The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department has forbidden a pro-life gathering and chalk display during Inauguration Week – and now the group is fighting back with a lawsuit against the District of Columbia.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said the department is banning the event because of its message.
"For over 16 years, law enforcement officials have given permission to the Christian Defense Coalition to use public 'sidewalk chalking' as a part of their demonstrations and vigils in the nation's capitol. The City of Washington, D.C., has also allowed numerous public 'chalk art displays' throughout the city," he said in a statement. "It is therefore most troubling that for the first time the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department is banning this practice when it involves a pro-life display in front of the White House."
Thursday, Jan. 22, marks the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since 1974, pro-life activists have gathered in Washington, D.C., each year to protest the decision and call attention to millions of lives lost.

guess they didn’t get the message
“We will see more and more of this under Obama.”
Yes, sadly we probably will, especially since he’s talked about creating a “national police force,” which will undoubtedly be used to crush all dissent.
What were people thinking when they voted for this guy??? Oh, I know! About THEMSELVES!!!!
“Oh well, I wasn’t using that civil liberty anyway.”
“I hope this was not the kind of change President Obama was talking about.”
Of course this was the change he was talking about. Do people really not get this?
Exactly! People somehow want to believe that “change” is always for the better.
Yep. Times are a changin’ very quickly. Only pro-o messages will be authorized. By the way, who did he appoint as Minister of Propaganda?
I don’t think that the next four years are going to be good ones for babies. The people haters are in charge now. Sad.
We will have to watch carefully how the Obama administration deals with the March for Life on Thursday,January 22nd.The Clintons treated the peaceful pro-life marchers as terrorists.We are certainly going to miss President Bush very quickly.
Get with the program dudes... it is only free speech if the one(s) speaking have a “D” after his/her/their names.
How NAZIistic (and anti-1st Amendment) of them!..
Pray for Him (for his salvaton), then wisdom, but DO NOT BACK OFF DISAGREEMENT WITH THIS ILLIGITIMATE PREZ!
