Death and illegals in Dems' demands. . .

Dear John,

Please read the forwarded email below from our friends at FRC Action.

Dear Friend,

Democrats have shut down the government while demanding ransom money to kill children and fund illegal aliens. Your voice can tip the balance today. Republicans must not trade the lives of defenseless children and illegal aliens to appease the Democrats.

In 2024, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urged Congress to pass a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) to avert a “harmful and unnecessary government shutdown.” On September 16, 2024, Schumer said that average Americans suffer most during a shutdown, including potential chaos for Social Security recipients, halted VA services, and military personnel working without pay.

But in 2025, Schumer is the puppet of AOC and demands funding for abortion and illegals.

This is the breaking point when “nonessential” programs get exposed — or when members smuggle abortion and other anti-life provisions into “must-pass” funding.

EVERYTHING WE HAVE FOUGHT FOR RESTS ON THIS BUDGET VOTE. This may be our last chance to block taxpayer funding for abortion and expanded IVF — all paid for with our tax dollars.

FAX CONGRESS

Washington has a bad habit of burying life-killing policies under thousands of pages of text. When Congress tries to jam policy through under pressure, details get buried. Abortion funding is inserted and embryo-destroying funding is expanded.

Some ACA Marketplace plans (aka Obamacare) still include abortion coverage where states allow it, even when the Hyde Amendment forbids using federal funds for abortions except in limited cases. Don’t let the call to “keep the government open” become a Trojan horse for reviving abortion funding.

Our sources on Capitol Hill have told us that in both chambers, a new IVF and embryo policy has been included. There is a fast-moving push to expand taxpayer-funded IVF and broaden TRICARE, a Medicare wrap-around coverage, to include abortion and IVF.

If this budget moves forward, it could create thousands — even millions — of children, frozen, suspended in time. We cannot create (and then abandon) these children with our tax dollars. Tell Congress that stewardship of public dollars should never normalize treating nascent human life as laboratory waste.

Defunding abortion is non-negotiable — do not let Democrats reverse protections or channel new funds to Planned Parenthood. Do not fund abortion and Planned Parenthood to appease the Democrats.

Anything can happen between the House and Senate during reconciliation. We must guard against abortion being used as a bargaining chip.

The House already passed a strong pro-life budget. That bill defunded Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. But it could be erased.

The next step is the final high-stakes round during reconciliation.

Send your faxes to Congress right now. Insist that members fully defund abortion providers in this budget.

Tell Congress — no abortion funding, no denigration of life, no funding illegal aliens — period. Demand a clean, life-honoring funding bill that:

Protects Hyde across the bill and related guidance — no back-door workarounds in Obamacare subsidies or billing rules.
Blocks abortion by bureaucracy — no mail-order abortion end runs by enforcing the Comstock Act nationwide.
Blocks all “pass-through” programs that launder funds through agencies.
Halts federal expansion of embryo-destructive IVF and insists on ethical alternatives and strong embryo protections before one more dollar moves.
Prioritizes what is truly essential and cuts life-hostile add-ons in a midnight rush.

When leaders show the courage to challenge powerful industries, the media machine howls. Our job is to be the backbone and the pro-life guardrails on Capitol Hill — before buttons are pushed and documents are signed.

FAX CONGRESS

When believers speak up today, leaders get cover to do the right thing: Keep Hyde strong, stop stealth abortion subsidies, protect embryonic life, and strip life-hostile riders from a late-night deal. That’s how we turn a shutdown scramble into a pro-life standard.

Stand firm in this hour.

P.S. This is a critical fight. Fax Congress now and tell them to pass a life-honoring budget — no abortion funding, no embryo destruction.

Then help push this message to thousands more with a recurring or single gift so we don’t yield a single inch in the next round.

Don't forget to sign our petition if you haven't already.
