NYS Senator Rev. Ruben Diaz and NY Hispanic Clergy Organization to
Demonstrate Against Abortion at Dr. Emily’s

On Thursday, September 27, 2007 from 9:30am – 11:00am New York State
Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz (D-Bronx) will join the members of the New York
Hispanic Clergy Organization and Mr. Chris Slattery, organizer of Expectant
Mother Care in a demonstration against abortion. The demonstration, part
of 40 Days for Life, will take place in front of Dr. Emily’s Clinic – A
Bronx Women’s Medical Pavilion located at 560 Southern Boulevard, on the
corner of East 149th Street in The Bronx.

“We are joining with people of faith and conscience across American in a
national campaign to mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our
country,” stated Senator Rev. Diaz. “We hope and pray that our presence at
Dr. Emily’s South Bronx abortion clinic will send a powerful message to our
entire community about the tragic reality of abortion in our country and
reflect upon our daily responsibility to protect and care for all human
life.”

One of the founders and owners of Dr. Emily’s Clinic, a Bronx Women’s
Medical Pavilion, PC. is Dr. William Knorr, MD, an experienced practitioner
of partial-birth abortion. Dr. Knorr unsuccessfully challenged the Partial
Birth Abortion Act of 2003 as a petitioner in the United States Supreme
Court case Gonzales v. Cahart.

40 Days for Life is an intensive effort designed to raise awareness, save
lives, and bring healing to women who have been victimized by the abortion
industry. The campaign will be conducted simultaneously in locations
throughout the United States from September 26th - November 4th.
