FaxNotes – May 15, 2003

Rep. Paul Introduces Three Pro-Life Bills – The following is a statement delivered in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 2, 2003, by Congressman Ron Paul, M.D.

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce three bills relating to abortion.

“First, the Freedom of Conscience Act of 2003 (H.R. 1548) prohibits any federal official from expending any federal funds for any population control or population planning program or any family planning activity. It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.

“Second, I rise to introduce the Partial-birth Abortion Funding Ban Act of 2003 (H.R. 1545). This bill prohibits federal officials from paying any federal funds to any individual or entity that performs partial-birth abortions. The taxpayer must not be forced to fund this barbaric procedure.

“Finally, my Life-Protecting Judicial Limitation Act of 2003 (H.R. 1546) provides that the inferior courts of the United States do not have jurisdiction to hear abortion-related cases. Congress must use the authority granted to it in Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution. The district courts of the United States, as well as the United States Court of Federal Claims, should not have the authority to hear these types of cases.

“Mr. Speaker, it is my hope that my colleagues will join me in support of these three bills. By following the Constitution and using the power granted to the Congress by this document, we can restore freedom of conscience and the sanctity of human life.” [emphasis added]

___________________________________

These bills are pro-active measures that, if enacted, would greatly reduce the power and influence of the abortion lobby in this country and at the same time reduce the number of abortions and abortion-related activities currently funded with our tax dollars.

Please insist that your Member of Congress support Congressman Paul’s efforts by co-sponsoring these three bills. Capitol Switchboard – 202/224-3121.

So out of three bills, he actually only has one sponsor? You'd think that members of the Liberty Committee, a committee he founded, would've signed on to Paul's bills.

Would you have signed on to them?

I know when he came to my Christmas party in Dec. 2001 he said we have the right to LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness... and the most important of those is the RIGHT TO LIFE! That would not allow abortion! Not abortion on demand for after the fact birth control.

I would LOVE to sign onto them... BUMP for Ron Paul... President in 2004.

“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” C. S. Lewis

Note that the only two who voted against the majority in Roe v Wade (against MURDERING babies) are on the right side of the photo. Rehnquist standing and White seated. Now isn’t that interesting….Hmmmm………

A thought from a recent past president of the
Federation of Americans waiting to be born:

"Abortion? I am all for it…
for “certain undesirable organizations”

"Abort N.O.W., NARAL, and Planned Parenthood!
Abort Roe v Wade and all “laws” that allow the
MURDER of my unborn friends!"

"Life is Sacred from the moment of conception!"

"Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians???"

Well that's what "they" want folks to believe. In my book, Ron Paul is a true conservative.

[BillyBoy]

>> Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians??? <<

Not exactly. The Libertarins are, but that probably explains why he left the party and refuses any of their efforts to draft him in future campaigns. Also explains the platform of the LP candidate who runs AGAINST Ron every year (probably doesn't think Ron is "pure" enough for his tastes.

Ron's views on immigration are still way out there, however.

Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians???

No. Ron Paul is one of those who would put the little "l" in conservative-libertarianism.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Rep. Ron Paul, M.D.(R-Tx) is a blessing on the house of Congress. Everything I have heard about Dr. Paul tells me he would be a blessing upon our nation as President in 2008.

I will be voting for the incumbent at that time, George W Bush.........and he will win.

2012...................Mr Paul has something to say. It's worth a listen.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Your thoughts..............

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce three bills relating to abortion.

“First, the Freedom of Conscience Act of 2003 (H.R. 1548) prohibits any federal official from expending any federal funds for any population control or population planning program or any family planning activity. It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.

“Second, I rise to introduce the Partial-birth Abortion Funding Ban Act of 2003 (H.R. 1545). This bill prohibits federal officials from paying any federal funds to any individual or entity that performs partial-birth abortions. The taxpayer must not be forced to fund this barbaric procedure.

“Finally, my Life-Protecting Judicial Limitation Act of 2003 (H.R. 1546) provides that the inferior courts of the United States do not have jurisdiction to hear abortion-related cases.

The district courts of the United States, as well as the United States Court of Federal Claims, should not have the authority to hear these types of cases.

There isn't anything I wouldn't support here.

It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.

Voting 'yes' here.

The taxpayer must not be forced to fund this barbaric procedure.

I'll vote 'yes' here also............

Mr Paul uses terms that show how he feels about such practices...........immoral and barbaric....certainly not vote disqualifying words to me.

[headsonpikes]

I was being facetious, of course.

Ron Paul has moral courage of the highest order.

George W. Bush IS pro-life, which is why he is PP's "Public Enemy Number 1".

Good for Ron Paul in introducing these bills! Let's pray for swift passage of all of them.
