Won’t Be Silenced!

While it is — in an odd way — a compliment to be targeted by Planned Parenthood, NOW and NARAL; it is also humbling.

Their attacks on my veracity, my intelligence, even the name of the SBA List are one thing. Being followed by undercover guys with cameras and “tweeted” vile comments after media appearances are another.

Much of this seeps through to our children. It is impossible to avoid now that they are older. I say this not to engender sympathy, but so you understand how our opponents operate.

When they feel a threat, there seems to be no limit to what they are willing to say or do to quash their “enemies.”

You and I don’t operate like that.

We will state our case firmly, and defeat them fairly at the ballot box and in the legislatures. We won’t lie. We won’t attack people personally.

That is the “human center” of this movement and is why we succeed in the long run.

We know that every life is precious, and our primary goal must be to defend the dignity of human life.

I implore you to remain constant through the attacks from the abortion lobby. They will treat us like their “enemies,” but we cannot take the bait. Our focus must stay on our goal of ending the torture and murder of the unborn.

That’s exactly what we’re trying to do at this very moment in Congress and in state legislatures and it’s exactly why they want to distract and demoralize us.

These babies are the most vulnerable and have no one to stand up for them. We can’t allow the abortion lobby’s attacks to make us back down or walk away. Our mission is too important, and we’re too close. The trial of Gosnell has presented us with an incredible opportunity to truly expose the horrors of abortion and bring true justice for Gosnell’s victims.

As we seize this opportunity, the attacks will get more savage, and I fully accept that reality because I know — that with the help of my family and friends like you at SBA List — I can persevere.

And, for every time that they say that I hate women or try to discredit me for respecting all life, we have to respond. We’ll have to launch campaigns to show that we won’t be cowed their attacks, and if we remain silent, the pro-abortion lobby wins.

Higher Rates of Breast Cancer

Younger Women Face Higher Rates of Breast Cancer Thanks to Abortion
Scientific studies from around the world show that younger women, specifically those between the ages of 25 and 39, are increasingly being diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer—which has often spread further in the body by the time of diagnosis. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/14/younger-women-face-higher-rates-of-breast-cancer-thanks-to-abortion/

Urge Support

Members of Congress are telling me they are not getting enough calls from pro-lifers.

Can you please take just 30 seconds to call your Representative and urge them to support the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act?

Remember, the bill is scheduled to hit the floor next week, but pro-abortion politicians are desperately trying to stop it.

We need to pass this in the House and then force a vote in the Senate. We’ll get vulnerable Senators who are up for re-election in 2014 on record, and continue to build the case for this bill. Remember, the ban on partial-birth abortion was a long fight. We need to be strong coming out of the gate.

Please, make your call right now before your Representative leaves for the weekend.
Thank you!!!

Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, Susan B Anthony List

 

Flag Day and Father’s Day

“The flag is a symbol of the laws of our country as man….fathers are to be the  teachers of the laws of God.   Just as our Father in heaven teaches us and protects us, our fathers here on earth are to raise us with love and respect so that our children become responsible Americans who respect and uphold our rights and freedoms.
I know that patriotism and fatherhood involve much more than what is said here, but the foundations are simple.  Both patriotism and fatherhood have strong rewards and consequences.  On Flag Day and Father’s Day….a good combination, by the way….we salute the fathers that try to make the right decisions and both handle the consequences and reap the rewards!”

Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

Yesterday at a press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants in the womb, moments before birth. As a practicing Catholic, Nancy Pelosi knows full well there’s no moral difference between the atrocities of Kermit Gosnell and abortions in the womb.
She also knows that politics has everything to do with it: The bill she is trying to shut down – the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act — would protect these babies and women from the pain of late-term abortion. Pelosi’s refusal to answer shows how scared she and the pro-abortion lobby are of the bill, which is exactly why they are trying to shut it down. They’ve seen the same polling we have: The majority of Americans reject late-term abortion. The bill is scheduled to hit the House floor next week – but it won’t if Pelosi and the pro-abortion lobby have their way. In fact, NARAL just sent out a national action alert urging their members to call their Representative and demand that the bill is not brought to the floor of the House. , that’s why am asking you to do one very simple thing: 

Take just 30 seconds to call your Representative and urge them to vote for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. 

By clicking on the link above, you’ll be provided with the name and phone number of your Representative, and 5 very simple talking points to use when you talk to the staffer who answers.

Remember, this bill is scheduled to hit the floor next week, and you can bet that Pelosi and the pro-abortion lobby will do anything to stop it!
