Washington, DC, has seen visits from pro-lifers this week.

Protestors are urging Congress to halt passage of the healthcare reform proposals because they use tax dollars to underwrite abortion. One of the demonstrators has been Norma McCorvey, who was "Roe" in the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. McCorvey and other pro-lifers visited the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California), but got no further than an aide. "We had a plastic coffin of the little plastic babies smeared with fake blood to give this woman a visual description of what we were talking about," she explains. Then each demonstrator sent a message to Pelosi through the aide. "What I said was that Nancy Pelosi, since I'm a Catholic [like Pelosi], should not receive Holy Communion because she's pro-abortion," McCorvey adds, "and she doesn't deserve to receive the Holy Eucharist since she believes in killing children." McCorvey is urging people on a local level to stage demonstrations against the healthcare bill at home offices of members of Congress because they soon will take their August break.
