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.
They just need to ask Lindsay Graham to help make sure we lose again.
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.
It can be done.
what does that headline mean “defend babies”? They are babies, human innocent life.
Republicans should indeed do this, but at the local level where the abortion culture breeds. Abortion is not going to disappear before teen sex disappears.
Godspeed. I want a human life amendment plank, a pro second A plank and a one man one woman marriage plank too.
In theory it can be done, but historically Republicans are tight in the pocket when it comes to backing up the pro-life cause. As we have already been seeing, the Left, being demonically inspired and fanatically engaged in the Culture of Death, are using pouring massive final resources into each state battle to both promote their pro-death agenda or defeat the weak attempts by Conservatives. There are lots of rich Leftists who put their money where their big mouths are. Not so much with Conservatives. And money, even though the love of it is the root of evil, is what it takes to both finance or fight great evils. We need to pray and we need to speak out and we need to be ready to offer those in crisis pregnancies assistance, but if there are any well-heeled pro-lifers out there, they need to get off the can and get on the stick.
