The Pro-Life Week in Review
By Dave Andrusko
As we end the week, I’m reminded that not everyone has a
chance to read all the stories we post at “Today’s News
& Views” and “National Right to Life News Today.” So let
me feature some of the highlights and provide links that
will take you directly to the stories.

Utah State Rep. Carl Wimmer |
Few stories can surpass the importance of the drive to
eliminate all forms of federal funding for Planned
Parenthood, the largest provider of abortion (over
300,000 annually). Members of the U.S. House of
Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and President Obama
are engaged in negotiations about which federal programs
should be reduced or eliminated for the remainder of the
current federal fiscal year.
PPFA is using all of its financial muscle to save its
federal funding. Please go to
www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/March11/nv031011.html
where you will be shown how you can share your feelings
with your two U.S. senators and your representative in
the House of Representatives.
We continue to run story after story about, and excerpt
after excerpt from a grand jury report about the
horrific conditions in abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s
clinics. Gosnell, charged with eight counts of murder,
is not the only abortionist whom the state Health
Department found endangering patients, as we talked
about yesterday (http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/March11/nv031011part4.html
and today.
There’s plenty of good news from the state legislatures
(
http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2011/03/state-legislative-action-an-update/
; and
http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/March11/nv031011part2.html).
There is real movement on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child
Protection Act, abortion clinic regulation, and
sonograms for abortion-vulnerable women.
That forward movement is for many reasons, including
that the public supports such measures and believes they
will reduce the number of abortions (http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2011/03/rrfindssupport/#more-369).
A principal target of NARAL and Planned Parenthood are
women-helping centers. Passage of harassment legislation
seemed to as good as done in Washington State. Not so! (http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2011/03/victory-snatched-from-the-jaws-of-defeat/#more-361).
There is much, much more but let me end with two items.
First, Jonathan Imbody does a brilliant job exposing the
nonsensical idea that pro-abortion President Obama is
seeking “common ground” on abortion (http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/March11/nv030911part3.html).
If you have a few minutes, I believe you will enjoy “The
Impending Collapse” (http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/March11/nv031011part3.html).
Have a great weekend!
