Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
May 11, 2022
Today, the Senate will vote on an abortion bill that is so radical it will force all 50 states and U.S. territories to continue abortion all nine months and erase every state law that protects women with information, requirements for care and much more.
Late last night, news broke that the supposedly “pro-life” Democrat Sen. Bill Casey (D-PA) will support some of the abortion bills in the Senate now. He already wanted to destroy the filibuster. This makes the thin margin to block this bill even thinner.
Today’s vote is a critical moment. If this bill does not pass, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will try to blow up the Senate with the “nuclear option” and abolish the filibuster rule, which only requires 51 votes. The result would be disastrous.
Sen. Schumer said, “I want to be clear: [Today’s] vote is not an abstract exercise; this is as real and as high stakes as it gets.” The pro-abortionists know it. The senators must hear from us, because we guarantee they are hearing from the abortion mobs surrounding the Supreme Court and the homes of the Justices.
The lives of 63 million children have already been lost. They need someone to speak for them. Send your urgent faxes to as many senators as possible to demand they block this deadly bill right now! — Your Faith & Liberty team
The U.S. Senate’s vote today is the first counterattack against life. It will be a key window into the Senate ahead of the midterms. But it is also the first of several steps to pass a radical abortion bill and to abolish the filibuster.
Senators have a front-row seat to the mobs targeting the Supreme Court Justices. Police are stationed outside the Justices’ homes while crowds of protesters chant, “Abort the court!” We can’t report some of what is being shouted at the Justices. Please pray for the Justices and their families.
Obscene gestures and comments were hurled, and candles were burned outside Justices’ private homes in a candlelight vigil for Roe v. Wade. It is illegal to protest outside the Justices' home to try to change their vote. But there were no arrests.
The U.S. Supreme Court building has armed security guards and multiple layers of fencing. Streets are closed. So are the sidewalks. There are extra security guards at the Capitol building. The culture of death is out in full force, and it is chilling.
Today’s vote is on a bill to instantly erase every pro-life law passed in the last 50 years, and it will even give children as young as 12 unfettered access to abortion all nine months without parental involvement! Your urgent faxes can make a difference. Please do not remain silent. Fax the Senate to stop this deadly bill and give these precious children the chance to live.
People are already screaming for the murder of these Justices. However, these illegal and dangerous protests are not enough for Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who tweeted, “To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community — the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms. We will not surrender our rights without a fight — a fight to victory!” (emphasis added).
Mayor Lightfoot is actively seeking to escalate what is already happening!
Again, don’t forget the most powerful man in the Senate, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, stood outside the Supreme Court two years ago and made threatening statements directed at Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh if they were to overturn Roe v. Wade:
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price [audience cheers]. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
When key Democrat Party leadership is actively working to whip up a protest of people who support death-from-abortion by spewing threats against the members of the highest court in America, then we can expect to see more threats and more violence against citizens everywhere. It’s already happening.
Now Schumer wants the Senate to overturn the upcoming Supreme Court decision and push abortion into every corner of America. Send faxes right away to block this bill, protect the filibuster and give these children a chance to grow, laugh, play and learn.
Michigan’s governor claimed, “If we do not use every level of power we have right now ... Americans will suffer and may die.”
What is dangerous is the more they say that people will die if Roe is overturned, the more they will encourage violence against the Justices, the senators, churches, pro-life centers and others.
The pro-life organization Concerned Women of America, based in Alexandria, VA, just reported vandalism at their location. But violence is not new for those who stand for life. The pro-abortion group, Ruth Sent Us, is encouraging people to disrupt churches. The group posted:
Stuff your rosaries and your weaponized prayer. We will remain outraged after this weekend, so keep praying. We’ll be burning the Eucharist to show our disgust…
We are working every day on Capitol Hill to end this culture of death, but we can only do this because of the support of our friends and donors. Support Faith & Liberty by selecting here or the button below.
Never give up. Do not underestimate the opposition. We cannot rest until abortion is unthinkable. Together, we can win this fight.
