Renee Ellmers Calls Pro-Life Groups “Abhorrent and Childish” After She Flip-Flops on 20-Week Abortion Ban

Renee Ellmers Calls Pro-Life Groups “Abhorrent and Childish” After She Flip-Flops on 20-Week Abortion Ban

National   Steven Ertelt                        
Congresswoman Reneee Ellmers made herself into a thorn in the side of the pro-life movement when she flip-flopped on her support for a major pro-life bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Now, she’s angering pro-life advocates even further.
Ellmers was the subject of considerable angst from millions of pro-life people after her backtracking on the bill led to a handful of other lawmakers pulling their support over the bill and forcing House Republican leaders to have to delay a vote on the pro-life legislation. After the March for Life, pro-life leaders and activists protested outside Ellmers’ office and there has been strong talk about running a pro-life candidate in her next primary election as a result of her fli-flop.
reneeellmers5Now, Ellmers has written an editorial calling pro-life groups “abhorrent and childist” that is sure to alienate her from the pro-life community even further.
“Recently, a bill was scheduled to reach the House floor called the Pain Capable bill, which would – and rightfully so– ban all abortions after a 20-week gestation period. Research has shown a baby can feel pain in the womb from the 20th week until live birth. As any member of Congress should do when apprehensive with language in a bill, my colleagues and I took our concerns to leadership, and we held a discussion within the family of our Republican Conference,” Ellmers writes. “I remain disappointed that the concern for the language of mandatory reporting of rape to law enforcement held by House Republican women and many men were not addressed before our leadership made the decision to pull the bill from the House floor in the eleventh hour.”
“Additionally, I am appalled by the abhorrent and childish behaviors from some of the leaders of the outside groups,” she added.
Though Ellmers criticizes House Republican leaders over the language of the bill, the measure has the exact same language Ellmers voted for previously.
The leading pro-life group behind the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the ban on abortions after 20 weeks, is calling on pro-life voters to hold accountable the “pro-life” Republican lawmakers who sabotaged a vote on the bill.
Carol Tobias, the president of the National Right to Life Committee, is calling on pro-life advocates to hold them accountable.

In an email to supporters that LifeNews.com received titled “Elected Officials Who Betray Unborn Babies Have to Go,” Tobias said, “Last week, a small handful of congresswomen and men did something absolutely unconscionable. These lawmakers claim to be “pro-life,” and they were elected to Congress in part because they promised their constituents they would support laws to save the lives of unborn babies.”
“But despite their solemn promises to their pro-life constituents and more important, to the unborn, they ganged up last week to sidetrack for now the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.  This humane bill would ban abortions when an unborn baby is developed enough feel terrible pain during an abortion – and if you can’t vote for such a humanitarian no-brainer of a law to protect the unborn, you can’t be trusted to vote for any pro-life legislation,” Tobias added.
Jill Stanek, a pro-life nurse and writer, was one of the pro-life activists leading the protest against Ellmers.
“Having personally held a twenty-week old abortion survivor for forty-five minutes until he died. I can personally attest to the fact that these babies feel excruciating pain as they die,” she told LifeNews.com. “Congresswoman Ellmers attempt to block a bill to protect these babies is reprehensible. I will be protesting at her office today in memory of the baby I held.”
Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony List is also disappointed by the actions of those handful of lawmakers who sabotaged the vote.
“While we are disappointed that the House will not be voting on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act today, we are pleased that the House is moving forward to stop taxpayer funding of abortion,” she said. “We support Majority Leader McCarthy’s call for a prompt vote on Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act this Congress and we will be working with the House Republican leadership to ensure the maximum number of votes. We will also be working with the bill’s sponsor Senator Lindsey Graham to continue advancing this measure in the U.S. Senate. Both the House Leadership and Senator Graham have assured us they are not backing down.”

REDSTATE Conservatives Turn On Renee Ellmers On Abortion… But Why Not On Immigration?

An interesting article from www.vdare.com about Renee Ellmers. This follows this post about the U.S. president.This follows this post on HOW amnesty is funded in ways other than the DHS. Remember, “Amnesty” means ANY non-enforcement of existing immigration laws! This follows this comment and this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! Also, you can read two very interesting books HERE.

REDSTATE Conservatives Turn On Renee Ellmers On Abortion… But Why Not On Immigration?

