Pro Life Victory in Omaha

PRO-LIFE VICTORY IN OMAHA
Omaha Mayor Election Demonstrates Continued Problem
Democrats Have With Pro-Abortion Stand
WASHINGTON – Yesterday’s mayoral election in Omaha pointed out the problem Democrats have that will continue to cause them to lose elections across the nation.
After Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez decided that the DNC would only support candidates who support an extreme abortion agenda calling for unrestricted abortion for any reason – including late abortions after 20 weeks and taxpayer funding of abortion – Omaha Democratic mayoral candidate Heath Mello flip-flopped on abortion and decided to support abortion on demand.
“As soon as we learned that Heath Mello caved to pro-abortion Democratic pressure to support unlimited abortion, National Right to Life immediately endorsed pro-life Mayor Jean Stothert,” said Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president. “The National Right to Life Victory Fund phoned thousands of identified pro-life voters in Omaha with information about the differences between pro-life Mayor Jean Stothert and Heath Mello.”
National Right to Life and its state affiliate, Nebraska Right to Life, also shared information about the race through social media.
In pro-life areas of the country, Democratic candidates must have pro-life votes in order to win, however they also must appease the pro-abortion masters of the Democratic Party. The most ridiculous evidence of this recently took place when West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin appeared in a picture holding a Planned Parenthood sign that read, “I stand with Planned Parenthood.” Manchin later appeared in a picture with a pro-life group holding a sign that read, “We don’t need Planned Parenthood.”

“The pro-abortion side cannot match the infrastructure and grassroots base of National Right to Life and its 3,000 chapters and state affiliates, which can respond quickly anywhere in the country,” Tobias added. “With this latest litmus test for Democratic candidates, the Democratic Party will continue to lose elections.”Manchin, who claims to be pro-life, has a 33% pro-life voting record in the 115th Congress. There are similar situations in other parts of the country where Democratic senators must have pro-life votes to win including Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, and North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp. They will seek to get pro-life votes while trying please the pro-abortion masters of the Democratic Party.

Flawed “Study” Calls for supporting Abortionists instead of Protecting Women

FLAWED “STUDY” CALLS FOR SUPPORTING ABORTIONISTS
INSTEAD OF PROTECTING WOMEN
Guttmacher Institute cites themselves to attack pro-life state laws designed
to protect mothers and their unborn children
WASHINGTON – The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of state right-to-life affiliates and local chapters, today said that a new “study” issued by the Guttmacher Institute (originally founded as a special research arm of Planned Parenthood), was flawed and misleading and cautioned journalists to avoid accepting Guttmacher’s work at face value.
“There’s really not a lot that is new here. In this report, Guttmacher simply assembles a lot of its tired old, flawed research to trot out against the latest pro-life legislation that they claim to be ‘ineffective’ but yet has clearly frustrated their friends in the abortion industry,”said Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D., National Right to Life director of education & research. “This research, some as much as 35 years old, not only has basic design and sampling problems, but reaches conclusions that are not entirely consistent with their own data.” (For examples of some of these flawed studies, please contact the NRLC Communications Department.)
Throughout their report, Guttmacher attacks state laws protecting pain-capable unborn children from abortion, prohibiting the use of webcams as a means to prescribe dangerous chemical abortion pills, and requiring abortionists and abortion clinics meet basic minimum standards to operate. In issuing their full-throated defense of the abortion industry, Guttmacher uses studies to support its conclusions that come from other reports by Guttmacher authors or by authors who are well-known for their pro-abortion advocacy.
“Guttmacher ignores Kermit Gosnell, and other dangerous abortionists like him that have operated with little legal oversight in this country for decades, putting women’s lives and health at risk,” O’Bannon added. “There are real women who have been injured and died while Guttmacher and the abortion industry looked the other way and touted abortion’s safety. They continue to minimize the risk in this latest report, saying that fewer than .03% of women having an abortion require hospitalization. Even if this were true, it demonstrates that to Guttmacher’s way of thinking, the 2,700 women requiring hospitalization every year are acceptable collateral damage in the larger effort to protect abortion on demand at all cost.”
Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters, is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. Recognized as the flagship of the pro-life movement, NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and euthanasia.

California ProLife Democrats Refuse to Join the Borg

by

California ProLife Democrats today repudiated the recent proclamations by DNC chair Tom Perez, who declared last week that only those who unreservedly embrace unlimited abortion-on-demand would be approved by Party leadership.
“The oppressive tenor of the state and national Democrat Party Leadership is now inescapably clear,” said Alice Fahey of California ProLife Democrats.”This is a controlling, Borg-like, unthinking, mob mentality.  They demand our obedience for the sake of their power. They have enjoyed attacking and undercutting dissenters like Bernie Sanders, or pro-life, blue collar, salt of the earth workers, like us, who make up nearly 30% of the Democrat base.” Said Fahey,  “If they don’t want us, they don’t need us.”
Louis Shapiro,  a pro-life political activist who has long remained in the Democrat party was even more vociferous. “This is giving clear instructions to faithful Catholics and evangelicals, as well as conservative Jews that we are no longer welcome if we carry any moral convictions on the sanctity of human life.”
“So they don’t want us around. Well fine. We believe the right to life of the vulnerable is more important than the ‘right to power’ that a corrupt party offers people like Mrs. Clinton or whomsoever the party bosses try to anoint,” said Shapiro. “As far as we can see, you party bosses have ‘lost your anointing.’ If this is growing the base, it’s a strange way to do it.”
Both Shapiro and Fahey said they will work now only for pro-life candidates and do so without regard for party they represent.
“Abortion on demand, at anytime, for any reason or for no reason in particular – just for ‘Choice,’ is reprehensible to us,” said Fahey. “If the Democrat Party machinery insists we simply obey, then they need to understand: you are right, we are not part of a machine.”
