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.
Click here to send a message to your Senators to reject this pro-abortion radical nominee: http://capwiz.com/sbalist/issues/alert/?alertid=14442836&msource=c4alerts
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”
Tell your Senators to reject Dawn Johnsen: http://capwiz.com/sbalist/issues/alert/?alertid=14442836&msource=c4alerts

Important update on the health care battle in Washington, D.C.
Hi all. I received this email from Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D., President & CEO of Americans United for Life (AUL). Please take a few moments to read this important letter.
Dear Friend,
I want to update you this morning on the health care battle here in Washington, D.C.
The debate on Capitol Hill is reaching a boiling point. The Democratic leadership in Congress has elected to bypass the accepted conference process – where both Houses of Congress work together to craft a final bill – and are instead working out a secret deal behind closed doors.
Many of us don’t like what politicians do when we can see them, let alone what happens when we can’t.
While the House-passed bill includes the Stupak-Pitts amendment (which prohibits taxpayer funding of abortions), the Senate-passed bill subsidizes insurance plans that cover abortions and, for the first time in history, could allow the federal government to require private insurance plans to cover abortions. With the pro-abortion Democratic leadership calling the shots, the final bill is bound to mirror the Senate’s version.
Thomas Jefferson once said, “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”
And this is exactly what is at stake here, along with thousands (and perhaps millions) of babies’ lives which currently hang in the balance.
Americans United for Life’s legal team is working tirelessly to ensure that every member of Congress understands the deviously-written abortion language in the Senate bill and knows that this language is contrary to what the vast majority of Americans want.
A recent national Quinnipiac University poll found that 72% of voters don’t want public funding for abortion in the bill, and yet Congress continues to ignore the will of the American people.
Last week, AUL Staff Counsel Mary Harned briefed Capitol Hill staff members on the problems with the Senate bill. She presented some must-see charts on Abortion in Health Care which you can see by clicking here: http://action.aul.org/site/R?i=sL2SshOwdadSb8gIemMKZA..and here http://action.aul.org/site/R?i=FXSkqUYZuOkMT6hdhfC6Ag...
I know that there is much more to be done.
I also know that this fight is far from over, and if we all continue to put pressure on Washington, we will win this battle for life.
And, on that note, I want to remind you that we have a major opportunity coming up next week. The national March for Life in Washington, D.C. takes place on January 22nd, and we would love to hear from you if you are planning on attending.
Finally, we are working on an exciting new project that will give you the opportunity to participate in the March for Life, even if you cannot make it to D.C., so stay tuned for more information over the next few days.
As always, thank you for your generous and faithful support, which helps us to defend life here in Washington, D.C., across the United States, and around the world.

Stupak Condemns Amendment
I personally hope that the Health Care Bill as it stands does not pass, because even with a good Pro-Life amendment that prevents tax payer funded abortions, it has so much else that is wrong with it that would be very bad for America. But if it is inevitable that the bill pass, then AT LEAST let it include an amendment that clearly and absolutely prevents tax payer funding of abortion, and this is what I prefer to tell our Senators.
The Stupak-Pitts Amendment is the only one that prevents tax payer funded abortions. Therefore, please see this important message and take a few moments to follow the link and sign the letter to your Senators. The following letter is from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List. She said:
The Senate approved an end to the debate on the Manager's Amendment that finalizes abortion funding in the Senate Health Care Reform Bill. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) praised the Senate bill, describing it as having "abortion language that is completely different from the House -- thank God."
One thing is clear to me. Nancy Pelosi sees the chance to replace the pro-life Stupak-Pitts Amendment in the House with the pro-abortion Manager's Amendment.
Tell your Senators and Representative to oppose any bill that includes this pro-abortion Manager's Amendment:
http://www.sba-list.org/c.ddJBKJNsFqG/b.5424609/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?aid=13545&msource=c4alerts
Bart Stupak (D-MI) called the Manager's Amendment "unacceptable" and said, "We are going to hold firm and make sure that the Stupak-Pitts language stays when this amendment is brought back to us. We will not vote for the bill if that language is not there."
If Nancy Pelosi strips the Stupak Amendment out of the House Health Care Reform Bill and dares Bart Stupak to defeat the bill on the final vote, we need him to know that we have been with him every step of the way.
Go here to tell your elected Members of Congress that anything less than the Stupak-Pitts Amendment is unacceptable:

