Wanted: Five Pro-life Dems with Strong Convictions |
|
Wanted: 5 Pro-life Democrats with Strong Convictions We found them in Tennessee! Pro-life Democratic State Senators Eddie Bass, Nathan Vaughn, Charles Curtis, John Mark Windle and Curt Cobb were pictured on a Wanted Poster for "unlawful use of a donkey on the floor of the General Assembly in violation of custom, tradition and decorum." Their crime? Supporting a resolution to remove the court ruling that guarantees Tennessee women the right to abortion in any circumstance and at any time during the pregnancy. The Supreme Court ruling prevents the State from passing any restrictions on abortion.
The Republican sponsor of the resolution bears the ultimate responsibility for the bill's demise by preventing pro-life democrats from sponsoring the bill. Her initial partisan tactics led to a partisan fight, not over the content of the resolution, but over her refusal to work with Democrats. Vaughn, one of the impressive pro-life leaders listed on the poster, gave an impassioned speech after he was refused the opportunity to cosponsor the pro-life resolution by its republican sponsor. I would encourage you to listen to his speech. Please contact these five wanted men to reward them with words of appreciation for their valiant efforts on behalf of the unborn. |

04/07/2008 Get Rid of Radical Abortion Bill |
DFLA Board Member Writes "Get Rid
of Radical Abortion Bill" The Democrat and Chronicle, a Rochester based newspaper ran a story about an extremely pro-choice bill that was proposed by former Governor Eliot Spitzer. The op/ed was written by Democrats For Life of America valued Board Member Carol Crossed. The bill would "Compel[ling] all state-employed health care providers, even a dentist or a podiatrist, to perform abortions, coerce Catholic health care institutions to provide abortions, despite their moral objections, compel state-funded programs to drop educational programs that would help women find alternatives to abortion and force all health insurance plans to pay for abortions." Crossed labels this bill " not pro-choice, no-choice". State Democratic Assemblyman Michael Benjamin and nine other Democrats are circulating a letter to their colleagues. "This legislation would elevate abortion, ... changing the current legal standard of review and closing the door on any future legislative deliberations regarding abortion regulation. Its far reaching and overbroad language would strip us and future lawmakers of the right to decide that certain health regulations on abortion are ever necessary or in the best interest of New Yorkers." The article concludes with: "Note to Gov. Paterson: Democrats who are pro-life are winners. The bill is a loser." Democrats For Life of America praises the New York pro-life Dems for taking a stand against this bill. To read the full text of the article, please click here |

Flordia Committee Passes Ultrasound bill |
|
FLORDIA COMMITTEE PASSES ULTRASOUND BILL
DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATOR CRITICAL TO BILL'S APPROVAL The Health Regulation Committee approved SB 2400, a bill that would allow women to see an ultrasound before considering abortion. Women would not be required to see the ultrasound and could opt out under this legislation. Opponents of the bill argue that it interfers with the right to abortion; a majority of women choose not to have an abortion after seeing their babies in the ultrasound picture. The narrow 4 to 3 vote would not have passed without the support of Democratic Senator Gary Siplin. We appreciate his vote on this bill. The Florida House passed similar legislation with the support of Democrat Representative Darren Soto. |

One Pro-life Democrats Makes a Difference |
|
PRO-LIFE DEMOCRAT CAST KEY VOTE TO
END STATE FUNDING OF ABORTION The Virginia Senate voted to end state funding of abortion largely due to a courageous pro-life democrat who stood by his commitment to protect the unborn. The House previously passed a similar Amendment.
Senator Charles Colgan cast the key vote on the Cuccinelli Amendment that would end funding to Planned Parenthood of Virginia which performs abortions in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In the Democratic controlled Senate, Colgan’s vote led to a 20 to 20 tie. The Lieutenat Governor ultimately cast the tie-breaking vote that led to the Amendments passage.
