‘Most pro-life’ Congress sworn in


by John Jalsevac

Rep. John Boehner and new House Speaker takes the House gavel from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. WASHINGTON, DC, January 5, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Today marked the swearing in of what some, including pro-life Representative Chris Smith, have labeled the “most pro-life” congress in living memory, and possibly even in history.



Ninety-four new House members were sworn in, as well as 13 new senators. Republicans now hold a 242-193 majority in the House, while Democrats hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate.



Besides the overall shift from Democrat to Republican majority in the House, one of the more dramatic changes is the replacement of Nancy Pelosi, a radical abortion supporter, with the staunch pro-life advocate Rep. John Boehner as Speaker of the House.



Boehner has a long pro-life history, enjoying a 0% pro-choice voting record from the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) and a 100% pro-life voting record from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC).



Americans United for Life President and CEO Charmaine Yoest today welcomed the new Congress, saying in a statement: “I predict that we will see changes in President Obama’s pro-abortion health care plan and in other pro-life measures as a result of pro-life leadership taking their places in Washington, D.C. today.”



In his opening speech to the House Boehner promised that that the Republican majority would honor their “Pledge to America,” a document outlining the GOP’s agenda that included a section pledging to eliminate federal funding of abortion. The preamble of the “Pledge” states, “We pledge to honor families, traditional marriage, life, and the private and faith-based organizations that form the core of our American values.”



The new Speaker also invoked his Catholic faith to provide an image of the meaning of true service: “In the Catholic faith, we enter into a season of service by having ashes marked on our foreheads,” he said. “The ashes remind us that life in all its forms is fragile - our time on this Earth, fleeting. As the ashes are delivered, we hear those humbling words: ‘Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.’



One of the top priorities for the new Republican House majority will be the repeal, or at least the amendment, of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known to some as Obamacare.



And they’re not wasting any time.



On January 7, the House will vote on a resolution to move forward with repeal of the pro-abortion health care reform law. If the resolution passes, the House is expected to vote on the law’s repeal on Wednesday, January 12.



In coming days the House will also be considering the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” sponsored by Rep. Smith, which will create a government-wide statutory prohibition on taxpayer funding of abortion.



They will also be considering the “Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act,” sponsored by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), which would ensure that tax dollars are not sent to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood under Title X family planning funds.



Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council said today that Pence’s bill “is becoming even more important now that Planned Parenthood has told all of its affiliates they are required to perform abortions or lose the organization’s support.”



Today the Susan B Anthony List announced that it is mobilizing its 280,000-member grassroots network to lobby the new Members of Congress to vote for the repeal of the health care law. SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said that “keeping abortion out of health care - as the antitheses to it - was the critical issue with enough votes to stop or pass healthcare.”



“We call on Congress to repeal this law that destroys life using our tax dollars,” she said.

Palin: Nov. Election a Battle between "Culture of Life" and "Culture of Death"

Palin: Nov. Election a Battle between "Culture of Life" and "Culture of Death"



By Kathleen Gilbert



HOUSTON, Texas, October 6, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has insisted that abortion will be an "essential" issue in upcoming midterm elections, especially for those incumbents who backed the abortion-laden federal health care reform.



Palin told members of the pro-life group Heroic Media in Texas Tuesday that the upcoming battle for congressional seats would prove a clash between the "culture of life" and the "culture of death," as Americans angry over the health care push take to the polls, reports CNN.



By signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, President Obama greenlighted "the biggest advance of the abortion industry in America," Palin told the audience of over 2,500.



"That's why it's essential that we use the 2010 midterms to elect a Congress that will make undoing the damage of Obamacare its first priority," she said.



Every crucial stage in the health care bill's advance towards law - including passage in the House, the Senate, and its final passage through Congress - hinged upon the measure's handling of abortion. House Democrat holdouts against the bill were eventually swayed to support it on condition that President Obama would sign an Executive Order related to the issue, a document pro-life leaders and even Planned Parenthood later dismissed as a mere symbolic gesture.



Americans United for Life and the Susan B. Anthony List have both launched campaigns targeting vulnerable House Democrats who capitulated to support the bill.



Palin also defended the "Restore Honor" rally hosted by Glenn Beck in August, at which she also spoke, against media reports that she said underestimated the "hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people" who showed up to support a moral renewal in America.



"The answer to the challenges in our country are to restore honor and to rededicate our country to God and to serve our father God," she said.



Politico noted that Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) last week also championed a moral awakening in America at a gathering of the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition.



"A vision for a better America must recognize that our present crisis is not merely economic and political but moral in nature," said Pence.



"To those who say that marriage doesn't matter," he continued, "I say: 'You would not be able to print enough money in 1,000 years to pay for the government you would need if the traditional family continues to collapse.' We are at our strongest when fiscal and social conservatives are united."