Fuzzy language - Video: The Truth About the Senate Bill
Hi all,
Please read this brief email I received from Emily Buchanan, Executive Director, Susan B. Anthony List, and see the VIDEO included that helps to further cut through the slick language used to hide abortion funding in health care legislation. Ms. Buchanan writes:
George,
Fuzzy language.
Wild Claims.
And lots of loopholes.
This is what we've been dealing with in the debate on abortion in health care.
We know that part of the strategy of those pushing health care reform is to use vague and confusing language to pass the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe.
Take a look at Marjorie's most recent video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUVW1z3BB70&msource=c4alerts) to see exactly how they are doing that in the Senate.
Then forward the video to your friends and family to encourage them to take action.
We can't let Congress sneak taxpayer funded abortions into health care with fuzzy language.
Sincerely,
Emily Buchanan
Executive Director, Susan B. Anthony List

Abortion in health care legislation? "Don't worry about it." says Rep. Eric J.J. Massa (NY-29)
Hi everyone,
I received this email from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List. She speaks about the attitude of a certain Rep., pertaining to the concern Pro-Life people have about the danger of abortion coverage in the new health care legislation. Here is what she writes:
Don't worry about it.
That's what Rep. Eric J.J. Massa (NY-29) tells his constituents when it comes to abortion in health care legislation.
In a letter to an SBA List activist, he said, "I would invite you to assess HR3200 on its merits, without this decision swinging on the issue of abortion."
He thought that he would allievate the concerns of a pro-life constituent by asking her to ignore the issue?
Does he think we will just go away?
I have news for him and all the other Members of Congress who think this issue may just go away.
In this, our battle with the proponents of the culture of death, we will never, ever stop fighting to protect the unborn!
We will fight them on health care. We will fight them in the courts. We will fight them in political campaigns. We will fight them in Congress. We will fight them in the media. And we will never stop fighting them while even one innocent life is threatened.
Even mainstream news outlets recognize that the abortion issue is refusing to go away. The New York Times ran an article titled, "Abortion Fight Complicates Debate on Health Care." And it certainly has! Now, the issue of abortion is now one of the main reasons Obama's plan for radical health care overhaul is slipping away.
Over the past few months, this issue has been our top priority and top spending item. With a month to go until the vote, we know the attempt to put abortion funding in health care reform is running on fumes and frankly so is the SBA List.
Through your past support, you have helped build the reach and power of the Susan B. Anthony List so that at this time, when we are facing the greatest assault on unborn life and women since Roe, we can leverage all of our time, talent, and resources to win this battle.
God bless you and your family.

Show your friends and family what’s at stake in the health care reform battle
In an email I received from Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D. President & CEO of Americans United for Life (AUL), the following information is provided for material developed by legal experts at AUL to help show what’s at stake in the health care reform battle. At the following link you can download the “Understand the Abortion Mandate” chart to see how all the health care reform bills currently in Congress would mandate abortion funding.

Premature baby allowed to die in a hospital in England, while mother watched
This is from an email I received from Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life. It is outrageous and is the kind of thing we could expect to see more of even in America if the "health care reform" is passed without explicit language against coverage of abortions. As Fr. frank wrote:
"If Congress passes "health care reform" without explicit protections for vulnerable human beings,
...it will institutionalize the culture of death in America!
Have you heard about Sarah Capewell and her son Jayden? You need to because their story is the story of what could happen to countless thousands of tiny boys and girls in America.
Not long ago Jayden Capewell was born prematurely at a hospital in Gorleston, England. At the time of his birth he was but 21 weeks, five days old and weighed just a few ounces.
But rather than give Jayden the medical care he needed in order to live - or even transfer him to a hospital that could take care of him - the doctors and nurses did nothing to help him because little Jayden was TWO DAYS under the limit set by the British government's National Health Service (NHS) rationing guidelines.You can just picture Jayden's mother frantically crying out for someone to help her baby. But no one did.
So for two hours Sarah rocked her tiny little boy ... until he finally died in her arms.
Make no mistake:
That scene will be repeated in hospitals all across America if health care reform passes without significant revisions!"
