Colorado Democrat Pushes Bill to Fund Abortions After Ruling

Just days after a ruling by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth putting an injunction on President Obama’s executive order funding abortions, a congresswoman from Colorado is pushing legislation to bypass the ruling. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) had attempted, before the injunction, to make the executive order a law. And, although the Obama Administration has indicated it will appeal the ruling, DeGette has indicated she wants Congress to consider the bill when it returns from its August recess. She is likely to push hard for this bill, as congress is expected to be dramatically more pro-life after the November elections.

“BE A HERO FOR LIFE’

Do you have what it takes to be a hero? Would you like to know how it feels to save a life?

Each and every day thousands of babies die because of a choice. Are these babies being killed needlessly because their mothers did not know of the alternatives that were readily available to them to possibly save their baby’s life and avoid a life-time of pain and regret? Were they offered an ultrasound to see their baby’s beating heart or to count the fingers and toes on their child’s tiny hands and feet?

Arizona Right to Life is on the front lines every day engaged in the battle to protect these unborn children from abortion and to protect their mothers from being exploited by abortion. AZRTL wages this battle with comprehensive educational programs about the horrors of abortion and the alternatives to abortion. AZRTL is the life-line to expectant mothers by helping to provide clarity amidst the confusion in the emotional roller coaster that an unplanned pregnancy often brings. AZRTL continually informs and educates Arizonans about the evils of abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research and other issues that threaten life, while always providing a consistent and caring message about the sanctity of life from conception to natural death.

Arizona Right to Life desperately needs your financial support so that we can continue the incredible work we are doing daily to save lives. Today is the day you can step up and be a hero in helping us save lives by making an immediate donation to Arizona Right to Life!

Fall Campaign

Dear Mark,

This July as we celebrate the 234th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence my thoughts are drawn to those brave men who served as the founding fathers of our nation. These brave men risked their livelihoods, their freedom and even their very lives to sign their names to a document that would give birth to our great nation. As men, who had been burdened by tyranny, oppression and persecution, they saw the need to make a stand and fight for those “certain unalienable rights… Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” These men knew, even then, that government was created by the “consent of the governed”, and it is the primary responsibility of government to protect and defend these rights.

The war to defend these principles wages on today and it is as important as it was in 1776 for us to take a stand to ensure that government defends these “unalienable rights,” among them the right to life. Every day forces seek to chip away at that right, to justify the denial of that right to our unborn brothers and sisters. Many states around the nation are considering bills to defend life and make the horrific practice of abortion more difficult. Florida has passed a bill requiring all women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound, a practice that has proven to severely decrease the numbers of abortions. But even with this great pro-life victory supported by both houses of the state legislature and the people, Governor Crist, a man who once proclaimed himself a “pro-life” candidate vetoed the legislation drawing a great public outcry. Similar bills are being considered elsewhere, and there has never been such a strong push to assert pro-life principles. But even with this strong pro-life trend, we face an immense battle as those who would seek to deny these rights fight harder to assert their agenda. Even now the U.S. Senate is considering the appointment of former U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan to fill a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Whoever is selected to this important seat will have the opportunity to shape the legal and political landscape of our country for decades. Kagan has an atrocious record, and has dodged questions in senate confirmation hearings regarding memos she wrote as a member of the Clinton White House legal team. These memos express her desire to reword the definitions of late-term abortions so they appear less gruesome and more acceptable to the public, thus swaying political sentiment and allowing the practice be part of the health care plan. A person with such ideals would have a devastating effect to the pro-life community if allowed to be seated as a justice.

We as a people, as a nation and as those with a voice must speak out to defend those who cannot defend themselves and oppose the actions of men and women like Governor Crist and Elena Kagan.

The time is now for us, who cherish those rights espoused in the Declaration of Independence, to stand and be heard, just like the 56 men who put pen to paper on that great document, and fight those who would deny others their right to life. We must stand united in the cause of life, to cast off idle differences and disagreements, and come together as those men did to declare to the world that the right to life is so valuable that it is worth fighting for. And there has never been a more important time to fight than now!

