Missouri Legislators Press for Tax Credits for Pregnancy Centers

1/29/2013

 
Pro-life state legislators are making a strong push this session to win passage of bills that would revive a state tax credit program which benefits pregnancy resource centers. Legislation has been filed in both the Missouri  House and Senate which would renew the tax credit, which had been originally established in 2006 but expired last year.
The program enabled donors to pregnancy resource centers to deduct 50 percent of their contributions from their state tax liability. A total of $2 million in pregnancy resource center tax credits could be claimed by Missourians each year, with a ceiling of $50,000 allowable to any individual donor.
We encourage you to contact your state senators and state representatives to encourage their support of renewal of the pregnancy resource center tax credit.

NBC Poll Claiming Americans Favor Roe is Grossly Misleading

1/29/2013

 
On the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the supporters of abortion in the mainstream media are working overtime to push their dishonest message to the public. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showing alleged public support for Roe v. Wade – the headline screams “Majority, for first time, want abortion to be legal” – is a prime example of how the mainstream media often manipulates facts, data, and people.
The designers of the Pew poll boost support for the ruling by telling respondents: “In 1973 the Roe versus Wade decision established a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe versus Wade decision, or not?”
That language is misleading because Roe v. Wade, along with its accompanying ruling, Doe v. Bolton, mandate that abortion be legal up until the point of birth if any one physician willing to perform an abortion says it is needed for “the preservation of the … health of the mother.” Furthermore, Roe cites specific examples of what may be considered harmful to a mother’s health, such as the “stigma of unwed motherhood,” the work of “child care,” and “the distress, for all concerned, associated with the unwanted child.”

Fox News Reports on March for Life as Other Networks are Virtually Silent

1/29/2013

 
Fox News was one of the only major news networks to report on the 40th annual March for Life.
(link to video)
A new study from the Media Research Center shows the three major broadcast networks, (ABC, NBC, and CBS) gave 521 times more coverage to Manti Te’o’s fake dead girlfriend than they gave to over 500,000 real people at the March for Life.
The study from MRCs Culture and Media Institute finds ABC, CBS, and NBC devoted close to two-and-a-half hours (147.7 minutes) to the Te’o fiasco and just 17 seconds to the March for Life.
The networks have a history of bias concerning the March for Life. The lack of coverage of the march became even more impressive when half a million people attended. A spokesperson for the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), “the largest religious media network in the world,” confirmed that organizers interviewed on EWTN estimated 500,000 marchers.

Pro-Life Rising, Forty Years after Roe v. Wade

1/28/2013

 
Forty years ago, on Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down Roe v. Wade, one of the two worst decisions in its history. The court’s first mega-error, the 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, declared an entire class of human beings beyond the protection of the laws; Roe v. Wade declared another class of human beings, the unborn, beyond legal protection. Dred Scott helped precipitate the Civil War; Roe v. Wade led to a vast expansion of the pro-life movement, the largest movement of social reform in America since the civil rights movement and the natural successor to that effort to repair the lingering damage done by Dred Scott. 
The battle to build an America in which every child is protected in law and welcomed in life continues. Forty years after Roe, the pro-life movement can cite at least ten reasons why it may, in time, carry the day. 

(1) Abortion has never been accepted as part of mainstream medical practice. Abortion is regarded as tawdry and abortionists are stigmatized by much of the medical establishment.

(2) The science of human reproduction and gestation has confirmed the pro-life position and rendered the “science” of Roe risible.

Hundreds of Thousands Gather for Record-Breaking March for Life

1/25/2013

 
More than 500,000 people are attending today’s March for Life in a massive attendance that could be well higher than that estimate and set records for the annual pro-life event challenging the mantra of unlimited abortion.
Typically held on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that allowed virtually unlimited abortions at any point in pregnancy for any reason, the march for Life typically sees anywhere from 250,000 to 500,000 people lining the streets towards the Supreme Court building.
The official theme of this year’s march is “40 = 55M,” an equation meant to remember the enormous toll on human life that has resulted in nearly 56 million people losing their lives.

St. Louis Planned Parenthood Botches Abortion, Tries to Hide Victim

1/21/2013

 
The Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in St. Louis has botched yet another abortion — its fourth recently.
As paramedics tried to place the injured woman in an awaiting ambulance for transport to a local emergency room, Planned Parenthood abortion clinic staffers attempted to conceal her from pro-life advocates documenting the injuries.
Despite the attempt, pro-life advocate photographed the incident, which was the fourth medical emergency at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in St. Louis since Thanksgiving, 2012.
“Defenders of the Unborn has been in contact with the Board of Healing Arts and they have decided to take NO action at this time."

40 Years of Abortion

1/20/2013

 
It’s hard to believe next week marks 40 years of legalized abortion in the U.S. The death count is 50 million preborn children and climbing -- and for every child lost, there’s a mother and a father also impacted by abortion. 
Many Americans are generally familiar with Roe v. Wade, the most cited of the two abortion rulings handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. In fact, there were two cases decided by the court that day – Doe v. Bolton being the second – that together erased every abortion ban and pro-life law in the nation. While progress has been made in re-establishing protections for the preborn, primarily in state laws, Roe and Doe remain the overarching law of the land. 

Watch Stuart Shepard and Carrie Gordon Earll as they discuss these landmark decisions and how women are also injured by abortion in this week’s CitizenLink Report.

In fact, Carrie knows firsthand that abortion hurts women. Her own abortion in 1981 changed her life forever and she talks candidly about this experience as well as the forgiveness and healing she found in Jesus Christ.To watch “Carrie’s Story,” click here.
