Please Join the NJ Pro-Life Community on Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 1 p.m. as We Stand In Solidarity with The Congressional Majority and President Bush in Calling for An End to Partial Birth Abortions
On Thursday, June 5, members of the Pro-Life Community will peacefully gather at 1 p.m. across the street from the Metropolitan Medical Center in Englewood, NJ while the U. S. Congress takes up the debate on Partial Birth Abortion. Directions to Metropolitan are included below. The US Senate has already passed a ban and President Bush said he will sign it.
We are horrified and disgusted that both New Jersey’s U.S. Senators Lautenberg and Corzine voted to keep this brutal form of infanticide legal in NJ. We thank members of the NJ Congressional delegation who have repeatedly stood with President Bush and the people of NJ and voted to ban partial birth abortion in the past. We call on every member of the NJ Congressional Delegation to say “No” to Partial Birth Abortion when it comes up for a vote this week by casting a vote in favor of H.R. 760, The Partial Birth Abortion Ban.

The partial birth abortion debate was changed in the United States when a September 15, 1996 Bergen Record story broke the news from an interview that the Metropolitan Medical Center in Englewood, NJ performs 1500 Partial Birth Abortions a year. (4 times a day). It went from being a very rare occasion to a very common occurrence. The vote in the US Senate changed when many legislators including US Senator Patrick Moynihan (D-NY), switched their votes to support the Ban on PBA calling it infanticide.
The Alan Guttmacher Institute has tripled their original estimates to 2200 times a year Nationwide. Doctors at Metropolitan Medical Associates stated that at least 1,500 are performed each year, with most performed on “healthy mothers of healthy babies.”
If these statistics are correct, New Jersey is responsible for performing an astronomical number of all Partial Birth Abortions in America in just one clinic alone.

Partial Birth Abortion is a cruel, horrific crime against innocent children and should never be tolerated in a civilized society. We will not sit idly by while women are maimed and their children brutalized in the guise of "health care." Please join us as we call for an end to partial birth abortion.
