An advocate for life hopes lawmakers will respond to a group of pro-lifers when they head to Washington, DC, in the wake of the New Year.
Heartbeat International is planning to return to Washington with its "Babies Go to Congress" event, which will take place after the March for Life next month to highlight the importance of pregnancy crisis centers and to promote the right to life.
Norma Murakami of A Women's Care Center in Chino Hills, California, says pregnancy centers and the pro-life presence in the nation's capital always threaten the abortion industry.
Norma Murakami"They're open for business to help these girls, and women and men make decisions to keep their babies. Well, what that does is it really hurts the pocketbook of Planned Parenthood and family planning," she explains. "They know that; the abortion industry knows that."
When pro-life advocates meet with members of Congress on January 25, 2011, Murakami hopes she will be able to speak with pro-abortion legislators.
"It was proven this last election that there is a wave across the country. Really, people do not want abortion; they don't think it's okay," she reports. "The secular media would like us believe it's okay [and that] the country is for it."
Murakami says she is privileged to represent California, and she hopes the state will change its mind on the issue of abortion.