In this spirit I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day and that we all can incorporate the values of this holiday to our actions year round.

For Life,

Virginia A. Perron

President

Arizona Right to Life PAC Announces its Endorsement of Jan Brewer in the Republican Primary for Arizona Governor

Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee (“AzRTL PAC”) announces its endorsement of Jan Brewer in the Republican Primary for Arizona Governor.

AZRTL PAC endorses Jan Brewer because of her strong support of the pro-life cause over her 25 year political career. In just her first term as governor since being appointed in January of 2009, Governor Brewer signed eight pro-life bills into law that will help protect innocent human life in Arizona. Among those bills signed into law incude a ban of partial-birth abortions in Arizona and a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before an abortion can be performed.

“Unlike her immediate predecessor, Governor Brewer has shown she truly cares about women and children by recognizing the importance of protecting all innocent life, including the unborn. For these reasons, AZRTL PAC strongly endorses Governor Brewer in the Republican Primary for Arizona Governor,” according to Walt Opaska, Chairman of the AZRTL PAC.
Other pro-life bills signed by Governor Brewer include a ban on non-doctors performing surgical abortions, a bill that opts Arizona out of providing abortion coverage in any insurance exchanges offered under the new federal health care law and a prohibition on Arizona taxpayer dollars from being used to fund insurance coverage for elective abortions for government employees.

The Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee is Arizona’s oldest, largest, and strongest political pro-life organization. To learn more about Arizona Right to Life, please visit our website at www.azrtl.org

Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee (PAC) is a 501 (c)5 organization registered with the Arizona Secretary of State. This organization is governed by a separate board of directors who are committed to the principles of Arizona Right to Life. The mission of the Arizona Right to Life PAC is to elect city, county, legislative, judicial and statewide candidates who will stand committed and unwavering to the first and foremost Constitutional unalienable right to life and to those principles preserving, protecting and promoting the sanctity of life. Donations to the PAC are NOT tax deductible. To fund out more about the State PAC, please visit its website at azlifepac.org.

Obama’s Choice as Head of Department of Health and Human Services a “One-Man Death Panel“

On July 7th President Barack Obama appointed Donald Berwick as the head of the Center for Medicaid and Medicaid Services (CMS) within the Department of Health and Human Services. Republican leaders in the Senate immediately stated their frustration that Obama waited until the Senate was in recess for the 4th of July break to make the appointment, eliminating the opportunity for Senate leaders to question Berwick prior to his appointment.

“The Obama recess appointment of rationing advocate Donald Berwick to head the key government agency that will apply the new health care law is disastrous news for the vulnerable, especially the elderly and the sickest of American patients,” said Burke Balch, J.D., director of National Right to Life’s Powell Center for Medical Ethics

Confirmation would have met strong opposition from Pro-Life Republican senators appalled by Berwick’s open advocacy of government imposed rationing of medical treatment. The recess appointment, done while the senators were on break bypasses the standard confirmation hearings and lets Berwick assume the post without a vote.

“Donald Berwick is a one-man death panel,” said David N. O’Steen, Ph.D., National Right to Life executive director. “While Americans may not remember the agency he heads, he will quickly become known as Obama’s rationing czar.

Many senators have expressed opposition to the recess appointment and are calling for the opportunity to question Berwick. The president has the power to appoint an official without a vote when the senate is in session, but the appointee must be confirmed by the senate before the next session of Congress or the position becomes vacant again.

Pennsylvania Receives First Public Funds for Abortion under New Health Care bill

”The Obama Administration will give $160 Million in federal tax funds, which we’ve discovered will pay for insurance plans that will cover abortions,” said Dennis Johnson, legislative director for National Right to Life. “This is just the first proof of the phoniness of President Obama’s assurances that federal funds would not subsidize abortion – but it will not be the last.”

The bill passed in March after President Obama made assurances to pro-life Democrats that no public money would be used to fund abortions. To further assure those Democrats, Obama even issued an executive order which NRLC called “meaningless” since a bill signed into law trumps an executive order by the president. We now see the validity in NRLC’s claims as this funding to Pennsylvania will occur despite Obama’s assurances and executive order.

