On April 1, 2006 the Delaware Pro-Life Coalition is holding their annual anti-choice conference in Clayton, DE. On their website, the Pro-Life Coalition talks a good game about being a vehicle for educational efforts, but their mission is much more sinister than that. Through their politics and rhetoric, they have committed themselves to a fascist campaign of gaining full control of women's bodies, choices, and lives.

As an associate of the American Life League, the Delaware Pro-Life Coalition has acknowledged that it embraces any tactics that will help them reach their goal of ending all forms of abortion, without any exceptions made for the health and life of the mother or rape or incest. According to the People for the American Way, the American Life League helped to make the use of aggressive and disruptive tactics targeted at reproductive health clinics and providers commonplace. These tactics include clinic blockades and the systematic harassment and intimidation of patients, clinics and doctors, as well as the practice of "sidewalk counseling."

Groups like the Delaware Pro-Life Coalition and their associates in the American Life League have been sent a clear message by the Bush administration that they have free reign to do as they please when it comes to the issue of abortion. The Bush administration has made it abundantly clear that they will stop at nothing less than overturning Roe v. Wade and taking away a woman's right to decide what is best for her and her body. From the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, to nominating scores of anti-choice judges to lifetime seats on the federal bench, reimposing the global gag rule - barring U.S. aid to international family planning programs that provide counseling on abortion, and shifting funds toward dangerous abstinence-only education programs Bush and Co. could not be sending a clearer message.

In this time of tremendous threats to reproductive freedom, it is imperative that all people stand up, and say: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We must organize and fight back against groups like the Delaware Pro-Life Coalition.

To that end, we are calling on everyone who believes in reproductive and sexual freedoms to join us in Claymont and give these anti-choice fascists HELL!

Philadelphia Anti-Racist Action is calling for a demonstration outside of the Delaware Pro-Life Coalition's annual convention. We will be meeting up at 11:30AM, outside the Kmart in the Tri-State Mall (333 Naamans Road) and then proceeding to the hotel as a group at 12PM to proclaim our support for reproductive rights and sexual freedom in the face of this anti-choice organizing.

We will not stand idly by while fascists organize in our community and try to take away our rights! Let's stand together against this fascist threat!

See you on April 1st...

In solidarity,
Philadelphia Anti-Racist Action
