for this month. |
 | 2002-JUN-27: Two abortion groups decide to stop inflammatory statements: Bill Baird, director of the Pro-Choice League, released a joint statement that he and the Rev. Frank Pavone, founder of Priests for Life, had signed. It condemns the usage of dehumanizing language in the dialogue over the issues of abortion and birth control. Baird said: "We both feel the demonizing of people on the opposite sides is the precursor to violence. Before you kill someone, you call them names." At the request of organizers of the National Right to Life Convention, Fr. Pavone declined to appear with Bill Baird. However, he did send Baird a letter which repeated his support for peace. 11 |
