CHICAGO, Nov.16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pro-Life Action League announces a press conference and protest in front of the Planned Parenthood on 1200 N LaSalle Dr in Chicago, at 10 a.m., Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
 
Press Conference and Protest Details---
 
When: Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:00 a.m.
 
What: Chicago's new "bubble zone" ordinance goes into effect Tuesday, which prohibits pro-lifers from coming within eight feet of any person approaching an abortion facility.

• Wrongful death due to bleeding from a careless abortion procedure
• Perforation of the uteri of several women during abortion procedures
• Misdiagnosis of pregnancy and age of the unborn child
• Careless performance of blood tests and follow-up care
 
Where: Planned Parenthood – Near North facility, 1200 N LaSalle Dr, Chicago, Ill.
 
Who:  Dozens of protesters are expected to be outside Planned Parenthood with picket signs.
 
A press conference organized by the Pro-Life Action League will include the following speakers:
• Joe Scheidler, National Director, Pro-Life Action League
• Julie Grisalano, Sidewalk counselor at Planned Parenthood
• Catherine Mieding, Sidewalk counselor
