Dear Conservatives
,
"ABORTED BABIES INCINERATED TO HEAT HOSPITALS" is the headline that "greets" visitors to the Drudge Report this morning. Because it's not immediately clear where this horror was taking place, my first thought was: Please don't let this have happened in America.
A click on the Drudge link takes you to a Web article by The Telegraph. The British newspaper cites a U.K. television program, Channel 4's Dispatches in reporting:
"The
bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated
as clinical waste, with some even used to heat hospitals, an
investigation has found.
Ten NHS [National Health Service] trusts have admitted burning foetal (sic) remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in 'waste-to-energy' plants which generate power for heat.
Last night the Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice which health minister Dr. Dan Poulter branded 'totally unacceptable.'
At least 15,500 foetal (sic) remains were incinerated by 27 NHS trusts over the last two years alone."
As awful as this news is, I was somewhat relieved to learn that incinerating aborted and miscarried babies to heat hospitals hadn't taken place in the United States ... at least, not yet. But in a country that struggles to limit even the most violent abortion procedures, could such horrific news from this side of the Atlantic be far off?
This past weekend, Grassfire released a new pro-life platform for our team members. It empowers you to demand that a Senate committee push the stalled Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to the floor of the "Upper Chamber" for a full vote. Already approved by the House, this important bill bans abortions after 20 weeks, which is when the medical community agrees that a preborn baby can feel pain.
Click here to add your name to the "Demand A Vote For Life" petition now. Or read the full details of this initiative in Grassfire's "launch" message below. And please watch your inbox for my next pro-life update. Find out why the Department of Justice plans to argue before the Supreme Court tomorrow that "killing an embryo seeking to implant in his or her mother's womb is not an abortion."
As always, thank you for standing with Grassfire.

Did
you know that a bill to prevent abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy
was passed by the House last year and is now stalled in a Senate
committee? Read the full story below. --Grassfire
Conservatives,On June 18, 2013, the House of Representatives passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act by a 228-196 majority. In November, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced S. 1670 with 33 co-sponsors, only to see the bill stall in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
What makes The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act so important -- and so threatening to the Left -- is that it bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which the medical community says is when an unborn child can feel pain. Many on the far-Left refuse to allow ANY restrictions on abortion, while a clear majority of Americans (52 percent) think it should be allowed only in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. A May 2013 Gallup poll indicates that 20 percent of Americans believe that abortion should be "illegal in all circumstances."
S. 1670 needs just two Democrat members of the committee to vote “Yes” in order to push the bill to the Senate floor for a full vote. Democrats hold a 55-45 majority in the "Upper Chamber." Surely, they have enough votes to keep the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. So what's the hold up? We'll tell you.
+ + Senate Dems Seeking To Appease Far-Left?
With nearly three-quarters of Americans opposed to abortion-on-demand, S. 1670 has a chance of imposing a reasonable and humane restriction on abortion that a clear majority of people will support.
But in what may be and attempt to appease far-Left "progressives" (the 26 percent who Gallup says want abortion "legal under any circumstances"), the Democrat members of Senate Judiciary appear willing to let the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act "die" in committee. after all, that would be much easier than forcing every U.S. Senator to expose their position on abortion.
You can take action as a Grassfire team member and call for a full-Senate vote on S. 1670. Go here now to sign the “Demand A Vote For Life” petition:
