STOP Federal Funding of Abortion!!!

Posted by admin on 9 March 2010, 11:10 am

**ACTION ALERT From Colorado Citizens for Life,
state affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee **

Dear Friend for Life,

As expected, President Obama and his ideological allies have announced their plan to ram through the House of Representatives the incredibly anti-life Senate bill they passed in the wee hours of Christmas Eve.

It doesn’t matter to these people that Americans overwhelmingly oppose Obamacare because they do NOT want federal funding of elective abortion.

It doesn’t matter to them that Americans do NOT want the radical Medicare cuts and diminished medical services that will inevitably lead to rationing.

It doesn’t matter to them that Americans do NOT want to violate the precious conscience rights of ethical doctors and nurses committed to “do no harm.”

Aiming for a March 20th vote (or March 21 — admin), Obama et al are twisting arms, making deals, and offering bribes…like the just-announced federal-judgeship for Scott Matheson, whose brother, Rep. Jim Matheson, was originally a ‘no’ vote.

United with pro-life groups across the country, we’re fighting to ensure crucial decisions about your health care and coverage remain in your hands, not turned over to bureaucrats.

But all of us, now, must speak up one more time… and with one message!

So even if you’ve contacted your Member of Congress about this in the past, we ask you – at this critical time – to make another call RIGHT NOW.

Strongly urge your Representative to OPPOSE the Senate health care bill.

Say you think it would be inexcusably irresponsible to vote for this awful bill based on feeble and unpersuasive promises about some other bill that might — or more likely, might not — be enacted at some point later on.

Rep. Diana DeGette   (202-225-4431)
Rep. Jared Polis   (202-225-2161)
Rep. John Salazar   (202-225-4761)
Rep. Betsy Markey   (202-225-4676)
Rep. Doug Lamborn   (202-225-4422)
Rep. Mike Coffman   (202-225-7882)
Rep. Ed Perlmutter   (202-225-2645)

P.S. If the Representative’s staff person insists that the bill does not allow federal funding of abortion (a now-familiar ploy), politely point out that you have access to detailed information which proves it does.  Then, share the information from our recent PPCFL Blog Post!

NOTE:  Among other things, the bill contains — buried deep within its 2400 pages — a provision for $7 BILLION (Mr. Obama wants $11 BILLION) for community health centers or CHCs.  Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain, already gets $350 million of our taxes.  Yet it meets the CHC criteria!

Video Links: The Call

Posted by cleta on 4 March 2010, 5:48 am

A brand new country music star, Matt Kennon, has made headlines with hit single, “The Call.”  CountryMusic Television played the music video for “The Call,” which is now making its way across the nation via the Internet.

Playing his guitar, Kennon sings about the lives of two individuals that would have ended very differently way if a phone call had not been made at the time of great need.

The first is a young, despairing Marine at the point of reaching for his gun to commit suicide. His cell phone rings. It is a friend, asking him to join in a motorboat outing. The girl the Marine likes will be there and she is excited to learn that he might join the fun. He changes his mind about suicide and joins the outing.

The second is the story of two 18-year-olds who “had let a kiss go too far” in the backseat of a car. The young man pressures his girlfriend into scheduling an abortion. As she sits weeping in the “clinic,” her phone rings. Her boyfriend asks her not to have the abortion; tells her he’s bought a ring and wants to marry her.  Kennon’s own birth mother planned to abort him, but her doctor said she was two weeks past the legal limit.  His birth father never intervened – and actually tried to sell Kennon on the adoption black market for $10,000.  Kennon considers his adoptive parents to be his real parents; that he has been very blessed from the day they welcomed him into their lives. He grew up playing drums and singing at Bethel Christian Church in
Conyers, Georgia.

Hear the song and see the video at CMT or check it out here:  You’ll be glad you did!

Video Links: A Young Voice Worth Hearing

Posted by admin on 4 March 2010, 4:50 am

Lia Mills is a 13-year-old Canadian girl with a sharp intellect, a passion for life in all its phases, and the courage to speak her mind!

As LifeSiteNews reported this week:

In another powerful and articulate address, the young Toronto native explores the devastating consequences Canada would face if it welcomed euthanasia, and implores Canadians to find ways of caring for suffering patients rather than killing them.

Lia’s speech on abortion last year, which won her school’s public speaking competition, has now been viewed over 850,000 times on Youtube.  The story was LSN’s most popular good news story of 2009, and she shared a revised version of the speech at last year’s National March for Life in Ottawa.

Without further ado, here’s Lia on abortion:

and on euthanasia:

Sidewalk Counseling Training – March 2010 – RESCHEDULED!

Posted by admin on 3 March 2010, 9:59 pm

WHEN: Saturday, Mar. 20, 2010. 12:00 – 3:00 pm
WHERE: Pike Peak Citizens for Life (PPCFL) Office (707-R N. Nevada)

UPDATE:  TRAINING IS RESCHEDULED for April 17, on account of snow/icy conditions in the Pikes Peak region and southern CO (attendees were coming from as far as Trinidad!).

Do we truly want to live in a community that protects life?

The parking lot of Planned Parenthood (PP) on West Colorado Ave is full every Thursday, Friday and Saturday with young women – many scared and confused – going for abortions.

A growing number of pro-life people come to PP on Saturday mornings to pray beside sidewalk counselors who pass out information and speak with the abortion-minded moms and dads. The number of counselors is growing, but more help is needed.

Do you feel called to reach out to these parents-to-be, but don’t know what to say? Then come to the next Sidewalk Counseling training on Saturday, March 20 at the PPCFL office.

To get more info or to reserve your place in the class, call PPCFL today at (719) 630-1999.
