Sioux Center, IA -- Republican presidential candidate, Steve Forbes, outlined his pro-life plan of action before an overflow audience of 160 attendees at Dordt College saying, "If we recognize the joy of life and persuade our neighbors and friends, we can reach our goal."

Recognizing that some Republicans are urging the GOP to "tone down or abandon" its pro-life plank, Forbes said, "I don't think we should abandon our goal of the Life Amendment."  Strong applause interrupted his remarks.

Forbes noted that the first picture of many newborns is now the sonograms -- an image that clearly shows, "a separate soul and a separate being."

Mr. Forbes's speaking engagement was hosted by the Sioux Land Association for Public Justice and the audience was comprised of college students and local activists.
