*Grassroots Pro-Life Victory: Wal-Mart tells Planned Parenthood - Not in 
our Parking Lot*

*Washington, DC (27 June 2008)* - A Wal-Mart parking lot in Richland, 
Washington is the latest front-line in the battle against 
abortion-giant, Planned Parenthood.

At the request of hundreds of pro-lifers, the store cancelled an event 
in which Planned Parenthood would pass out information in the lot June 27.
American Life League sent out a press release June 26 to pro-lifers 
across the country informing them of this latest Planned Parenthood 
encroachment into neighborhood retailers.

"It's hard enough for parents to safeguard their children from Planned 
Parenthood's pervasive sexualized propaganda," said Marie Hahnenberg, a 
researcher with American Life League. "They shouldn't have to worry 
about exposing their kids to Planned Parenthood's aggressive agenda even 
in Wal-Mart's parking lot."

Local protests were led by Jim Toth, pro-life chairman of the Knight of 
Columbus for the state of Washington, and after reportedly hundreds of 
calls and e-mails, the store decided to cancel the event. 

 "We thank Wal-Mart for taking a stand against Planned Parenthood," 
Hahnenberg continued. "In the spirit of Sam Walton, Wal-Mart has put the 
best interest of its customers first and they are to be commended for 
their decision. We'd also like to especially congratulate Jim and the 
Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph Council in Kennewick, Washington, as 
well as the hundreds of pro-lifers across the country who responded with 
calls, prayers, and support."

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 press 
inquiries, please contact Katie Walker at 540.659.4942.
