
children are capable of experiencing pain, certainly by 20 weeks after
fertilization,” according to a statement issued by National Right to Life
Committee, Inc. (NRLC). The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act “is legislation
which protects from abortion unborn children who are capable of feeling pain,” and
has already been passed in nine states. The law is pending in two states.
The House is voting on making the Pain-Capable Unborn Child
Protection Act a federal law this week, but even if it is passed, it is likely
that it will then be vetoed by the president. If it is vetoed, the law will
still be upheld in the states that have already passed it, but it would not
become the law of the land.
Monday’s protest is expected to last until 1:30 p.m.
