Senators Hear REAL Women's Voices.

Nearly 200 passionate pro-life women, flying into Washington, D.C. from as far away as San Francisco, ventured to our nation's capital to attend REAL Women's Voices, where they lobbied Congress and debunked the myth that a majority of women are pro-abortion. Over 1,200 more who were not able to come in person committed to joining "in spirit" by contacting senators.

On April 27 these citizen lobbyists trekked through the halls of the Senate office buildings, some for the first time in their lives, to speak with their senators and their aides on judicial nominations, human cloning, and other important pro-life legislation.

The National Right to Life Committee, the Susan B. Anthony List, Concerned Women for America, Silent No More Awareness, Eagle Forum, and the Family Research Council Action joined together to collectively sponsor the unprecedented effort to make pro-life women's voices heard.

The lobby day started early in the morning with a training session where Congresswomen Sue Myrick (R-NC) and Marilyn Musgrave (R-Col.) encouraged the women to persevere to have their voices heard for those without voices - - the unborn.

David Prentice, senior fellow for life sciences at the Family Research Council, offered a succinct overview that helped prepare the women to lobby for one of the key issues of the day - - the enactment of a complete ban on human cloning.

The women lobbyists learned that stem cells lethally extracted from human embryos have not cured a single human and run the risk of dangerous side effects, such as the production of tumors. Dr. Prentice explained that adult stem cells, the ethical alternative, have produced treatments for 58 different diseases in humans.

Dr. Prentice also stressed the distinction between the true cloning ban, the Brownback-Landrieu Human Cloning Prohibition Act (S. 658), and the most prominent phony ban, the "clone-and-kill" Hatch-Feinstein bill (S. 876).