Immigration patriots already knew that North Carolina GOP congressthing Renee Ellmers was a traitor. Now the pro-lifers at RedState know it too. But will they continue to prioritize attacks on immigration patriots rather than a GOP Establishment that despises them?
VDARE.com is focused on immigration and the National Question—whether the U.S. can survive as a nation-state, the political expression of a particular people. It does not take a position on abortion, and we know our writers and readers are on both (all) sides of the issue. But we are vitally interested in any clash between GOP leaders and the party’s base, because it is the GOP leaders who have systematically frustrated the base’s desire for patriotic immigration reform.
And Ellmers turned on the pro-life Republican base faster than the French government turned on free speech after the Islamic terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo. On the very eve of the annual March for Life, an event that brought half a million pro-life protesters to the Capitol, Ellmers waged an insurgent campaign within the Republican caucus to defeat a bill that would have banned late term abortions. [Abortion bill dropped amid concerns of female GOP lawmakers , by Ed O’Keefe, Washington Post, January 21, 2015] Thus, at the hands of a Southern Republican, the pro-choice movement can celebrate a victory and the already disorganized Republican caucus looks even more hapless [Planned Parenthood seizes on House GOP’s abortion bill retreat, by Sarah Ferris, The Hill, January 22, 2015]
The base is outraged. Jim Duncan, chairman of the Chatham County Republican Party, was apparently already looking at a primary challenge to Ellmers but his incipient rebellion now has serious momentum behind it. Roll Call is reporting that her abortion vote may mean Ellmers will face a “bruising primary from the conservative wing of her party in 2016 [Renee Ellmers May Face Primary Challenge, by Emily Cahn, January 23, 2015].
The Respectable Rightists of RedState are especially outraged. Erick Erickson spat that Ellmers is a “damnable liar” who “must be ruined politically” for claiming “she’d vote for the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act after she ensured it would not pass.” He proclaimed that “the pro-life movement must stop being the whores of the GOP” and mused, “Maybe it is time for a third party to give the GOP competition” [The Pro-Life Movement Must Stop Being Whores of the Republican Party, RedState, January 22, 2015].
Thomas Crown, a former Director of RedState vowed: “I will never vote Republican again. Not for any reason… today, the Party stands for indifference in the face of a man-made cataclysm of flesh and blood, and for apathy toward good and cooperation with evil.” [The Friend of My Enemy is My Enemy, by Thomas Crown, RedState, January 22, 2015]
RedState Commissar Leon Wolf wrote:
41153-bruce6pm-640x360[1]Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC ) was swept into office in 2010 on a wave of Tea Party support and based on the fact that she had the good fortune to have a Democrat incumbent who let himself get videotaped assaulting some college kids. The video in question went nationally viral and Ellmers’ election became something of a cause celebre in conservative circles. When she narrowly pulled off the victory, people expected great things from her.
However, since her election, she has been one of the worst members of the GOP caucus…Ellmers is either lying to her constituents about being pro-life or she has become a poltroon on this issue now that the GOP has taken control of the house and she figures she can increase her district’s share of the federal feeding trough… It would be better to have a Democrat in this seat than a cancer in the Republican caucus.”
[Renee Ellmers is Worse Than a Democrat, January 21, 2015]
And RedState regular Aaron Gardner triggered progressives around the country by demanding of Ellmers, “Tell me why you are worthy of this life you have been given, Representative.” [Is Renee Ellmers Worthy of Life?, January 23, 2015]
Nevertheless, it’s hard to take these kinds of militant statements seriously when we review RedState’s recent record on immigration. After all, Erickson has made some excellent comments in the past about the baleful impact of consultants on the Republican Party, but has apparently retreated on the issue now that the Republicans might have the potential to do something about it.
Significantly, RedState purged Daniel Horowitz for his excellent immigration updates and issued an abrupt volte face on the immigration issue. Leon Wolf openly urged the Republican Party to pass Amnesty as quickly as possible. Wolf also whined about the “toxicity of immigration rhetoric” and even about the “racism” of referring to George Bush or John McCain as “Jorge Arbusto” or “Juan McCain.” When someone posted a link to VDARE.com in the comments section, it was deleted and Wolf congratulated himself for it.
