The Pro-Lifer's State of the Union Address: What Obama Didn't Say About Abortion

1/28/2010

“…I promised I wouldn't just do what was popular. I would do what was necessary.” -- President Obama, State of the Union 2010

Mr. President, what you've done has been neither popular nor necessary.

Not a word was said, during last night’s State of the Unionaddress, about the administration's pro-abortion 'accomplishments.' But they are many.

In January, just days after taking office, Mr. Obama rescinded a policy to keep US money out of international clinics that promote and offer abortions. Early nominations to the administration included the attorney who fought to starve and dehydrate Terri Schindler Schiavo.

Scientists' Advance Further Renders Embryonic Stem Cell Research Obsolete

1/28/2010

Palo Alto, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Scientists have made a major breakthrough using the process known as direct reprogramming that further renders embryonic stem cell research obsolete. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have succeeded in transforming mouse skin cells directly into functional nerve cells.

With the application of just three genes, the new cells make the change without first becoming a pluripotent type of stem cell -- such as an embryonic stem cell.

That is a step long thought to be required for cells to acquire new identities.

Action Alert!! Tell lawmakers: Reject Obama's pro-abortion health care bill!

1/27/2010

WASHINGTON (Updated January 26, 2010, 9 AM EST) – The Obama White House and top Democratic congressional leaders, although shaken by the January 19 election of Republican Scott Brown to the Senate seat previously held by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), nevertheless are making plans to try to push broad health care legislation through Congress within a matter of weeks -- meaning that pro-life interests remain in grave jeopardy.

On January 25, the Associated Press reported the emergence of a new plan that involves House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) seeking to muster enough support among House Democrats to win House passage of the health care bill (H.R. 3590) that was passed by the Senate on December 24. If this occurred, that bill would be sent straight to President Obama to be signed into law.

Statement by the National Right to Life Committee on the new Reid abortion language

1/13/2010

WASHINGTON (December 19, 2009) – The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of right-to-life organizations in all 50 states, strongly opposes the abortion language contained in the "manager's amendment" (amendment no. 3276) that was filed today by U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nv.) to his pending health care bill (H.R. 3590). This statement may be attributed to NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson.

The Reid manager's amendment is light years removed from the Stupak-Pitts Amendment that was approved by the House of Representatives on November 7 by a bipartisan vote of 240-194. The new abortion language solves none of the fundamental abortion-related problems with the Senate bill, and it actually creates some new abortion-related problems.
