1.       Abortionists Biskind and Steir face prison sentences for deaths of abortion patients.

2.       Abortionist in Massachusetts threatens to harm his staff, and the pro-aborts defend him because there is a shortage of abortion providers in that state.

3.       In Covington, NY, man slips abortifacient into drink of woman who was pregnant with his baby but refused to have an abortion. The baby survives.

4.       In Utah, a girl’s stepfather has incestuous relationship with her, gets her pregnant, then takes her in for an abortion. When girl tells her mother, the man assaults both females as a warning not to tell anyone else. He has since been arrested.

5.       A judge has ruled that (pro-lifer) Neal Horsley’s slander suit against Geraldo Rivera can go forward. Horsley sued Rivera because on his Live show, Rivera claimed that fault for the death of slain abortionists belonged to Horsley because of a web-site the pro-lifer maintained.

6.       Senate is trying to pass legislation that would prohibit pro-lifers from filing bankruptcy if they are sued.

·        Consistency in the Pro-Life Movement

1.       Horror of all abortions not just late-term.

2.       The location of the baby when it is killed during an abortion should make no difference.

3.       Baby Parts Marketing and Partial-Birth Abortion get the attention because they happen outside the womb.

4.       The focus of pro-lifers should not be on the brutality (all abortions are brutal), but on the killing itself.

5.       Pro-lifers must address the earliest abortions also. i.e. morning-after pill; abortifacient birth control.

6.       Incremental approach to legislation offers no legal protection to the unborn.

7.       If you accept no exceptions to the pro-life position from the moment of fertilization through natural death, then you need no apologies.

8.       There are pro-life arguments out there, which suggest that some lives are more worthy of living than others are. This is morally indefensible.

 

·        Pro-Life 101 – Ways that pro-aborts try to denigrate adoption as an option to an unplanned pregnancy.

 

·        Post-Election Strategies

1.       We had 12 years of pro-life Presidents and yet we gained nothing. Every baby conceived in America can still legally be aborted.

2.       Christians are responsible for holding President Bush accountable.

3.       It is well within the President’s powers to do something about abortion.

4.       Bush did reinstate the Mexico City policy, which keeps U.S. funds from being used to kill babies in other countries, but this does not help American babies.

5.       Bush will do no more on the abortion issue than what we make him do.

6.       For this reason, LDI has created the First Step Initiative, which is a petition asking the President to do two things to stop abortion in this country.

7.       The first action is to set up a committee whose sole purpose will be to develop and implement a plan to stop abortion in America.

8.       The second action is to create a public service campaign that will prepare the American public for this event. It will be modeled after the anti-drug, tobacco, violence campaigns that are already in effect.

9.       The petitions are available at LDI and are on-line also.

10.    All petitions must be returned to LDI by July 31, 2001.

11.    Ideas on where to collect signatures.

 

·        Soapbox – Pro-lifer Christine Wilson is fired from her job at U.S. West Communications for wearing a button that stated, “Stop Abortion.”

 

·        Action Cards Project

1.       LDI has created 10 different business size cards with a pro-life message on them. These can be left in a multitude of places, and the goal is to help spread the pro-life message throughout the country.

2.       These cards sell for $2.50 per 100.

3.       The 10 cards that are available have the following messages:

A.      Breast Cancer - Over 30 medical studies now show that having an abortion substantially increases a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer.

B.      Call it Choice or Call it Murder. You certainly can’t call it medicine. …

C.      The Cost of an Abortion: 1 Dead 1 Wounded

D.      It’s a fact – of the 4000 abortions performed in America every single day, virtually none are performed on women who are pregnant through either rape or incest.
