Life In The Obamanation 
It's going to be rough. It's going to be a fight every step of the way. President-Elect Barack Obama wants the Freedom of Choice Act passed by both Houses so that he can sign it into law. The bill would undo virtually every restriction and regulation on the practice of abortion put into place during the past 35 years.

When he gets the chance, there is no doubt that he will nominate to the federal bench and the Supreme Court people who believe as he does, that the human being in the womb has no rights under the United States Constitution. He does not believe that the rights to life and liberty are inherent and come from God. That sort of principled thinking is, as he said, "above his pay grade."

We now have a Congress that will work to carry out the new President's agenda. Republicans are in the minority in both Houses and, among them are the usual suspects, RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) who often vote with the Democrats on various bills, including those dealing with social and cultural issues.

Keep in mind that they are all united in pursuit of one single goal above all others. Members of the House want to get re-elected in two years. U.S. Senators who will be up for election in 2010 have the same goal. The time-worn maxim still applies-"when they feel the heat, they will see the light." Potential loss of votes is a great motivator.

It's our job to make them feel the heat. That means our telephones should be at the ready on a moment's notice so that we can make those phone calls into congressional offices demanding a pro-life vote. We will pass the information along to you as we receive it.

You are receiving this message via e-mail. If you haven't created a group in your address book, please do so now. Do this by grouping your family members, friends, and colleagues so that by sending one e-mail message to the group you reach dozens-even hundreds of individuals who need the information so that they too, can make calls. They in turn can be encouraged to form their own groups. Imagine the "heat" that can be generated by all those pro-lifers working together to stop Obama's freight train!

Barack Obama has already announced that he will repeal President Bush's Executive Order prohibiting taxpayer funding of research that involves the killing of human embryos. He intends to see to it that the Hyde Amendment will not be attached to next year's appropriations bill. No doubt he will nominate an abortion advocate and abstinence education opponent as Secretary of Health and Human Services. And, that's just the beginning.

This is a fight worth making. Are you ready?
