Here’s a sample bulletin announcement your church is welcome to use:
Rally in Harrisburg Monday, March 12 (Capitol Rotunda, 2:30pm) – New legislation (House Bill 2050, Senate Bill 1050) would improve Pennsylvania by prohibiting by law an abortion of any child solely due to a diagnosis of possible Down syndrome. The lead sponsors of this legislative effort – Speaker of the House Mike Turzai, State Representative Judy Ward and State Senator Scott Martin – are formally announcing this legislation at a rally in the State Capitol Rotunda on Monday, March 12th. Opponents are already mobilizing against this common sense legislation – all the more reason why we want to fill the Rotunda with people who support this effort. Questions?
