Dear Trace,

I am writing to you tonight because NARAL Pro-Choice America needs you to act now.

As you read this, the U.S. House of Representatives is passing federal legislation on co-called "Partial Birth" abortion that will criminalize safe and legal abortion procedures -- legislation the President has promised to sign into law. In doing so, he will become the first president in the nation's history to criminalize safe abortion procedures.

I do not exaggerate when I say this is just the beginning. That's why we need you to click here to make an emergency donation to help us protect the right to choose: https://secure.ga3.org/02/naral10/nf7arO961UPDX

Ken Connor of the Family Research Council, a staunchly anti-choice group, recently wrote, "With this bill we are beginning to dismantle, brick by brick, the deadly edifice created by Roe v. Wade."

Help us prove him wrong. Help protect a woman's right to choose. Take a moment to give, and give generously. Click here now: https://secure.ga3.org/02/naral10/nf7arO961UPDX

Unless the Supreme Court strikes the new bill down, doctors will face criminal charges and prison sentences for giving women and their families the best possible medical care. That's why respected medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association and the American Public Health Association, among many others, oppose these bans.

When we asked you to contact your U.S. Representative voicing opposition to this bill, you did. Now we need you to help again. America must not tolerate this threat to women's health and rights. Won't you stand with NARAL Pro-Choice America by helping provide the resources to organize and act? If you will, then click here now to make a gift to save the right to choose: https://secure.ga3.org/02/naral10/nf7arO961UPDX

We must awaken the sleeping giant that is pro-choice America. You can help by forwarding this emergency message to your friends. And thank you, again, for helping protect this most basic American freedom.

Respectfully,

Kate Michelman President, NARAL Pro-Choice America --------------------------------------------------

NARAL is losing it; the subject line of the e-mail reads "Latest blow in Bush's war on women."

NARAL's war on the unborn is the real tragedy, these people are so wrong.

Nothing breaks down the "choice" facade and reveals the stench of death and hypocrisy more effectively than making these people take a stand on the PBR issue.

Safe abortion procedure...

Safe for who? Not the child...

[Trace21230]

Their hysterics are laughable. I can understand the argument for abortion in rape and incest, even though I don't agree.

How anyone can defend the butchery of PBA is a mystery though.

In doing so, he will become the first president in the nation's history to criminalize safe abortion procedures.

Safe to who?

[Trace21230]

"Safe to who?"


Exactly.

It amazes me that even 25% of the American people think this procedure should be permitted.

I love it when those beasts get so angry!! I can't understand how the incest/rape argument works for "partial birth" abortion. (separation-murder) If that were the case, it should have been reported immediately, so the crime could be solved.

Call me a cynic, but I think anyone screaming rape and/or incest in the third trimester is just looking for an out. A women can go in at 8.9 months and say "I was raped"? Bad idea.

A Memorial to Aborted Babies

Well, I'm glad he's taken it to NARAL. I was getting pretty tired of calling the cops to tell them there's a President in fatigues and black shoepolish in my neighbor's bushes with a sniper rifle.

[MeSpikeLibs]

Of that 25% I would venture to say that half of them really don't understand what partial birth abortion is. I work with a liberal woman who I educated and she is now against it...

[Trace21230]

"I can't understand how the incest/rape argument works for "partial birth" abortion. (separation-murder) If that were the case, it should have been reported immediately, so the crime could be solved."

Great point. Abortion for rape and incest should be a comparatively easy decision to make for those women who believe in abortions.

There is no logical reason for permitting abortions of babies resulting from rape or incest in the 2nd or 3rd trimester. That decision should be made immediately if the woman is so inclined.

What does NARAL have against the Professional Bowler's Association?

[basque69]

The feminazis went nuts because of the murder charges in the case of the unborn Connor Peterson. Why not have a law that requires every unborn be given a registered name prior to abortion? It would destroy abortion.

[Fee]

I hope every NARAL/NOW who had an abortion can evision standing in front of G_d in the life after and be asked by the Almighty why she is worthy to enter heaven. Before she can answer, a heavenly body standing next to the Almighty will ask, "Mother why did you have me slain? Do you not love me?"

[wardaddy]

Hey...we have one here in Nashville too. I like it, it gets folks attention.

[wardaddy]

This is a good start.

[Fee]

Pass a law requiring the abortion clinics register the aborted "fetuses" and have them buried in a mark location, just in case in the future, it is proven that the fetus is an individual and allow surviving/future relatives claim the body. The government can require the craziest regulations on products, procedures and etc., why not aborted fetuses?

[Dan from Michigan]

Hey! NARAL!

[mvpel]

Looks like they learned their lesson from a swarm of penny donations costing them more to process. They say the minimum donation if $5.

[netmilsmom]

I think that some of the people are just snowed. The headline of Attacking women is a clue.
Also, they are hitting the emotions by just displaying those who have chosen this procedure as horrible victims of circumstance.
My sister is a perfect example. She was pregnant in 1980 with a son with anincephaly (sp?). This is a neuro-tubal defect where the brain and skull do not form. This child would not live outside the body for longer than a few hours. At seven months, a c-section was performed and Christian lived 1 1/2 hours. It was sad.
I told my sister (who was supporting Kuchinich) that I could never support anyone who was for such a barbaric procedure as PBA. She flamed me and said that Christian was a PBA and I should not say anything until I have walked a mile in her shoes. I nearly fell off my chair. I had to explain to her what a PBA was and how her experience was no where near it.
It is easy to snow the uninformed.
