Groups set up a 100 foot image of the number 71 on the Capitol grounds on October 2nd - the number
71 represents the percentage of people in a national Zogby poll that oppose taxpayer funded abortions.
The
display is to remind lawmakers to listen to the voice and wisdom of God and the American people and embrace human rights and
social justice.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, states, "Americans
intuitively know that abortion is not health care. They understand that health care should bring compassion, mercy and
healing to those in need not violence and despair.
"We are displaying this large 71 on the lawn
of the Capitol to remind lawmakers to listen to the voice and wisdom of the American people and embrace human rights and social
justice.
"It would be tragic for Congress to force the American faith community to pay for the killing
of innocent children through their tax dollars. The pro-life community will continue to be a loud and prophetic voice
speaking out against abortion in health care during this entire debate."
Brandi Swindell, Founder of
Generation Life and Director of Stanton Health Care, adds
"This display of 71 on the lawn of the United
States Capitol is a visual reminder of what the American people already know and embrace. That is, abortion is not health
care and public monies should never be used to crush human rights and diminish women.
"It is our hope
over the next several weeks that Congress will listen to the American people and ensure that not one penny of taxpayer money
will be used to pay for abortions."
