Cahill follow-up http://www.masscitizensforlife.org/timcahill.html
He would not make abortion illegal, but these answers indicate a willingness to put limits on abortion. Many are torn, the choice is to not vote for Governor or to vote for Cahill as the least Pro-abortion candidate.  Alternate view that Cahill may have had a conversion of convience, including scrubbing his Pro-Choice links from his web site.

Scott Brown stops DISCLOSE

logo
 
Harry Reid failed to get enough votes for cloture, so DISCLOSE should be dead for this session, which ends on Friday.  Votes against were 41, including Senator Brown.  DISCLOSE would have placed stringent limits on the ability of pro-life groups to communicate to the public about legislation and elections.
 
Please call Senator Brown's office and thank him for this pro-life vote.  202-224-4543 or 617-565-3170

Isn't it nice not to have to hang our Massachusetts heads all the time!

Please call now!
Thanks, Anne

Statement by MCFL State PAC concerning Cahill endorsement

logo
 
The State PAC has asked us to share with you this statement of theirs

"There has been some confusion regarding the endorsement of Tim Cahill by the MCFL State PAC. The PAC endorsed the Cahill-Loscocco ticket because the ticket is the best choice to advance the pro-life cause.

Tim Cahill made clear in two different meetings with the PAC that, while he believes that Roe is settled law, he supports parental notification, tax credits for adoptions, and as Governor he will sign pro-life legislation such as A Woman's Right to Know, a state Partial Birth Abortion Ban, and legislation making the preborn child the second victim when a pregnant woman is the victim of violence. He will also veto Physician Assisted Suicide and other anti-life legislation.  As Governor, Tim Cahill will work to create a culture of life across Massachusetts.

In both meetings, Cahill was forthright, candid and thoughtful. When looking at the candidates, the choice was clear.

Deval Patrick is the most pro-abortion Governor in Massachusetts history.

Charlie Baker did not return MCFL's candidate questionnaire. He picked a running mate, Richard Tisei, who has a long pro-abortion voting record. Baker has stated that he is 'to the left of Barack Obama on social issues.'  It is clear that Baker would not be a friend to life.

MCFL State PAC is a non-partisan group which supports the candidate most likely to help advance the cause of life.  We are proud to have endorsed Tim Cahill.  We look forward to seeing him elected Governor this Fall."

The email for Senator Brown isn't working.  The best way to contact him seems to be http://scottbrown.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contactme.
Please go to this website page and email him from there.  Praise him for his positions on Disclose and abortion funding in the military and request that he vote against confirmation for Kagan (the last email has full explanations).

I am sorry to take your extra time!

Senator Brown, lots of thanks and a request

logo
 
They say that any communication with a legislator should contain only one topic.

This week we have to contact Senator Brown about the dreadful Disclose Act, Abortions in the military,and the Kagan confirmation, all of which are expected to be voted on before the Senate recesses at the end of next week.

Usually we need to make phone calls instantly.  For these three items, emails will do as long as each of us sends three separate emails now which tell the whole message in the subject. scott_brown@brown.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contactme 

The first two are great big THANK YOU'S, These are possible subject lines:

1) THANK YOU FOR OPPOSING DISCLOSE AND CLOTURE
2) THRILLED WITH YOUR STATED OPPOSITION TO DISCLOSE
3) VERY PROUD THAT YOU ARE OPPOSING DISCLOSE

1) THANKS FOR COMMITTEE VOTE ON MILITARY ABORTIONS
2) SO GRATEFUL WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR VOTE AGAINST MILITARY ABORTIONS
3) ABORTIONS IN THE MILITARY - THANKS FOR YOUR OPPOSITION

Please send a separate email on Disclose and on funding abortions in the military.  The subject line is the most important.  Say whatever you want in the body and be sure to give your name and address as a Massachusetts resident.

As far as Kagan nomination.  To us, this is the most important of the three!   Because she is from Massachusetts, it was protocol for the two Massachusetts Senators to introduce her.  Scott Brown is polite, etc and I am afraid he feels honor-bound to vote for a "native (ha) daughter" 

Since he introduced her, however, it has come out that she put words in the mouth of the American Medical Association making it look as thought they thought Partial Birth Abortion was sometimes the only method of treatment.  In fact they had said they did not know of any situation where PAB was medically necessary.  The words she put in their mouths were used by countless judges to justify the grisly procedure.  Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop is opposing her for that reason.
Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop is opposing her for that reason.
 
