Silencing Pro-Lifers ...

Hi all,

I received this email from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List. Please visit the link provided and take a few moments to send the already prepared letter to your Senators.
The messages is as follows (emphasis mine):

Dear George,

It is clear from the actions of the National Organization for Women that pro-abortion leaders would like nothing better than to silence pro-lifers.

But attempting to silence people like Tim Tebow who have the courage to voice their pro-life convictions is nothing new. And no one is quite as experienced at it as Dawn Johnsen.

In 1988, attorney Dawn Johnsen argued that the Catholic Bishops needed to choose between either having the Catholic Church stripped of its tax-exempt status as a religious organization or keeping their opposition to abortion to themselves. The Catholic Bishops defeated Dawn Johnsen in the Supreme Court Case United States Catholic Conference v. Abortion Rights Mobilization.

After the case was concluded, Dawn Johnsen was rewarded for her legal work on the case by being granted the position of legal director of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), where she worked from 1988 – 1993. Now, President Barack Obama has re-nominated her to head up the Office of Legal Counsel and is pushing for the Senate to ratify her nomination this week.

Her radical views and statements on “abortion rights” are notorious:

-- Choosing life for a child is comparable to “involuntary servitude”

-- Pro-life activists use the “intimidation carried out by the Ku Klux Klan"

-- Being pregnant turns mothers into “fetal containers”

-- Conceiving a child is analogous to “being struck by drunk drivers”

-- Pro-abortion leaders should never portray “abortions as tragedies”

For Life,
