LOS ANGELES, July 6, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A pro-life youth organization held a sit-in demonstration today outside the campaign offices of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, not only to protest her radical support for abortion, but to train future leaders of the pro-life movement.
"Hillary has a radical pro-abortion agenda. Our generation has seen enough women hurt and enough children killed, and we are not going to support a candidate who stands for the killing of unborn children and the scarring of women and families," Kortney Blythe, spokeswoman for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, told LifeSiteNews.com.
The Survivors, a Christian pro-life organization that educates high school and college age youth in pro-life activism, held the 1 PM protest in front of Clinton's campaign offices at 600 Lafayette Park Rd. in downtown Los Angeles.
"It's not just Senator Clinton, it's any pro-abortion candidate whether Democrat or Republican or whatever," said Blythe. "If they support abortion, we want to be there to show what they support."
Over 40 youth ages 14 - 30 from all over the United States participated in the sit-in protest as part of learning the ins and outs of pro-life activism from the June 27-July 8 Survivors annual leadership training camp in southern California.
Blythe said the new pro-life leaders will have experience defending the pro-life position, running events, and knowing their rights as activists after leaving the camp. Participants gained knowledge and experience by discussing the pro-life position, side-walk counseling, viewing the "Show the Truth" display, assisting at a maternity home and by participating in various demonstrations.
Survivors will plan more demonstrations for the future, Blythe says, but the real effect of Friday's protest will be felt when these 40 youth return as pro-life leaders for their hometowns.
"We have people from our camp from all over the United States, and they'll be going out back to their home bases. We've taught them how to run an event, so they'll be putting on their own events when politicians or pro-abortion leaders show up in their town."
The main issue for the Survivors is that Senator Clinton and other pro-abortion politicians state that they want to protect women and children, but "fail to represent the 50 million that have been violently killed by abortion and the ones that will continue to be killed by legal abortion."
"We hope to let them know that they're not going to get the support of a generation that has seen the effect of abortion," Blythe firmly stated. "That's seen 1/3 of their generation killed by abortion and seen their friends and family hurt because of abortion. We're not going to support them, not going to vote for them, and not going to let them pretend like they care for women."

Can’t wait to see the report on this by major news outletts!
Is that crickets I hear?
Kortney Blythe, spokeswoman
The poor young lady. What were her parents thinking?
Speaking of Hillary, did anyone notice Hillary was on Entertainment Tonight/The Insider the other day?
And she complimented the woman interviewer on her shoes, and said one thing people don’t know is how she has struggled with diets. Hillary has diet issues, how about that.
I mention this because Hillary rarely goes on serious shows like Meet the Press.
But she will do a half baked Sopranos spoof and go on a light entertainment show?????
I think Hillary is afraid of unscripted moments.
and discussion of the serious issues.
Sorry, but once someone turns 18, they are an adult, not a youth.
Hitlery realizes that she CANNOT change the minds of politically informed people. They are either going to be in favor of her or opposed to her. So, she needs to go the "celebrity route" and try to appeal to the uninformed. What terrifies her is the fact that Fred Thompson is well known by even the politically uninformed and they like him.
“I think Hillary is afraid of unscripted moments.

You go guys!!!
Blessings.
Oh, good Lord. Those parents are just BEGGING Kortney to dance with a pole for a living.
“What’s the dumbest possible spelling of the most popular name this year?” they must ask themselves.
.
I see some FReepers are congenitally incapable of applauding anything that happens in CA, even a pro-life sit-in. No, they have to laugh at the spelling of a name.
How very profound.
I say this is outstanding. Even if it did happen in evil California.
Sheesh, people.
someday, we should do a freep in front of slick willie’s office in Harlem.