Your efforts are so important - and so effective.
Thank you, Anne
 

P. S. I reprint the MCFL Press Release opposing her confirmation in case it will be of any help.

Mass Citizens for Life Urges Kerry and Brown

to Vote Against Kagan Confirmation
 
Boston- Massachusetts Citizens for Life calls on Senators Scott Brown and John Kerry to vote against confirmation of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.  The organization is concerned that Kagan espouses two ways to change the Constitution: the amendment process under Article 5 and judicial activism.
 
Ms. Kagan obviously favors the activist approach.  An example of this is her intervention in the Partial Birth Abortion Ban debate where she re-wrote the statement by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.  The AGOC had said that "in the vast majority of cases, selection of the partial birth procedure is not necessary to avert serious adverse consequences to a woman's health."  Kagan wanted to defeat the PBAB, so she added that the procedure ..."may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman." Many courts overturned the ban on the basis of her language, assuming it was that of the impartial medical experts at the ACOG.
 
According to Anne Fox, President of MCFL, "In order to influence the outcome of a political case Kagan was willing, as a White House aide, to change the official statement of an organization to which she didn't even belong!  This raises serious questions as to whether she can be trusted as a judge.  We urge Senators Brown and Kerry not to take the chance with this life-time appointment".
 
Massachusetts Citizens for Life was incorporated in 1973 and is the Commonwealth's largest pro-life organization.  MCFL is an affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee.

MCFL State PAC Endorses Tim Cahill for Governor

Boston- Madeline McComish, Chairman of MCFL State Political Action Committee, today announced that the MCFL State PAC has endorsed State Treasurer, Tim Cahill, for Governor in the November election.

Tim Cahill will be an outstanding advocate for the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly.  He will bring commonsense solutions to protecting their rights and their lives.  Cahill holds pro-life positions on all aspects of the issue, from abortion funding to informed consent, to partial birth abortion and parental consent. Very important also is his opposition to Physician Assisted Suicide which is currently being proposed in the state legislature, according to McComish.

She added, Currently pro-life people across the state are collecting signatures to repeal Obamacare.  They welcome Tim Cahills pledge to opt out of the abortion funding in Obamacare.  People remember that Cahill was the first to point out that Romneycare in Massachusetts will go bankrupt in four years, thus subjecting everyone in the state to rationing and denial of care.  The other gubernatorial candidates have publicly stated their support for the pro-choiceposition.  In other words, they support abortion and take anti-life positions on the other life issues."

MCFL State PAC is in the process of contacting pro-life people across the state and will mobilize more than 100,000 activists in Massachusetts in support of Cahill.  For more information about MCFL State PAC, please visit, http://MCFLStatePAC.intuitwebsites.com

The Obamacare Abortion Lie Is Up

logo
 
Friday, July 16, 2010, National Review Online

The Obamacare Abortion Lie Is Up   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Douglas Johnson from the National Right to Life Committee points out this afternoon that the federally funded Maryland high-risk pool was going to use federal funds for abortion coverage in their new Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP), too. Just like in Pennsylvania and New Mexico.

(National Right to Life Committee has looked through five states' documentation, and an abortion-funding siren has gone off in three of them.)

After NRLC, NR, the House Republican leader, and others highlighted this from the Pennsylvania and New Mexico plans this week, the Department of Health and Human Services finally issued a release yesterday assuring that they will, in fact, issue guidelines forbidding abortion coverage in the Obamacare federally funded PCIP state programs.

And today, the National Women's Law Center, among others, are upset with the administration for saying they'll do such a thing.

Which means the lie is up: Obamcare never prohibited abortion funding. It's a matter of administrative discretion.

The Obama administration and other Democrats have been hawking the myths that
a) there is some kind of global Hyde amendment that forbids all federally funded abortions and b) the executive order solves all problems.

If a and b were true, how were any state plans approved that were covering abortions?

