We had 9 people there and covered every corner and entrance of the Century Link center with the aborted baby signs and the “Buffett’s billions kill millions” signs. Joe Ferrante and Sam were hassled by some security guards when we first arrived telling them they would have to stand across the street, but then the Century Link people told us we had a right to stand on the property. They made Sam sign some kind of paper but let him stay at the same spot in front of the building.

Maris Bentley said she had some good conversations with people walking by and handed out a lot of the literature about Buffett’s funding of abortion. Next year I will make more copies. Many people told us the same old comments we usually hear like “get a job” and “get a life”. Most of the people that walked by my aborted baby sign looked at it. The police did not bother us except when we tried to load the signs in Dave’s truck in front of the building. They told us we must walk to a loading zone which we did.

Thanks to Dave Zebolsky for bringing his truck so we could load the signs in it. Thanks to Nebraskans United for Life for buying the signs.

Hopefully, some of the Buffett shareholders will have a change of heart about the abortion issue. It was a very successful picket, and I hope we can get more people to participate next year.

Again thanks to all who came and God bless you.

PAC QUESTIONNAIRE 2012

1. YES___NO___ At the moment of either natural or artificial conception is there a living, unique and unrepeatable “innocent”, human being present, in either the womb or in vitro [Latin in glass] (As in fertility treatments or cloning)?
2. YES___NO___ Since murder is generally accepted to be defined as the direct, premeditated and intentional killing of one innocent human being by another, is abortion (by surgical abortion or chemical abortion, regardless of a human’s stage of development), murder?
3. YES___NO___ Are you publicly, & personally, against all abortions, all euthanasia, all artificial co-creation of human life outside the womb for the purpose of cloning or fertility treatment, all assisted suicide, all mercy killing and any and all foreseeable offenses against human life? (If no, please add explanatory note.)
4. YES___NO___ Do you support and/or acquiesce to the right to kill the unborn if the unborn person has been conceived through an act of rape or incest, do you support the death sentence (abortion) for children so conceived?
5. YES___NO___ Furthermore, understanding these same groups all allow for the unborn to be killed “to save the life of the mother”, which is in fact construed by killers to mean the life as in the health of the mother – which – in reality becomes an assessment of her mental, financial, psychological and other subjective states of well being (translating necessarily into our current debacle of abortion on demand) ~ do you agree with this much touted abortion “exception”?
6. YES___NO___ Do you believe that the direct and intentional killing of an unborn child in the womb can ever save the physical life of the mother?
7. YES___NO___ Knowing the principal of double-effect allows for legitimate therapy to be performed on a woman even if the UNINTENDED consequence of such therapy would mean the death of her unborn child – which is NOT and NEVER is an abortion, do you really think that abortions should be allowed to save the life of the mother?
8. YES___NO___ Do you support Planned Parenthoods teaching: violence against women and the unborn through abortion in our public and private schools, distributing books on masturbation to kindergarteners, and condoms to teenagers under the legal age of consent?
9. YES___NO___ Is it permissible to abort children with disease or who are physically deformed (As in down syndrome, fetal defects, etc)?
10. YES___NO___ Is it permissible to abort or freeze so-called “extra” babies during fertility or experimental cloning treatments (as in “reductions”)?
11. YES___NO___ Is it okay to kill an unborn human for his or her stem-cells, since it has been scientifically proven that adult stem cells can be taken without destroying human life and, research using adult stem cells has been more successful than embryonic stem cells?
12. YES___NO___ Do you specifically support embryonic stem cell research in any form? If so please explain.
13. YES___NO___ Would you sponsor, co-sponsor, support and/or vote for an Amendment to the US Constitution & and or the Nebraska Constitution that would definitively protect all human life from conception to natural and unaided death? (The so called Human Life Amendment)?
14. YES___NO___ Are you now or have you ever received money directly or indirectly, personally or for a political campaign, from any group or PAC that supports abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, mercy killings, unethical gene therapy, reproductive or therapeutic cloning, the sale of baby body parts or any other life-offending group?
15. YES____ NO ____Would you ever accept monies, personally or for a political campaign, from any pro-death organizations?
16. YES____ NO ____Will you defend against the erosion of the First Amendment Right of all Americans, including Pro-Life Americans?
17. YES___NO___ Will you work to force the closure of all abortion facilities, in Nebraska and throughout the United States?
18. YES___NO___ Will you work to end the trafficking and collection of fees for all baby parts obtained from the malfeasances of researchers and abortionists?
19. YES____ NO ____Knowing that RU-486, “Plan B” pills, Ella and “emergency contraception” and “the pill”, are ALL abortifacients that kill unborn children, do you support the use & distribution of them? (If yes, provide an explanatory note.)
20. YES____ NO ____ Will you support, appoint and/or vote for Pro-Life judges?
21. YES____ NO ____ Will you support, appoint and/or vote for Pro-Life Nebraska Senators to the Unicameral, Pro-Life US Representatives and Senator to the US House of Congress.

Mark Your Calendar for the 40th March for Life!
January 25 – 27, 2013

Plan now to attend the 5th Annual Adult Pilgrimage to the March for Life, sponsored by Nebraskans United for Life, the Archdiocese of Omaha and the Diocese of Lincoln.

Your presence, in growing numbers every year, is the best way to draw attention to the life-destroying legacy of Roe v. Wade, and to persuade our leaders to eradicate it from America’s future. Details coming soon in the NUFL summer newsletter and at www.nufl.org

Madison, WI – Planned Parenthood announced last week that it would stop dispensing abortion pills at all of its Wisconsin locations after Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill into law banning the dangerous drugs without the presence of a license physician. This law virtually bans the practice of telemed, or webcam abortions.

