Dear John,
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has given the pro-life movement renewed motivation to continue speaking about the necessity of protecting unborn life. But currently, politicians and parties are running from the cause of life rather than to it.
Protecting our children, who are created in the image of God, should be the cause of every generation. Those who want to harm and destroy never rest. The radically pro-abortion Left is relentlessly pushing an agenda that threatens not only the sanctity of life but also the safety and well-being of our kids.
How can we put our Children First if we don't protect them when they're in the womb?
Recently, Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the Right to Contraception Act. What's not evident from this bill's name is that it is a dangerous step toward expanding abortion access and undermining state laws designed to protect the unborn. Although the bill is touted as a measure to ensure contraceptive access, it is deceptively worded and will pave the way for federal protection of chemical abortion pills.
In response, we must remain steadfast in advocating for the protection of our children. We must speak out against policies that endanger them and push back against attempts to normalize radical ideologies that harm them.
At FRC, we have stood for the rights of every unborn child since our founding in 1983, and we won't back down now. We're educating policymakers and politicians with the resources they need that can enable them to take a stand for the most vulnerable members of society, and we're mobilizing faithful Christians to protect life at the ballot box and in their communities.
Together, we can ensure that the safety and dignity of our kids remain a top priority in all legislative and social discussions.
This week, we're putting children first, even when those around us won't. It's all part of our Children First campaign. You can take part today by partnering with FRC and taking advantage of our $300,000 Challenge Match, allowing you to triple your impact. And when you give $30 or more, we'll send you a copy of the groundbreaking book Raising Spiritual Champions by George Barna. Don't wait; you only have until September 20 to take advantage of this opportunity!
PROTECT OUR KIDS!
The Left has abortion as their primary focus this election cycle. From mobile abortion busses at the Democratic National Convention to Vice President Harris expressing unwavering support for abortion, it's abundantly clear that the priorities of the Left do not place our Children First. But even some in the Republican Party, which has long held a pro-life position, are wavering in their defense of life!
Make no mistake, our children are at the heart of this battle. A child in the womb is equal in dignity and value to a child who has already been born, so we must work to protect them. Every time we hear arguments from the Left about "freedom" in the context of abortion and gender ideology, we must remember that freedom does not include the right to kill.
Politicians on the Left and media talking heads are also outright lying about the reality of their agenda. During last week's presidential debate, Kamala Harris falsely claimed that "Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion." In fact, 21 states allow abortion until birth, and some states don't have any protections in place to ensure that infants who are born alive following an abortion are given necessary medical treatment.
In 2019, then-Virginia Governor Ralph Northam seemed to express support for infanticide when he stated, "The infant would be delivered...kept comfortable...resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue..." The logical conclusion of his statement is that if the mother and the family didn't want the baby to be "resuscitated," then the baby would be left to die.
Yet, we're told by Leftist politicians and the media that this isn't happening, even as politicians like then-Senator Kamala Harris repeatedly voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would require that the same lifesaving medical care be given to abortion survivors as any other infant born at the same gestational age. Only three Democrats in the Senate broke ranks with their party to vote for this common-sense legislation.
We must stand firm in our commitment to protect these vulnerable lives from the dangers posed by the proliferation of abortion and other practices that devalue human life. FRC is tracking legislative protections for infants across the country through our policy publications, pro-life maps, and more.
When you partner with us today, you'll help to create a world in which every human life, no matter how small, is protected from the moment of conception. It's all part of our Children First campaign! Don't hesitate; take advantage of our $300,000 Challenge Match and have 3x the impact. And remember, with your gift of $30 or more, we'll send you a copy of George Barna's Raising Spiritual Champions!
DEFEND THE UNBORN AND ABORTION SURVIVORS
We cannot allow the Left's radical abortion agenda to continue. Lives are quite literally at stake, and while the pro-abortion crowd attempts to mask their barbaric goals in language about "freedom" and "health care," we have to remember that this is an issue that impacts the lives of Children First.
Your involvement is crucial. If we all stand together and work to protect the unborn and abortion survivors, then we can turn the tide in this cultural battle.
No matter what happens in our political order, FRC is committed to putting our kids first by standing up for life, and we won't stop until there's a prevailing culture in which all human life has the freedom to thrive.
When you partner with us, you bring that vision much closer, and you help save children's lives across the country. Partner with FRC today to put Children First and defend their right to life.
Act now to take advantage of this important opportunity through our Children First campaign before September 20!
