Another Justice Ginsburg?

Oppose Sotomayor

July 9, 2009 Dear [real name removed], A few days ago, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave a very frank interview to the New York Times in which she stated that,“frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” In other words, Justice Ginsburg felt the sanctioning of government-funded abortion was appropriate as a population-control measure. It’s appalling to realize that these comments aren’t from a eugenicist like Margaret Sanger, but from a sittingSupreme Court Justice. Her comments paint a picture of the real impact the U.S. Supreme Court has on the lives of the most innocent among us, whether that be the unborn or other “undesirables” in society. On Monday, the U.S. Senate will begin the confirmation process for President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Given what we know about Sonia Sotomayor’s own judicial philosophy, including her support of policymaking from the bench, we must oppose her appointment to the United States Supreme Court. Click here to contact your Senators today and tell them to oppose Judge Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Sonia Sotomayor’s record of support for judicial activism and her work for the pro-abortion Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund offer little comfort that she will be a friend to the unborn on the Supreme Court. While Sotomayor served as a board member of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund, the group filed six briefs with the court advocating for unmitigated abortion on-demand. Multiple accounts tell us that the board closely monitored the fund’s work, and that Sotomayor was “an involved and ardent supporter of their various legal efforts.” (New York Times, May 28, 2009) This suggests a troubling record of disregard for the rights of the unborn, which Judge Sotomayor has admittedly not thought about. Please stand up for the unborn boys and girls today and tell your Senator to oppose Judge Sotomayor’s nomination. Thank you for your continued defense of the unborn boys and girls!

Dreams

Artificial sperm?

What is with this fascination with having kids the "normal" way? There are many kids waiting for adoption already.

'Nuff Said

What if what they really want is for us to herd children into stadiums like we're doing? And put soldiers on the street and - and have Americans looking over their shoulders? Bend the law, shred the Constitution just a little bit? Because if we torture him, General, we do that, and everything that we have bled and fought and died for is over, and they've won. They've already won!.

URGENT: Restore DC Abortion Funding Ban!

Saving Lives in the Capital

July 6, 2009
Dear subscriber,

Congress is on track to support President Obama’s decision to fund abortion with your tax dollars in the District of Columbia. Legislation is coming down the pike that weakens the Dornan amendment, a longstanding policy to restrict tax-funded abortions in our nation’s capital.

Tomorrow evening the House Appropriations Committee will have an opportunity to change this decision. Representatives Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) and Lincoln Davis (D-TN) will offer a bipartisan amendment to restore the ban on taxpayer funded abortions in the District of Columbia.

Please click here to contact key Members of the House Appropriations Committee and tell them to support the Tiahrt/Davis Amendment!

Why does this matter? Put simply, laws save lives. When the government isn’t subsidizing abortion on demand, we see fewer abortions.

Even the other side recognizes this. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, routinely issues reports showing that when public funding is not available, we see 30% fewer abortions among women who are eligible for Medicaid. That means at least 30% of babies whose mothers receive government subsidized health care survive because of abortion funding restrictions like the Dornan Amendment.

This is why it is so important that you act now to support this amendment. We can still save the lives of precious unborn children in the District of Columbia.

Click here now and contact these important Members of the Appropriations Committee and tell them pro-life laws like the Tiahrt/Davis Amendment save lives!

I urge you to consider forwarding this e-mail to as many friends and family members you can. We only have little more than 24 hours to send this urgent pro-life message to Congress.

Thank you all that you do for the unborn boys and girls!

For Life,

Marjorie Dannenfelser

SPLASH needs volunteers

The Society for Pro-Life Agnostics and Secular Humanists currently is only a Facebook page. However, ockraz wants...