As for Aaron Gardner, he previously wrote that the likes of Glenn Beck providing showy charity for the Obama administration’s orchestrated “Central American refugee crisis” was really about “Christians living their faith” and called out the American Thinker for criticizing it [On Immigration, the Border, and Dana Loesch, The American Thinker Isn’t Thinking or American,” by Aaron Gardner, RedState, July 21, 2014].
Gardner concern-trolled by claiming “This sort of rhetoric does nothing but empower the left on immigration” and “will lend further credence to the liberal caricature of conservatives hating brown people.”
But it seems more accurate that the average person will be angrier at a conservative blogger demanding a female congresswoman justify her very existence than they will be about American Thinker’s criticism of Glenn Beck wanting moral credit for crying on his website again. And truly “living their faith” would require these Christians to pay a bit of attention to Matthew 6:2-6:8.
Ironically, immigrant Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, now a Mexican-American dual citizen, is pretty overt about his frankly racialist rationale for pushing mass immigration. “Conservatives hating brown people” is a media caricature but it seems pretty accurate that many “brown people” hate conservatives.
This holds true not just on economic issues like increasing spending but also, in increasing numbers, on abortion and other “white” cultural issues.
Exit polls after the 2012 elections show that “big majorities of Latinos across the country… agreed that abortion should be legal” and that their support for abortion exceeded that of voters in general. [Latinos Endorse Legal Abortion, by Richard Morin, ABC News, November 6, 2012] Allegedly “socially conservative” and “natural Republican” Hispanics are also one of the most important drivers behind the country’s rising number of out-of-wedlock births.
If Erickson was serious about a Third Party that would be defined by the pro-life issue, we have news for him—such a party already exists. It’s the Constitution Party and ran former Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode as its presidential nominee in 2012.
But Goode’s patriotic position on immigration was just as strong as his pro-life stance. And any serious effort to have an independent “pro-life” political movement would require immigration patriot backing to have any chance to get anywhere.
As much as RedState hates to admit it, elections aren’t just about ideas—they are about demographics, and Hispanics will never vote for them.
The pro-life movement needs patriotic immigration reform and the demographic base it represents—especially if pro-lifers are trying to be independent of Establishment Republicans. It’s true that some immigration patriot groups are progressive and overtly pro-choice, just as many pro-lifers are progressive except on the single issue of immigration. However, the mass base of any political movement would require a coalition of those groups that are currently perceived as expendable by the Beltway Right.
But is RedState really interested in preventing abortion or just making sure conservatives stay focused on issues other than immigration? In the past, Leon Wolf has attacked Tom Tancredo because of his alleged “ties” to immigration restrictionist groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform and figures like Dr. John Tanton [Tom Tancredo’s Unsavory Backers, RedState Archive, 2008]. In fact, of course, as Tancredo himself noted in 2013, the former Colorado Congressman has a “100% rating from National Right to Life and a 99% rating from the American Conservative Union” [Immigration and the Pro-Life Movement, Townhall, February 17, 2013]. If a strong position on immigration cancels out a perfect pro-life voting record, then it’s fair to say that a weak position on immigration is more important to people like Wolf (why?) than a strong and consistent pro-life position on abortion.
Moreover, the real action on the abortion issue is not taking place in Congress or even the state legislatures. The pro-life movement has actually had notable success in the last few years by working to shut down abortion clinics directly, by exposing regulatory violations etc., rather than counting on the political process. The result has been a dramatic decline in the number of abortion clinics open throughout the country [Not Just ‘Marching for Life’ Anymore, WND, January 22, 2015], If the goal is to “save lives” as such, pro-life champions like those at RedState could be doing more to popularize these kinds of tactics.
Therefore, it’s hard to take this kind of tantrum seriously. RedState and its writers are no doubt sincere in their pro-life convictions. But it appears that they don’t really want to build a populist coalition that could challenge the Beltway Right. It looks like the abortion issue just provides a way to get grassroots conservatives to be angry at a faux Establishment, while leaving the donor-driven and immigration-obsessed real Establishment in place.
The real story is not RedState’s empty threats to destroy the Republican Party. It’s the RedStaters’ unwillingness to seriously engage with the immigration issue—even if that is the only way to stop politicians like Renee Ellmers from taking the GOP base for granted.