”President Obama successfully opposed including language in the bill to prevent federal subsidies for abortions, and now the Administration is quietly advancing its abortion-expanding agenda through administrative decisions such as this, which they hope will escape broad public attention,” Johnson said.

Bill to Limit Corporations and Non-Profit Groups Like NRLC Facing Hurdles in Senate

After narrowly passing the House of Representatives with 219-206 vote before the July 4th break the “Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act” looks to be losing support in the Senate. The bill would put tough disclosure rules on corporations and non-profits like National Right to Life and its affiliates during elections and harm the ability of such groups to endorse and support candidates, while exempting other groups such as unions, the Sierra Club and the National Rifle Association. The bill sponsors were hoping to target moderate Republicans to cross over and get the 60 votes needed to prevent a filibuster. One targeted senator Scott Brown (R-MA) has stated that he will not support the bill despite several groups’ attempts to sway him. Another targeted Senator Susan Collins (R- ME) has stated that she has “serious concerns” over the exemptions and worries that the bill is “simply unfair.” A vote is not scheduled as supporters seek to get the votes needed.

Take Action by Viewing the NRLC Article and following the Links

On July 13th the Obama Administration announced $160 million dollars that will go to Pennsylvania to establish a “high-risk” insurance pool. And has quietly approved a plan by an appointee of Governor Edward Rendell (D) under which the program will fund any abortion that is legal in Pennsylvania according to National Right to Life.

Take A Look At Who Will Be at AZRTL’s Annual Conference in September!

Mark Crutcher, President of Life Dynamics and producer of ”Maafa 21″ will be a keynote speaker at our conference in September. Conference attendees will have three opportunities to hear from the nationally renowned pro-life advocate. He will serve as the keynote speaker both at the Friday night fundraising dinner and Saturday luncheon, in addition to offering a breakout session on Maafa 21 during the conference.

For many years, Mark Crutcher has been an outspoken and uncompromised opponent of abortion. In 1986, he created the Life Activist Seminar and trained more than 15,000 pro-life activists all across the United States and Canada. Then, in 1992, he founded Life Dynamics which has since become widely recognized as one of the most innovative and professional pro-life organizations in America.
Under Mark’s direction, Life Dynamics has done trailblazing research on the abortion industry and developed an extensive litigation support system to help women sue the abortionists who kill, injure, or sexually assault them. Since 1992, Life Dynamics has also carried out an aggressive direct mail campaign designed to discourage medical professionals from entering the abortion business.
Mark is probably best known for his bold undercover operations that have exposed shocking and even illegal activities inside the abortion industry. It was a Life Dynamics sting that caught Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion industry protecting the men who rape children, and another one that documented how abortion clinics make extra profit by selling the body parts of the babies they kill. The success of Mark’s intelligence and surveillance efforts led one New York newspaper to label Life Dynamics “the CIA of the pro-life movement.”

In 1996, Mark authored the book, Lime 5, a groundbreaking exposé that has become the recognized standard for people who want to know what really goes on inside the American abortion industry. Among his numerous other writings is the pro-life handbook, On Message, as well as Access, the Key to Pro-Life Victory.
Articles about Mark and Life Dynamics have been published in both Time and Newsweek and he has written for The Christian American, All About Issues, and Focus on the Family’s Citizen magazine. He has also appeared on many local and national television news outlets including ABC World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, the CBS Evening News, Fox News, Nightline, 20/20, the O’Rilley Factor, and the 700 Club. He is also a regular contributor to World-Net Daily, Family News in Focus and the USA Radio Network.

In 1999, Mark launched the nation’s only pro-life television talk show, LifeTalk. Today, his co-hosts include Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life; Troy Newman, the national leader of Operation Rescue; Dr. Johnny Hunter, the president of America’s largest black pro-life organization; and Janet Morana, co-founder of Silent No More.
In 2002, Mark received the first annual Cardinal Von Galen Award from Human Life International and, in 2004, he was given the Cardinal O’Connor Pro-Life Hall of Fame Award. Today, among Life Dynamics’ newest projects is a revolutionary new approach toward increasing participation by the African-American community in the pro-life cause.