The truth of the matter is that news today that Maryland was planning on funding abortions in their high-risk pool is but the tip of the iceberg. Don't be surprised if another story drops. And if it's not a high-risk pool. And the administration will have to provide a new myth or actually act as HHS is saying it plans to to prohibit that which is not currently prohibited.

But don't expect them to admit they've been lying to us all this time.

From MCFL:
States are attempting to sneak in abortion any way they can and we have to stop it piecemeal.  We need a law!
Congressman Joe Pitts (R, Pa) and Dan Lipinski (D, Ill) have filed HR5111, "Protect Life Act", which would amend Obamacare to restrict the several different ways in which the measure funds abortions.  HR 5111 restores the Stupak language to ObamaCare.  There are 115 co-sponsors.

So far no Massachusetts Congressmen have co-sponsored the bill.  Certainly Congressmen Lynch and Neal, who voted for original language in Stupak, are logical co-sponsors.
 
Please call your own Congressman urging him or her to co-sponsor HR 5111, the Protect Life Act.  Then please contact someone you know who lives in the Lynch or Neal district and make sure that person calls also.

"Bad Medicine: A Guide to the Real Costs and Consequences..." and Obamacare approves first tax-funded abortions

logo
Bad MedicineNational Review Online interviews the author of a new Cato Institute report on Obamacare.  The financial implications for seniors, workers, people who are unemployed, and young people is even worse than we thought.  The report concludes that repeal of Obamacare is the only thing which will save medical care in this country.  The author expresses concern about the will of Republicans in Congress to repeal.

The Obama Administration has just allocated $160 million tax dollars for insurance plans in Pennsylvania that cover any legal abortion.  http://www.lifenews.com/nat6531.html

If you are not already working on your Repeal Obamacare Petitions, please go to www.masscitizensforlife.org to print out the petition.  You will also see an example of the "push" card.  We have thousands of these informative cards for you to hand out which we'll be glad to send to you. Please let us know how many you want and where to send them.  Email <action@masscitizensforlife.org> or call the MCFL office (617-242-4199) for your cards. 

As you fill petitions, please return them to the MCFL office, 529 Main Street, Charlestown, 02129.  You can put one stamp on an envelope that has five petitions in it. So fill five and then five more... 

We must get tens of thousand of people to sign the MCFL Repeal Obamacare Petitions!  We must put backbone into Congress.  If we don't, each of us will have no access to quality health care by 2014 and people will die in droves! 

I am ready to send you petitions and cards!  Thanks, Anne

Mass. Citizens for Life Board press release on sale of Caritas Christi Health Care System

logo

For Immediate Release:                                  For More Information:
July 13, 2010                                                 Marie Sturgis (617) 242-4199

Mass Citizens for Life Board Seeks Removal of

Controversial Proviso in Caritas Christi Health Care Sale
 
 
Boston The Board of Directors of Massachusetts Citizens for Life has expressed serious concern about a proviso in the sale of the Caritas Christi Health Care system by the Archdiocese of Boston.  The Board urges the Archdiocese to remove this proviso or to work with the buyers to appoint an independent committee consisting of experts in the fields of medical ethics and health care financing, who have proven adherence to the Caritas commitment to life, to fully vet any decision to end compliance with the Ethical and Religious Directives of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

 

The Steward Health Care System, a subsidiary of Cerberus Capital Management, will be running the hospitals.  Steward has agreed to abide by the ERDs, thus continuing the pro-life commitment of the hospitals.  If, however, Steward decides that compliance with the ERDs would jeopardize the welfare of its patients, employees, or the community it serves, it can pay the Archdiocese twenty-five million dollars to end compliance.

 

The MCFL Board reasons that this escape clause provides inadequate protection to pro-life physicians and patients and threatens the existence of pro-life hospitals in Massachusetts.  It could result in the Caritas hospitals providing abortion and rationing care, thus ending the systems commitment to pro-life principles.

 

According to Anne Fox, President of the organization, Massachusetts Citizens for Life has always been grateful for the hospitals in the Caritas Christi Health Care system. While MCFL is a non-sectarian organization, having hospitals where patients can go to receive ethical medical care has been very important whether it be a woman with a problem pregnancy or a person who needs food and hydration administered artificially.  Pro-life medical professionals have been able to practice in good conscience. We feel every effort must be made to ensure continuation of these ethical standards
