From the Desk of:
Mat Staver
Conservatives,
We have learned that the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding their Executive Business Meeting on Thursday morning.
I am urging pro-life Americans to barrage members of the committee with faxes before the meeting to force them to add S. 1670, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, to their agenda.
Our
congressional sources tell us that it will take real impact from
grassroots citizens to get the Democrat “progressives” in control of the
Judiciary Committee to release this bill.
We
need two Democrats to join the Republicans in the Judiciary Committee
to vote “yes” to get the bill to the entire Senate for an up-or-down
vote.
Conservatives, please join me in calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to release S. 1670, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, to the entire Senate!
Today,
let’s barrage Capitol Hill with a message telling these elected
officials that refusing to protect life after twenty weeks gestation is
both inhumane and barbaric.
I
believe that the proven effectiveness of our Fax Barrage strategy will
spur the committee to act. Click here to send your immediate faxes:
++You can help save tens of thousands of lives!
Senator
Lindsey Graham has estimated that passing the Pain- Capable Unborn
Child Protection Act will save 18,000 lives this year alone.
This
bill prohibits an abortion from being performed if the probable
post-fertilization age of the unborn child is 20 weeks or greater unless
the mother’s life is in danger.
As Senator Graham noted in calling for the passage of his sponsored bill…
“At
twenty weeks, mothers are encouraged to speak and sing as the baby can
recognize the voice of the mother. We now know that an unborn child at
the twentieth week of pregnancy can feel pain. In fact, anesthesia is
administered directly to unborn children in second trimester fetal
surgery.
Given
these facts and my continued strong support for life, I believe there
is a compelling interest in protecting these unborn children who are
among the most vulnerable in our society.
I'm
confident that over time the American people and their elected
representatives will say yes as well. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child
Protection Act is the new front in protecting the rights of the unborn.”
++There is growing momentum for this bill in the Senate.
Earlier
this week, South Carolina joined West Virginia and eight other states
in passing their own state versions of the Pain-Capable abortion ban.
I
firmly believe that American attitudes toward these second trimester
abortions are changing following the horrific details exposed about the
barbaric industry last year in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell.
It
is very difficult to face the horrendous reality of industrialized
abortion in America, so when we have an opportunity to win a real
victory for life, we must not let it pass us by!
We
must aggressively motivate the Senate Judiciary Committee to take
action and allow this bill to get to the Senate floor for a full vote.
This will happen if just two more Democrat senators on the committee
say, “yes.”
As a pro-life Liberty Counsel Action partner, please fax these key lawmakers before they meet on Thursday morning! Now is the time. Momentum is building!