Mark lives in Denton, Texas with his wife of over 36 years, Tulane, and their adopted daughter, Sheila.

Marilyn Musgrave is the Project Director for the Susan B. Anthony List’s Votes Have Consequences Project. and a former congresswoman from Colorado. She was an activist long before she ran for office serving as president of her local Right to Life chapter and on the local school board. After serving two terms in the Colorado House of Representatives and one term in the Colorado Senate, she ran for the United States House of Representatives in 2002. As Colorado’s 4th District representative she served three terms serving as a champion for life and becoming the founding chairwoman of the Pro-life Women’s Caucus. While seeking reelection for her fourth term in 2008 she became a prime target of abortion advocates and lost her congressional seat. She and her husband Steve are enjoying life in Colorado with their children and grandchildren.

Fall Campaign

Dear Friend,

As we near the midpoint for 2010 we can see what Arizona Right to Life has been saying for months; 2010 is turning out to be a landmark year for pro-life issues. This year has already seen sweeping legislation successes in Arizona, a terrible health care reform bill funding abortions across the country, and a Supreme Court nominee with horrific pro-abortion connections.

Arizona Right to Life has also seen its fair share of activity this year and garnered a lion’s share of attention regarding endorsements by the Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee. The PAC has endorsed great pro-life candidates in David Schweikert for Congressional District 5, Andrew Thomas for Attorney General, and Bill Montgomery for Maricopa County Attorney, but as many of you know our organization has come under some scrutiny over the PAC’s endorsement of John McCain for United States Senator while only acknowledging JD Hayworth’s pro-life voting record in the Arizona Republican Primary.

As President of Arizona Right to Life I strongly encourage you, the pro-life voter, to support and elect those candidates who will stand committed and unwavering to the first and foremost Constitutional unalienable right to life and to those principles of preserving, protecting and promoting the sanctity of life as I will continue to do on behalf of the unborn, the elderly, the chronically ill, people with disabilities and those who cannot speak for themselves.

When faced with two pro-life candidates, it can become difficult, especially when disagreements surface, but the last thing that Arizona Right to Life or the PAC want to do is divide the pro-life community. With all the activity, and the Supreme Court nomination in hand it becomes more important for us to be united, and work towards advancing the causes of life. Regardless of whom you support for a variety of offices, work to ensure that life issues are on the forefront of their campaigns, that they pledge and commit to support life from conception to natural death, and that they will be active in that support. Great will be the day when all candidates have a pro-life record and we must decide amongst ourselves who is the best pro-life choice. Those who oppose us want nothing more than for us to be divided and turning away from each other over issues of candidates and politics, we must rise above this and work toward preserving the most precious gift… Life.

I urge you to join with us and continue the fight against those who would challenge life. To put aside any differences you may have and join us in the one thing we can all agree on: Life is precious and we must work to preserve, protect and promote the sanctity of innocent human life.

For Life,

Virginia (Jinny) Perron
President, Arizona Right to Life

Arizona Right to Life Offers its Support to Bishop Olmstead in Defense of the Unborn

Arizona Right to Life would like to join those in support of Bishop Olmstead for the excommunication of Sister Margaret McBride. Everyone agrees that it was a difficult decision, but Bishop Olmstead acted appropriately and honorably in defending the life of an unborn child.

Circumstances such as this one are never easy and the facts of this particular instance can be debated. But Bishop Olmstead was correct in defending the moral principle that it is wrong to intentionally take the life of an innocent human being.

The Chapter is currently seeking new members, so come down with your spouse, a friend, or a family member and help us in the Right to Life Mission. We challenge you to join us in our ultimate cause, ”To Preserve, Protect, and Promote the Sanctity of Innocent Human Life.” To contact the Chandler Chapter, you can call Paul and Marie Fordtner at 480-963-5561 or Charlie Ryan at 480-330-8537.