Extreme Financial Edge Keeps Sellout Lying Republicans In Power


An interesting article from www.alipac.us about incumbent Republicans winning their primaries. This follows this post about the ENLIST Act. REMEMBER, “Amnesty” means ANY non-enforcement of existing immigration laws! This follows this comment and this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! For more about what you can do click here and you can read two very interesting books HERE.

Extreme Financial Edge Keeps Sellout Lying Republicans In Power

Extreme Financial Dominance Keeps Sellout Republicans In Power



Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) Press@alipac.us (866) 703-0864

Republican incumbents who support a form of amnesty for illegal aliens similar to the same globalist plan backed by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, beat back grass roots challengers by outspending them more than 40 to 1!

In Ohio, House Speaker John Boehner easily swept past two challengers to reelection despite his efforts to help Obama pass amnesty for illegal immigrants which is opposed by more than 80% of the Republican voters in his district. In North Carolina, all incumbents won their GOP primaries and Thom Tillis won the senate primary. He is predicted to behave in office like John McCain and Lindsey Graham as he is backed by the exact same financial controllers.

Embattled incumbent Renee Ellmers (R-NC) won her GOP primary against Frank Roche by outspending him more than 40 to 1 with Ellmers raising close to 1 Million dollars and Roche garnering only $24,000. Liberal Obama supporter Mark Zuckerberg's fake conservative group, 'Americans for a Conservative Direction' also outspent Roche running false ads lying to voters claiming Ellmers opposes amnesty for illegals when in fact she supports it!

"Big money had to spend 40 to 1 and tell very big lies to reelect their sellout puppets in the Republican primaries!" said William Gheen President of ALIPAC. "We applaud all of the Americans who fought back yesterday, however in this election big money and lies won out and We the People who saw through the lies lost!"

Illegal alien amnesty supporters picked up one important district in North Carolina. The prior lobbyist for illegal alien amnesty, David Rouzer, won his primary in a district that was custom made for him by his allies in the NC Senate to specifically elect him to office. ALIPAC's efforts and influence played a decisive roll in stopping Rouzer in 2012 and held his ascension to office back 2 years more than he had previously planned.

While important battles to save America from illegal immigration reform amnesty designed to permanently overthrow American interest and voters while submerging the nation with unending waves of future illegal immigration were lost in the primaries, the political war to save America is not over yet!

American loyalists were able to save Congressman Walter Jones from a political coup attempt by the same pro amnesty powers buying the primary elections. Jones barely won his race against a DC lobbyist who was imported into his district to outspend him while conducting a negative campaign. Walter Jones has defied both Obama and the GOP leadership on several issues including his staunch opposition to illegal immigration and amnesty.

ALIPAC is proud to have played a role in the successful defense of Walter Jones and is now making plans to help other embattled anti-amnesty Republicans being similarly targeted by the elites like Tom McLintock (R-CA) and Steve King (R-IA).

"We must continue to fight and Americans must understand that they must do more in this battle or we will all lose our freedoms beneath the rule of the corrupt global powers that are lying and using their mega wealth to dominate US Elections." said William Gheen.

Editorial: Fight Zuckerberg's Amnesty Today!!!

Editorial


This week I wanted to point out a key North Carolina Primary race. NumbersUSA.com  points out that Tuesday's race in this district could determine the immigration direction of this country.


To quote from them:








You can read Rep. ELLMERS' website and contribute to her campaign here: http://www.reneeforcongress.com/

You can read Frank ROCHE's website and contribute to his campaign here: http://frankrocheforcongress.com/

Comparisons of the immigration positions on 12 issues can be found at:
https://www.numbersusa.com/content/elections/races/congressional/house-election/2014-north-carolina-2nd-congressional-district.html

(NumbersUSA does not endorse candidates but provides clear comparisons of how they stand on immigration issues. People receiving our emails make their decisions based on those comparisons as well as other information they can obtain about candidates' abilities and positions on other issues.)

==================================
ONLY A FEW FEATURED RACES NATIONWIDE
BUT EVERYBODY CAN PARTICIPATE
===================================

Most of you don't have a congressional race in your district that could greatly influence whether Congress passes an amnesty in the next three years -- or even this year.

But there are a handful of races across the country where voters can send a powerful message either way.

Every voter in every district can make a difference in those races by contributing campaign funds in those few districts that are not their own.

You can find the special page of FEATURED RACES at:

https://www.numbersusa.com/content/elections/races/featured

On the FEAUTURED RACES page, you will see that several other states are holding primaries later in May.

==================================
REP. ELLMERS BELIEVES CITIZENS OF
OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE RIGHT TO U.S. JOBS
==================================

Rep. Ellmers is one of the Republican incumbents that Facebook's Mark Zuckerman is running ads to re-elect. His stated goal is to protect Republicans who support giving work permits to all illegal aliens and increasing future foreign workers. His ads state that Rep. Ellmers opposes amnesty even though she openly calls for giving work permits and permanent residency to nearly all illegal aliens in the country.

She wrote a column in a local newspaper explaining her views, which can be read here: https://www.numbersusa.com/content/elections/candidates/republican/renee-ellmers.html

Perhaps the most telling quote was this:

"If an individual wants to come to this country to work, to provide for his family and contribute to his community, he should be allowed to do so."

It is difficult to see what kind of future American workers would have if that philosophy became fully implemented. But it is indeed the philosophy of the Republican leadership in the U.S. House, of the Republican National Committee, of the Obama White House and of virtually the entire Democratic Party at this time. A reporter told me this week that if somebody like Renee Ellmers isn't hurt politically by taking that stance, it is pretty clear the American public is not bothered by big increases in foreign labor.
