“The Birmingham Letter Project,” an anti-abortion initiative, is to be launched in Washington, D.C.,  Jan. 21-24, 2009 — the week of the inauguration for president-elect Barack Obama.

The project by the Christian Defense Coalition, was announced today in a Christian Newswire news release.

The statement said the focus of the project will be “to mobilize a public, prayerful and prophetic witness for life to challenge the radical pro-abortion policies of President-elect Barack Obama.”

The project will use the principles taught by Martin Luther King in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and the teachings of Scripture to unleash and empower the pro-life community to publicly stand against the horrific violence of abortion, the statement said.

“Sadly, America has elected the most pro-abortion President in America history.  It is clear that Mr. Obama will continue the tragic violence against our nation’s women and children which has resulted in over 50,000,000 abortions,” the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said in the prepared statement.
