I don't understand. We should support the American Life League (ALL) because the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC)opposed a bill with a "health" exception that leaves it up to the abortionist to decide if the abortion should be performed. A ban that would in fact ban nothing because of the health loop hole.

But I thought that ALL opposed abortion for any reason including for the life of the mother. In fact ALL opposed the NRLC backed Partial Birth Abortion Ban because it had a "life of the mother exception". They also opposed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act because it didn't ban abortions.

They have criticized pro-life groups like the NRLC for supporting legislation that contains "life of the mother exceptions" but now they want the NRLC to back a ban with a "health" exception. I'm confused?!?!

Where did you find this health loop hole as the reason for the NRLC opposing this law? It's my understanding that the NRLC is opposing the bill because there are criminal consequences and the bill is too strict. The American Life League has never opposed legislation because it was too strict, it opposes legislation that is not strict enough.

I personally don't agree with the "my way or the highway" approach but I can at least respect it. I have often heard that Nellie Gray refused to compromise back in 1973 on a constitutional ammendment that would ban all abortions except in the case of rape or incest. I think she's a loon for turning that deal down, but at least I can understand the logic. And she is of course, correct. Children of rape and incest are no less children of God than are children conceived by a night of passion.

The American Life League is at least consistent. They have been helpful to us numerous times. We have given the ALL and NRLC numerous IDENTICAL opportunities (via email or phone calls) to help us in our local fights and the NRLC have never lifted a finger in response - although they manage to send plenty of pleas for money.
