Contact: Joseph Landry, 904-687-9804

WASHINGTON, April 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- On Good Friday, April 10, at 12:00 Noon, DC area Pro-life leaders and activists will protest at the White House (gathering in the Northwest quadrant of Lafayette Park) to denounce President Obama's speech at Notre Dame's commencement on May 17, and the proposed change in "conscience regulations" regarding abortion referrals and dispensing Plan B, etc.

GRAPHICS: Protests will include people wearing "Obama masks" (a rubber costume mask) with "stage blood" (fake) on the face and hands, while "Obama" holds a sign that says: "Notre Dame: Thank you for confirming me!"

Randall Terry States:

"Our primary goal is two-fold: First, to create such a nationwide political mud pit for President Obama to wade through over the next six weeks that he decides it is too big a political liability to speak at Notre Dame.  Second, to insure that Notre Dame President Jenkins is dismissed, and replaced by someone who will defend Life, and obey Catholic teaching.

"Our secondary goal is two-fold: First, to create such a firestorm that no other Catholic School commits this treachery in the foreseeable future. Second, to so tar President Obama with the blood of the innocent that he cannot seduce the Catholic and Evangelical vote in 2012, as he did in 2008.

"President Obama -- God forgive him -- has already proved himself to be the most pro-abortion President in our history. He is funding abortion in Africa and forced abortion in China; he is funding the creation and destruction of innocent life for 'science;' and he is in the process of trying to coerce Catholic Health Care institutions and workers into being his agents of death by altering the conscience regulations for those receiving federal money.

"This is 'the perfect storm' for the pro-life movement. We intend to seize this opportunity to expose President Obama's agenda for what it is -- the death of the defenseless."
