Abortion Extremism Is Out Of Touch With Mainstream America

 

At the March for Life in January, Vice President Pence shared “life is winning again in America.” And in recent months, the cause of life is advancing as several states have made strides in protecting the unborn by signing into law legislation that restricts abortion.

The Tennessee and Iowa measures follow the lead taken by several other states over the past few years to enact 20-week abortion bans.

Unfortunately, other states have moved in the opposite direction. ABC News reports today that the Governor of Delaware is set to sign into law legislation that “allows abortion without restriction before a fetus reaches viability. The bill also allows abortion after viability if a doctor determines that an abortion is necessary to protect the woman’s life or health, or that the baby is not likely to survive without extraordinary medical measures.”

Such extreme measures ignore the human dignity and personhood of an unborn child, as well as the harm that abortion brings to women. They are also out of touch with mainstream America. The vast majority of Americans believe that abortion should have real, legal limits. Eight out of ten Americans oppose late-term abortion and believe that the procedure should be limited to the first trimester, at most.

It’s time to end abortion extremism.

Time to Investigate Planned Parenthood

 

An activist federal judge is censoring the latest undercover video from the Center for Medical Progress exposing the abortion industry. Before the video was pulled from YouTube, we were horrified listening to the content of Planned Parenthood representatives discussing the sale of baby body parts.

“As hard as it is to watch, the American people need to see these videos,” shared March for Life President Jeanne Mancini on EWTN News Nightly last week. You can watch the full clip of her appearance below:


It has been nearly 2 years since the release of the first disturbing video from the Center for Medical Progress in July 2015. The previous Administration turned a blind eye to the wrongdoing revealed in the hours of footage of these videos.

The Congressional Select Investigative Panel made 15 criminal and regulatory referrals of tissue procurement, and the Senate Judiciary Committee made 7 criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.

But the Justice Department hasn’t yet indicated that they will take up this critical investigation.

Today we are asking for your help in contacting the Department of Justice to ask that they would open an investigation into paid fetal tissue transfers involving Planned Parenthood.

You can read the full letter the March for Life, along with pro-life allies, sent to the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation last week HERE.

Your voice is needed! We need every March for Life supporter and pro-life American to send a message to Attorney General Jeff Sessions encouraging him to continue his pro-life support by investigating Planned Parenthood.

>>>> Send a Message to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

It’s time for the Department of Justice to continue the investigation begun by Congress.

Real Women’s Health Care: You Decide

 

Last year, Planned Parenthood aborted over 328,000 babies. Furthermore, their health care services such as cancer screenings, breast exams, and prenatal services continue to decline.

Compare this with the availability of life-affirming federally qualified health services all across the country.

Abortion is not health care and women don’t need Planned Parenthood.

March for Life Leads Letter to Department of Justice

 

Along with pro-life allies, the March for Life sent a coalition letter to the Department of Justice and FBI regarding an investigation into Planned Parenthood. The letter addresses Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe and it writes: “The previous administration decided to turn a blind eye to the wrongdoing, which led to the creation of the select panel. We request that the Justice Department continue the investigation into the practices surrounding this scandal.”
