Pro-Life Group Heads to GOP Convention to Urge Republicans to “Defend Babies” From Abortions

With a weaker pro-life Republican platform than many pro-life Americans would have preferred, the Republican Party has come under some criticism for not having strong enough language condemning abortion.

As a result, one pro-life group is heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin today to remind Republicans to “defend babies” from abortions and to support pregnant moms who need help.

The Pro-Life Action League has a message for attendees of the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee this week and pro-life advocates affiliated with the organization will take to a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 94/43 on Monday, July 15, the first day of the RNC, to display banners with the following message: “GOP. Defend babies. Support moms.”

The Pro-Life Action League will display this message to both north- and south-bound traffic from the pedestrian bridge over I-94/43 accessed at West Warnimont Avenue and South 4th Street in Milwaukee (map) from 10 a.m. to noon on July 15, along with banners depicting an unborn child aborted at 15 weeks gestation.

“Some are claiming the GOP is backing away from the abortion issue with their new platform language,” said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League. “We’ll be there to call upon the GOP to defend unborn babies and their mothers from the violence of abortion.”

The pro-life leader told LifeNews.com he wished the platform language was stronger.

Scheidler said: “I’m glad to see support for state-level limits on abortion. But I was sorry to see no mention of the fact that as many as two-thirds of all abortions are unwanted, not really a free choice for the woman. We need to protect American women from unwanted abortions.”

The pro-life group is also planning a similar outreach during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month.

This issue is now a States issue as the Constitution provides for. Energy is best spent at the state level. I'm pro-life and there is no chance anything is going to happen at the national level.

Can make a lot more progress state by state.

That’s true but a whole lot of federal dollars go directly or indirectly to killing human babies.

Worse, much of that money is borrowed so the taxpayer pays interest on that blood money.

Finally while it is “legal” for a mother to kill her own child, the government (at any level) should still not condone it.

Fighting it at the state level will reduce the need for Federal dollars.

That battle has already been won. For a little over two years now. The greater strategy was victorious. Now comes the tactical effort: defeating abortion state by state.

It can be done.

what does that headline mean “defend babies”? They are babies, human innocent life.
