*VICTORY! PLANNED PARENTHOOD TOLD TO STAY AWAY AFTER HUNDREDS OF CALLS 
FROM ALL SUPPORTERS*

*Vallejo, CA (31 July 2008)* -- Planned Parenthood was forced to stay 
away from a children's health and wellness event after American Life 
League supporters and local pro-life activists barraged event 
coordinators with phone calls and e-mails.

"We're committed to fighting Planned Parenthood wherever they are," said 
Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League. "We want to send a 
clear signal -- there will be zero tolerance when it comes to Planned 
Parenthood's campaign to sexualize children."

The nation's largest abortion chain was scheduled to have a booth at the 
'Vallejo Celebrates Youth' event geared toward grammar school children 
on Aug. 2. Children will learn about oral hygiene, literacy, and 
childhood obesity. They will no longer be learning about birth control, 
STDs and abortion.

Planned Parenthood has made a concerted effort to reach children 
recently through pornographic publications and web sites. The abortion 
giant targets children at events like the one sponsored by the Greater 
Vallejo Recreational District, with sex-related materials and birth control.

When American Life League heard of the events, the group contacted local 
activists and notified supporters. Within hours, hundreds of calls were 
placed to the GVRD who then decided to disinvite Planned Parenthood.

"The California pro-lifers, especially Ana Jaime are to be commended for 
their courageous work," Sedlak said. "The Greater Vallejo Recreational 
District has done the right thing by keeping Planned Parenthood as far 
away from children as possible."

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death. For more information or media 
inquiries, please contact Katie Walker at 540.659.4942.