Mesa Right to Life

The Mesa Chapter of Right to Life supported the recent Arizona Right to Life Mother’s Day Fundraiser with the purchase of 100 single red roses, each individually wrapped with baby breath in separate water tubes. Along with the gracious volunteers from St. Anne’s Respect Life Ministry, chapter members presented a rose to each of the female residents of the East Mesa Healthcare Nursing Home and their caregivers on Saturday, May 8th. It was a heartfelt, gratifying experience for those that shared their precious time with our elderly, who in turn, were most delightfully receptive and appreciative of this thoughtful gesture.

Chapter President Joe Perron also surprised our eldest member of the chapter, Mary Esposito, who is now residing at a Christian Care establishment in Mesa for seniors, with a beautiful bouquet of roses on behalf of the Mesa Chapter.

The chapter leaders, Joe and Jinny Perron, wish to acknowledge and thank the Knights of Columbus for extending an invitation to the Mesa Chapter to host a pro-life booth at their recent annual K of C Convention on May 21st and 22nd at the Ft. McDowell Radisson Resort. The Knights and their wives received the Perrons with warm enthusiasm and greatly appreciated the pro-life message shared by Mesa Right to Life.

WHAT IS A RIGHT TO LIFE CHAPTER……… A Right to Life Chapter is the heart of the pro-life movement connecting the national, state and local level.

It is the building block of the pro-life movement. Just as a building cannot stand without its bricks, neither can the pro-life movement succeed in its educational and legislative goals without the work of chapters on the local level.

As an extension of Arizona and National RTL, a chapter is a group of people in a local community who are committed to working to spread the message of life. Together, we keep the issue before society and blanket the nation in pro-life action!

Chapters are non-denominational and work with all people to advance the pro-life message in a community.

While the core purpose of all chapters is the same, the structure and appearance of a RTL chapter can vary tremendously. Some chapters are large with many opportunities for member involvement, monthly meetings, fundraising, and many large events . Other chapters are smaller, consisting of a few people who serve as a contact point between the state office and their local area.

A Chapter subscribes to the mission of the Arizona Right to Life and takes part in our state events and quarterly State Board meetings.

Imagine – an active pro-life chapter in every community of our state, all working to the same goal of passing pro-life legislation, electing pro-life officials, educating the community, serving those in time of pregnancy, and bringing in all churches………abortion could not survive!

Arizona Right to Life has numerous chapters across the state dedicated to making a difference and saving lives in their own communities.

Please consider joining us so we can have a chapter in every community!

The Education Team of Arizona Right to Life had great success at their recent Sidewalk Counseling Workshop held May 15th at the Diocesan Pastoral Center in downtown Phoenix. It was an overflow crowd, A total of 62 people turned out for a 3-hour workshop on Sidewalk Counseling. A diverse gathering including, clergy, youth, veteran sidewalk counselors and newcomers listened to Arizona Right to Life Speaker Bureau presenters, LeeAnne Abel and Karen Williams. They demonstrated that it is through a powerful witness of love and support that we can change the hearts and minds of the abortion-bound. The training puts useful, pro-life tools in the hands of participants. “You just never know when someone in your community, workplace or family will need guidance during a crisis pregnancy,” stated Abel. Stormwind Studios was present to film the event and a DVD of the event will be forthcoming. If you or your organization would like to learn more about sidewalk counseling or to bring a workshop to a venue near you, please contact us at karen@azrtl.org.

The AZRTL Team heads north to the cool pines of Prescott on June 26 for a repeat performance.

The purpose of this committee is to bring greater leadership, education and insight to Arizona through a task force of energetic, pro-life individuals from various generations, cultures and levels of experience.

Military Gets Drafted into War Against the Unborn

Late last month as the Senate Armed Services discussed the replealing of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy regarding homosexuality in the armed forces, Senator Roland W. Burris (D-IL) threw the pro-life community a curveball by adding an amendment that would allow abortions at military hospitals. The bill, if passed would require women seeking an abortion to pay for the procedure up front and not rely on government funds. But it also allows abortions to be performed at military installations, if those criteria are met, changing a policy adopted in the 1990’s restricting abortions at military facilities to only situations of rape, incest to protect the mother’s life.

This policy change would mean the deaths of many unborn, innocent children at the hands of the military. The military does not support the change, and we should not either. Make sure your senators know to oppose the Burris amendment.

