Pro Choice Protest at Right-to-Life Convention in Nashville


Please consider joining the ongoing protest outside the National Right to Life Convention here in Nashville.

The Directors of the Pro Choice League are here from New York and would love to have you join them outside the Sheraton Music City Hotel.

If you would like to contact the Pro Choice League directors, who are available and would love to come and speak with any of your groups or on any of your radio shows while they are here in Nashville through Sunday, email me.

Pasted below is an excerpt from an email alert from Nashville NOW:

I wanted to let folks know that the National Right to Life Convention is being held 6/22-6/24 here in Nashville at the Sheraton Music City Hotel, 777 McGavock Pike, Nashville, 37214.

Bill and Joni Baird, Directors of the the Pro Choice League, Inc. have come from NY to protest daily at the entrance to the hotel grounds. They will be there beginning Thursday and continuing daily through Saturday from 11:30 to 1:30. I stopped and talked with them today during my lunch hour.

They would welcome any of you who would like to join their daily protest/vigil. Bill has his trademark 8-foot wooden cross inscribed "Free Women from the Cross of Religious Oppression - Keep Abortion Legal".

He said that one of his goals as he meets the attendees at the convention is to get them to recognize that they can reduce the number of abortions by supporting birth control.

Here is an article from Planned Parenthood about the Pro Choice League and Bill's years of fighting to keep abortion and birth control legal and available.
