Educators, Students, Pro-Life Leaders to Demonstrate Today Against the NEA's Abortion Advocacy



As the National Education Association holds its annual meeting in San Diego, a caucus of that meeting will demonstrate against the pro-abortion platform of the NEA in San Diego and in state capitals throughout the nation.

Organized by Pro-Life Educators and Students (PLEAS), the national pro-life network opposes an NEA Resolution on Family Planning (Res. I-16) first adopted in 1985 that states:
“The National Education Association supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom. The Association urges the government to give high priority to making available all methods of family planning to women and men unable to take advantage of private facilities. The Association also urges the implementation of community-operated, school-based family planning clinics that will provide intensive counseling by trained personnel. (1985, 1986)”
Pro-Life Educators and Students urge the NEA adopt a neutral stance on abortion.

The demonstration in Columbia, S.C., will take place in front of the State House on Gervais, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
