Dear John,
I know that you care about protecting unborn babies. Believe it or not, recent polls report that 34 percent of self-identified Democrats in the U.S. also consider themselves "pro-life."
So, what does the Left think about this horrific practice?
On June 22, twenty Democratic leaders descended on Columbia, South Carolina for a forum sponsored by Planned Parenthood Action Fund. The event was called "We Decide," a telling indicator that pro-abortion special interests are where party power lies.
One after another, these leftist politicians pledged to topple every pro-life law, whether federal or state. Their goal: legalized abortion up to birth and paid for with your tax dollars!
Long gone are the days of "safe, legal, and rare." Now the pro-abortion lobby is fighting tooth and nail to stop common-sense measures like parental notification laws for minors or requiring abortion providers to have hospital-admitting privileges if complications arise.
As cultural battles grow larger, FRC is standing on the front lines to protect the free expression of faith, our families, and our freedoms from this radical liberal agenda.
DONATE NOW
Since our founding in 1983, FRC has played a critical role, informing Americans about what is really happening and mobilizing to counter attempts to undermine biblical values in our government.
As engaged citizens, we are wise to remain aware of key events affecting the issues of faith, family, and freedom. Our approach to political education begins where we start with every issue: the Bible.
Romans 13 tells us governing authorities are instituted by God. Further, the Apostle Paul says the government is "God's servant" ordained to administer justice.
The U.S. knows no greater injustice today than abortion-on-demand, as nearly one million defenseless lives in the womb are snuffed out every year. Since 1973, our nation has lost more than 60 million babies to abortion.
Their extremes know no bounds.
One Democratic leader, Julian Castro, even proposed that we need to "cover the right to an abortion" for a transfemale! To be clear, a transfemale is also known as a biological male; so, no worries there about pregnancy.
No wonder a recent extensive national survey revealed that 57 percent of all general-election voters say the Democratic Party is becoming "culturally extreme."
We can't trust the media to tell the truth, as the cultural debates around life, marriage, and religious liberties make clear.
But FRC ensures you stay informed on events that affect the issues you care about. It takes significant resources for FRC to produce our daily radio show and distribute it to more than 330 radio stations nationwide.
Our state-of-the-art TV studio provides the means for me and other FRC leaders to go on national news networks and speak truth on current headlines. That's why we are asking for your gift today, to advance our message across the nation.
DONATE NOW
The Left has made clear what their vision is for America: abortion-on-demand at taxpayer expense.
To cite Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as one example, she has made Medicare for All a centerpiece of her legislative agenda. Independent estimates state this proposal would cost the federal government roughly $30 trillion in its first decade. But wait, there's more!
In May, Warren unveiled her abortion policy statement. "We should ensure that all future health coverage -- including Medicare for All -- includes contraception and abortion coverage," she stated.
We can try to recalculate the cost to include Warren's wish, but the value of innocent lives is incalculable.
In a time when most media outlets are either sympathetic to or outright aiding the Left, while mocking those who hold a biblical worldview, who will affirm the truth about life?
At FRC, we are not about to give up this fight. Not only do Americans overwhelmingly support our nation's bedrock principles, but our stand together is right and essential to our future.
