March for Life Vice President Tom McClusky in the American Thinker

 

March for Life President Vice President of Government Affairs Tom McClusky had an op-ed published in the American Thinker providing an in-depth analysis of the significance of the Supreme Court vacancy.

Oblique_facade_2,_US_Supreme_CourtPresident Obama and his allies insist on installing his nominee on the Supreme Court before he leaves office. If President Obama’s nominee were to be confirmed, it would be a huge victory for the pro-abortion side, and a huge loss for unborn lives. Letting President Obama flip Justice Scalia’s vote would open the door for partial-birth abortion to be legal (Justice Scalia’s fifth vote in Gonzales v. Carhart) and allow for state and federal governments to force individuals as well as churches to pay for abortions and drugs that act as abortifacients. Do you believe that parents should be notified if their thirteen-year-old daughter is considering an abortion? Or perhaps you believe that a newborn baby that survives an abortion should get medical attention? This president and his allies disagree with all of these proposals and would only accept a Supreme Court nominee who agrees with them, not you, on what is extreme.

Those Who Choose Abortion Can Consider Paths to Healing, Not Punishment
Washington, D.C. – Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who just last night confirmed that he had “evolved” on the issue of abortion and is now pro-life, managed to upset both pro-lifers and abortion supporters with his comments that women who have abortions should face “some form of punishment” if abortion were to be banned in the United States.

“Mr. Trump’s comment today is completely out of touch with the pro-life movement and even more with women who have chosen such a sad thing as abortion,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. “Being pro-life means wanting what is best for the mother and the baby. Women who choose abortion often do so in desperation and then deeply regret such a decision. No pro-lifer would ever want to punish a woman who has chosen abortion. This is against the very nature of what we are about. We invite a woman who has gone down this route to consider paths to healing, not punishment.”

The March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration on January 22, 1974, the first anniversary of the now-infamous Supreme Court decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world.  The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, abortion.

FDA Puts Access to Abortion over Women’s Health

Adverse Events Reports Related to Chemical Abortion Drug Must Be Released
Washington, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration has revised its guidelines for the abortion-inducing drug Mifeprex — widely known as RU-486 — expanding its use to 70 days of gestation, while recommending lower doses. The revisions are expected to affect several states that have passed laws restricting medication abortion.

“Today the Food and Drug Administration put access to abortion over and above women’s health by extending the use of chemical abortion to two months,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education & Defense Fund. “RU-486 (chemical abortion) is harder on women physically and involves less medical oversight than surgical abortion. The March for Life calls on the FDA to release the latest adverse events reports related to RU-486, showing the number of complications and deaths related to this drug that was approved in a rushed, politicized fashion back in 2000.”

INTERVIEW: March for Life Leader Reveals Silver Linings in ‘Snowpocalypse’—and the Future of Pro-Life Advocacy

2016 prolifecon

In an in-depth interview with Bound4LIFE, March for Life President Jeanne Mancini shared her thoughts on the 2016 March for Life, as well as insight into the year-long activities of the organization.

Of note, Mancini had the opportunity to talk about the March for Life’s 2016 theme >>>>

 

Bound4LIFE: This year’s March for Life theme is “pro-life and pro-woman go hand in hand.” What is the significance of this theme?

 

Jeanne Mancini:  In this current election year, we have heard a lot of statements about the false “war on women.” There has been a lot of messaging about the idea that to be pro-woman, you have to be pro-choice. We argue that nothing could be further from the truth.

Our theme was selected to correct this erroneous messaging which creates confusion in our culture. Being pro-life is wanting what’s best for mom and the baby, and it’s empowering for women. We love them both and, naturally, we wanted to educate about that and to focus attention on those messages.

Mother Angelica, foundress of Eternal World Television Network, dies on Easter
Washington, D.C. – The Catholic Church in the United States has lost the Poor Clare nun who changed the face of Catholicism in the United States and around the world. Mother Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, foundress of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), passed away on March 27 after a lengthy struggle with the aftereffects of a stroke. She was 92 years old.

“It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Mother Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, foundress of the Eternal Word Television Network,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education & Defense Fund. “The March for Life community is deeply grateful for her life and everything she has done to help advance the cause of life all across the world. We work very closely with EWTN around the time of the March for Life and throughout the year. None of this would be possible without Mother Angelica.”
