By the time you read this blog, the House of Representatives will have voted to repeal the innocuous sounding "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"-- more aptly described as ObamaCare--which is anything but innocuous. Is this House vote the be-all and end-all? Of course not. As much as might wish to we can't at this moment repeal and replace a health care "reform" that is laced with provisions that subsidize abortion and, if fully implemented will result in government-imposed rationing of lifesaving medical care.

But today's vote is an important jumping-off point. And as we go forward to replace ObamaCare, because pro-life Republicans now control the House, there will be hearings at which Obama administration officials will be forced to talk about all the details that were hidden from public view last year.

But none of this would have come to pass--no first step toward finding a cure for this cancer--had not the GOP re-taken the House last November. And the role of pro-lifers was absolutely critical in making that possible.

Overall, the National Right to Life PAC was extensively involved in 122 highly contest federal races nationwide. NRL PAC won 68% of them.

How about head-to-head in 20 contests against the very well-funded pro-abortion group, EMILY's List? The pro-life candidate supported by NRL PAC won 14 of those 20 races (70%).

This is not to gloat or to boast, but to merely state a fact. The road to recovery from ObamaCare is paved with the tireless efforts of pro-lifers all across this country.
