Oppose Attack on Pro-Life First Amendment Freedoms (Schumer Bill to hurt pro-life activists)
Family Research Council ^ | March 03, 2005 | Family Research Council

Posted on 03/03/2005 6:42:44 AM PST by LarkNeelie

As you know, pro-life activists who have peacefully picketed or prayed at abortion clinics have been prosecuted or hit with civil lawsuits and ordered to pay huge fines. Some have been forced to use bankruptcy protection to save their property and protect their family.

Now Sen. Charles Schumer of New York has introduced an amendment to the bankruptcy reform bill that specifically prevents pro-life activists from using bankruptcy protection. His amendment only applies to pro-life protesters. Other protesters will still be able to use bankruptcy laws.

Is this fair in America - are we second-class Americans?

The bankruptcy bill will be voted on this week and we must defeat the Schumer Amendment. Please use the link above to contact your Senators today and tell them to oppose the "Schumer Amendment" to the bankruptcy reform bill (S. 256). You can also help by forwarding this email to several friends. We need all the support we can get.

The length that they go to protect their precious baby killing operation is outrageous. They've restricted the way in which Pro-life advocates can protest, they hide the number of murders they perform, they fight parental consent.......

It's tantamount to the "gag rules" in the Senate during the 1850's (I think it was the 1850's) to prevent debates concerning slavery.

I wish old chucky's mother would have aborted him!!

Schumer will be right there supporting the Hildabeast when she runs and if she wins, Chucky will be about aborting life of even those who have been born.

I no this is of little comfort now, and as a Christian I really shouldn't be happy about this (as a Christian I am suppose to pray for this man and others like him but as a human being it's hard) but .....

Can you imagine this man before God almighty on judgment day? What do you think his excuse will be? "....What, you were serious about that? ...." The only way this man makes it into heaven, the the like minded ilk, is if the bible is a lie. God said it best " .... I Change Not!..." just because 1/3 of the population wants to kill babies doesn't mean that God's going to change his mind and say it's all right.

I must also say that those who vote for a politician knowing full well that he or she will support abortion, are just as guilty as the doctor doing the procedure.

(I'll get off my soap box now)
