When it comes to promoting abortion, pro-life champion Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, has seen it all. Well, almost.
The lighting of New York’s One World Trade Center and other state landmarks in pink by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to celebrate passage of new rights allowing abortions until birth crossed a line for him.
On May 4, Focus on the Family is answering back by taking over many of the Jumbotrons at Times Square to show a real-time, 4D ultrasound of a third-trimester baby in a challenge to the legislation and celebration of abortion that followed.
We’re just 1 month away from #AliveFromNewYork, the largest pro-life event in @FocusFamily & Times Square history. I hope you’ll join us on May 4th @ 2:30pm as we celebrate life, hear from inspiring speakers & #SeeLifeClearly w/ a live 3D/4D ultrasound! https://t.co/Z9lBqmsTUs

“The reason for was Gov. Cuomo and his lighting of the trade center in pink to celebrate a woman’s right to choose,” Daly said.
In an interview, he said up to 10,000 supporters — in addition to Planned Parenthood protesters — are expected to jam Times Square for the group’s “Alive From New York,” a play on Saturday Night Live’s weekly intro.

Many of the details are hush-hush because they are still being negotiated. But several keynote speakers are expected to talk down late-term abortion and talk up adoption. Focus had hoped to get permits for the event on Mother’s Day, but they were already taken so it chose the weekend before.
“We hope once people see this that they will think twice about having it,” he said in reference to a late term abortion.
