The day before and the day of the Roe v. Wade anniversary are usually the busiest days of the year for NRLC's Media Relations Department. This year was no exception.
On Monday, January 21, final preparations were being made for NRLC's press conference that would take place at 10:00 the following morning at the National Press Club. Copies of speeches for the press conference were being checked and double-checked to make sure everything was just right. Press releases, fact sheets, and statements were then inserted into the press kits to help make reporters' jobs easier.
A member of my staff was checking on final arrangements for the room setup with the Press Club's staff. Everything was almost ready and we felt good about our preparations.
Then, at 5:41 p.m., C-SPAN called.
The producer I spoke with said that they were coming to the press conference.
I'm always very happy when C-SPAN covers us. It has a well-earned reputation for neutrality, thus our explanation of NRLC's direction for 2002 would get to the public without that message being altered by passage through the typical pro-abortion filter.
We took a few minutes to go over the details about equipment and lighting.