Medication abortions account for about 25% of all abortions in Wisconsin.

“This new law will certainly save lives and we thank the Wisconsin Legislature and Gov. Walker for acting to protect women from predatory webcam abortion practices that attempt to increase abortion profits by cutting corners on women’s health and safety,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation.

“This has been a textbook example of how activism encourages legislation. Once we discovered the webcam abortions in Iowa, we worked with other organizations to create legislation. That legislation has been picked up by other groups and guided through the legislative process. The result is positive change and increased protections for women that will result in fewer abortions.”

Operation Rescue first uncovered the experimental abortion pill distribution scheme that was being conducted by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland in Iowa, and reported on it in March, 2010, then exposed plans by Planned Parenthood Federation of America to expand the scheme into every one of their clinics nationwide.

Since then several states have worked to prevent the expansion of the dangerous abortion process. Wisconsin joins Arizona, Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota in banning webcam abortions. North Dakota and Oklahoma have also passed webcam bans that are currently in the process of litigation.

Elsewhere, a ban on webcam abortions passed its final hurdle in the Minnesota Legislature last Wednesday, and now heads to the desk of Gov. Mark Dayton, a pro-abortion Democrat. It is unknown whether he intends to sign the bill or exercise his veto.

The following day, another webcam abortion ban overwhelmingly passed the Missouri House with a vote of 109-24. It now moves on to the Senate.

Webcam bans have also been introduced during the current legislative session in Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion organization that tracks abortion trends. In addition, Rep. Steve King of Iowa is seeking federal legislation to stop webcam abortions.

During the webcam abortion process, the abortionist conducts a brief interview with a potential abortion patient in another location over an Internet video conferencing connection. The abortionist then pushes a button on his or her computer screen that releases a “cash drawer” containing the abortion drugs. The woman self-administers some of the drugs immediately and is then released to take the rest of the drugs at home. The patient is never examined by a licensed physician, and in the case of an emergency, there is no accessibility to the prescribing abortionist. The process violates FDA safety protocols on numerous points.

The abortion pill, known as RU486, Mifepristone, or Mifeprex, is responsible for at least 16 patient deaths and thousands of abortion complications. When the pills fail, a surgical abortion can be necessary to save the woman’s life from infection caused by retained fetal tissue.

“There can be no doubt that halting the misuse of abortion drugs will save the lives of women and their babies. Because of this we are working to halt the practice of telemed abortions nationwide,” said Newman.

The Hilltoppers for Life group members, who had been keeping an eye on their display through the night in reaction to similar acts of vandalism to pro-life displays at other campuses including nearby Northern Kentucky University, asked the art students to stop and then called campus police. The students refused and the campus police just stood by and watched. The police claimed that they, “couldn’t do anything because the condoms aren’t actually vandalization,” even though the crosses are the property of Hilltoppers for Life and they have the administration’s permission for their display.

Claiming vandalism as art is disingenuous and disturbing at best. The desecration of the crosses at WKU is sacrilegious, offensive, and borders on a hate crime. While we have seen vandalism before at other campuses across the nation, it is not uncommon for students to face opposition of this nature but usually the campus police do help out and stop the vandalism rather than hide behind some ‘artistic expression’ excuse. You can read John’s, the president of Hilltoppers for Life, first hand account here.

Please take a moment today to:

1) Call or Email WKU Dean, Dr. Dennis George at 270-745-8723 or dennis.george@wku.edu to express your outrage and demand the university apologize to WKU Hilltoppers for Life and better train the campus police force so that they learn that putting condoms on some one else’s crosses is not art or freedom of expression, it is desecration and vandalization.

2) Log into our action website with your Facebook or Twitter account and Sign our petition to the WKU Administration and show them that America is watching.

BACKGROUND

Two years ago, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services notified Nebraska that its decades-long policy of insuring prenatal health care for unborn children in impoverished families under the Medicaid program had to be discontinued. Medicaid does not include the unborn as eligible recipients of prenatal health care in their own right. However, another joint federal-state program, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), does just that. In fact, the CHIP program explicitly includes unborn children “from conception to birth” in its definition of “child.” This enables the state to provide coverage of prenatal health care regardless of the mother’s eligibility status–other than impoverishment–and in doing so recognizes the individual humanity of the unborn child.

Unfortunately, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (NDHHS) has chosen not to apply for the unborn-child option available under CHIP. However, the Nebraska Legislature is about to begin debate on LB 599, a bill that would restore access to prenatal health care for vulnerable unborn children by requiring NDHHS to apply for the unborn-child option under CHIP.

ACTION

Contact your state senator–and any others you know or with whom you have a connection–by e-mail or phone. Urge others to do the same. Even if you acted on the previous alert on this matter, please do a follow-up, as the matter has become even more urgent due to scheduling on the bill.

MESSAGE

“Please support LB 599, to restore access to prenatal health care for vulnerable unborn children by means of the unborn-child option of the Children’s Health Insurance Program. As a Pro Life Nebraskan, I believe it is wrong to ignore and penalize unborn children in impoverished families because of the circumstances and actions of their parents. LB 599 is the right and caring thing to do.

WHEN

ASAP. LB 599 is likely to be called for floor debate sometime tomorrow-Tuesday, April 3rd.

You can find additional Talking Points for LB 599 here.
