Sonia Sotomayor and Abortion: Pro-life Protests at Supreme Court and Elsewhere

Sonia Sotomayor and Abortion: Pro-life Protests at Supreme Court and Elsewhere against Sotomayor July 11-14. Catholics Beg D.C. Archbishop Wuerl to Withhold Communion from Catholic Senators who Vote for Sotomayor

Protests will include "Sotomayor lookalike," with a grim reaper sickle; child coffins with "dead children" inside, and more.

(Full schedule below.)

WASHINGTON, July 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Randal Terry:

Schedule of events:

1) Saturday, July 11, 5:00 P.M., St. Matthews Cathedral

Vigil outside of St. Matthew's Cathedral, (1725 Rhode Island Ave NW Washington, DC 20036 Washington D.C.) pleading with Archbishop Wuerl to withhold communion from Catholic Senators who vote to confirm Sotomayor.

We will be joined by Norma McCorvey, the former "Jane Roe" of Roe vs. Wade.

2) Sunday, July 12 Vigils, St. Matthew's Cathedral.

Mass Times: 8:30, 10:00, 11:30, 1:00.

3) Supreme Court Protest. Sunday, July 12, 2:30 P.M.

Rally in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, calling on pro- life Senators to filibuster Sotomayor.

4) July 13-15, daily protests in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Each day will have a different theme.

On Monday, a Sotomayor look alike will parade around with a "Sickle of Death," showing Sotomayor's support of the slaughter of unborn children. There will also be child coffins holding "dead babies."

Randall Terry States:

"We are tired of Senators using unborn babies to seduce pro-lifers before elections - taking pro-lifers' volunteer labor, money, and votes - only to cast us and the babies aside like an embarrassing mistress after an election. It is disgusting.

"Any pro-life Senator who votes for Sotomayor is turning their back on unborn children and continuing this holocaust. They can't say, 'I want to overturn Roe,' and then confirm a Supreme Court Judge who will uphold Roe. To do so is hypocrisy, cowardice, and treachery of the first order.

"But it is not enough to vote against Sotomayor; pro- life Senators from both parties must filibuster her. Whether they win or lose, it is a battle worth fighting for the sake of innocent children."

ALSO: More protests will occur next week against Sotomayor in various cities across the nation.