This is what I'd like to see in the future:
-first, the stand alone webpage with info about being prolife as a secular position and media bias as well as updates on relevant news and 'actions' like writing to your representative when appropriate
-an FB pg with some actual traffic
-a discussion board and a blog
-letting all the atheist forums know that we're out there so as not to miss anyone
-polls of the members (to counter arguments such as: pro-lifers support the death penalty and oppose condoms)
-a core group that goes on liberal leaning blogs to make their presence known and which can help one another not to get "shouted down" by pro-choicers
-members writing essays or even editorials to papers
-web based campaigns which would include illustrations and even online videos targeting people who would typically view pro-lifers as fundamentalist nutjobs (one possibility might be an anti-domestic violence campaign that included abortion as another form of domestic violence)

I'll do what I can, but I'm not that good at web design, and I'm having some technical difficulties and technological restrictions.

It's a mad, mad world.

This should never have been necessary.

Today

Given the date, you're probably expecting me to say something about what was said about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinefs.

However, something important has come up.

Obama clarified that he supports concience protections, and removed Bush's protections because they were hasty last-minute shove-throughs.

Lets hope the repeal or the Dornan amendment, if it passes, has a similar explanation.

Contests

The contests ended over 24 hours ago. No submissions.

I gave you over a month.

I still have readers, right?

Google

Google is disallowing ads for abortuaries in seemingly random countries.

I guess their slogan is "Don't be evil.".

This post is not short because I'm lazy (okay, not entirely because I'm lazy); today is the deadline for both the slogan and the logo contests. Your time is precious.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but a company has no obligation to help the soliciting of killers-for-hire.

A few notices

Greetings all,

I've called Rep. Charlie Gonzalez about an hour ago and they were
not aware of this situation yet. Please call your congressperson
and request a follow-up!

"Cynthia McKinney & Spirit of Humanity Crew captured at sea!"
Cynthia McKinney, former Congresswoman and Green Party Presidential
Candidate along with the Free Gaza mission is captured and kidnapped
by Israel on the high seas!
Press Release here w/details:

ustice-boat-kidnaps-human-rights-workers-confiscates-medicine-toys-a
nd-olive-trees

The media is not covering this yet either. If you have contacts at
any media outlet, please pass this along.

202-224-3121 is the general switch board for the US Congress.

Please call/write to help the immediate release of all 21 members of
the Free Gaza mission.

President Obama told Israel to allow humanitarian and reconstruction
aid to enter the country and this is how Israel responds?

Update: Associated Press is reporting that Israel took the boat,
cargo, and passengers to Israel for searching and plan on releasing
the people to immigration. How can Israel capture people in
international waters and search them? Where is the enforcement of
international maritime law?

Sincerely,

Abortion is Not Health Care

July 1, 2009 Dear subscruer, I need you to act now to stop the biggest attempt to force taxpayer funded abortion on-demand on the American people. Please write your Representatives today and tell them to respect your conscience and explicitly prohibit taxpayer-funded abortion as a part of health care reform! All Pro-Life Americans must act today to save the lives of thousands of unborn boys and girls who will fall prey to abortions courtesy of our pro-abortion Congress and President. Lives that will be lost using your very own hard-earned tax dollars. President Obama has clearly stated that he supports taxpayer-funded abortions as part of his health care reform. In his speech to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in July of 2008, President Obama stated that in his mind "reproductive care is essential care, basic care, so it is at the center, the heart of the [health care] plan that I propose." When asked for clarification later, an Obama spokesman said that “reproductive care included abortion." In the current House health care reform bill, Nancy Pelosi and her pro-abortion friends have left the door open for Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and her unelected pro-abortion bureaucrats to define abortion as part of “reproductive care,” just as Hillary Clinton has already done at the State Department. We cannot allow pro-abortion legislators to leave this door open. Click here to tell your Representatives to explicitly ban taxpayer-funding of abortion as part of health care reform. Tell them you don't want your tax dollars to pay for abortions! And make sure you forward this e-mail to all your friends and family. We need to make sure every voice is heard in this fight. Thank you for all you do in the fight to protect unborn boys and girls. For Life, Marjorie Dannenfelser Susan B. Anthony List President 703-875-3370 www.sba-list.org P.S.
