Dr. Alveda King – “The Dream” Is Not Yet Fulfilled
Date: November 11, 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece
of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said today that the struggle for unborn
children’s civil rights will continue.
“The election of an African American president sends a powerful and historic
message that what was previously unthinkable can become reality,” said Dr. King.
“The battle for equal rights has reached a major milestone, but Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.’s dream of full equality remains just a dream as long as unborn
children continue to be treated no better than property.”
“President-elect Obama has promised actions that will only increase the number
of abortions. Pro-lifers, in turn, must promise to redouble our efforts to
resist anti-life proposals, speak up for the babies, and, above all, pray,”
added Dr. King. “We must pray with persistence and love that, in God’s time,
what is now deemed unthinkable will become reality – that all our brothers in
sisters, from conception to natural death, will be protected in law and welcomed
in society. The elections are over. The pro-life battle begins anew.” Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic
pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more
