A perfect storm for pro-life advocates
Published 8:45 a.m. today
Conservative attacks on reproductive rights are once again in the news. Headlines were made when Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court, and pro-choice advocates could only imagine the restrictions on access to abortion that would result. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey made headlines by enacting the nation’s most restrictive bill on prevention of abortion at the sign of a fetal heartbeat, and pro-lifers anticipated a snowball effect of similar pieces of legislation around the country.
Most recently, Arizona GOP legislator Walter Blackman made headlines when he said his pro-life proposal was “perfect” because it would prosecute women having abortion for homicide, and providers characterized the legislation as “nothing less than appalling.” Indeed, pro-life advocates are very encouraged, and pro-choice activists are very worried.
In 2011, the first “fetal heartbeat” bill was introduced in Ohio. The tactic was seen as too extreme to ban abortion effectively, but a decade later it may pay off.
For some lawmakers, it’s a message that biblical values matter to Christian voters.
If you stacked them up flat, they would be just about 5 feet on every senator’s desk. They’re going to be noticed.” Janet Porter of Faith2Action.
WOODLAND PARK, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ One pro-life and pro-marriage activist is making her voice heard in Washington, DC., and making it possible for thousand of others to do likewise. She and a group of Christian leaders are giving concerned citizens the opportunity to share biblical truth with lawmakers through a postcard campaign that is piling desks high with messages.