Support and Protect Life!!!

ACTION ALERT!!! Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Elena Kagan’s Nomination. Oppose Kagan’s Nomination By Contacting Your Senator’s Today

AZRTL — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:55:28 +0000

When President Obama first nominated former U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan to fill the vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court we urged you speak out against the nomination.videnced by her direct influence over the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) statement on the medical necessity for partial birth abortion.

The majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee has ignored these cries and approved Kagan’s nomination 13-9 on July 20th. We have one more opportunity to stop this pro-abortion advocate, with no judicial experience, from sitting on the nation’s highest court!

Senate leadership has said that there will likely be a vote on the Kagan nomination before the August 5th break. We must speak NOW to halt this appointment and keep Kagan from having a position to shape our nation’s laws for decades.

During the confirmation hearings Kagan’s pro-abortion agenda was made painfully clear.

As a legal advisor to the Clinton Administration Kagan recommended that ACOG amend their stance on partial birth abortion by stating that it “may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman.” A vast change from their original draft which said that under no circumstance would partial birth abortion be the only option to save the life of the mother.

Kagan’s recommendation to change established medical procedure, and advocate her pro-abortion agenda, is the exact reason she should NOTbe allowed to be in a position to interpret or review our nation’s supreme law.

Time is running out. ACT NOW to make your voice heard and protect innocent human life. Contact Senators McCain and Kyl today and urge them to vote NO on the confirmation of Elena Kagan!

Contact Senator Jon Kyl by calling (202) 224-4521 or Click Here to email him.

Contact Senator John McCain by calling (202) 224- 2235 or Click Here to email him.

Pennsylvania Gets $160 Million in ObamaCare’s first payout that Will Fund Abortions with Taxpayer Dollars./ DISCLOSE ACT Facing Hurdles in Senate

AZRTL — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:42:46 +0000

Pennsylvania Gets $160 Million in ObamaCare’s first payout that Will Fund Abortions with Taxpayer Dollars.

“The Obama Administration will give $160 Million in federal tax funds, which we’ve discovered will pay for insurance plans that will cover abortions.” Said Dennis Johnson, legislative director for National Right to Life. “

This is just the first proof of the phoniness of President Obama’s assurances that federal funds would not subsidize abortion – but it will not be the last.”

The health care reform bill passed in March after President Obama made assurances to pro-life Democrats that no public money would be used to fund abortions. To further assure those Democrats, Obama even issued an executive order which NRLC called “meaningless” since a bill signed into law trumps an executive order by the president. We now see the validity in NRLC’s claims as this funding to Pennsylvania will occur despite Obama’s assurances and executive order.

“President Obama successfully opposed including language in the bill to prevent federal subsidies for abortions, and now the Administration is quietly advancing its abortion-expanding agenda through administrative decisions such as this, which they hope will escape broad public attention,” Johnson said.

DISCLOSE ACT Facing Hurdles in Senate

After narrowlly passing the House of Representatives with 219-206 vote before the July 4th break the “Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act” looks to be losing support in the Senate. The bill would put tough disclosure rules on corporations and non-profits like National Right to Life and its affiliates during elections and harm the ability of such groups to endorse and support candiates, while exempting other groups such as unions, the Sierra Club and the National Rifle Association. The bill sponsors were hoping to target moderate Republicans to cross over and get the 60 votes needed to prevent a filibuster. One targeted senator Scott Brown (R-MA) has stated that he will not support the bill despite several groups’ attempts to sway him. Another targeted Senator Susan Collins (R- ME) has stated that she has “serious concerns” over the exemptions and worries that the bill is “simply unfair.” A vote is not scheduled as supporters seek to get the votes needed.

Arizona Right to Life PAC Announces its Endorsements For the 2010 Primary Election To the U.S. Congress

AZRTL — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:29:04 +0000

Phoenix, AZ- July 16, 2010 - The Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee (AZRTL PAC) hereby announces its endorsements, recommendations, and acknowledgments for the 2010 Primary Election for Arizona’s eight Congressional Districts. AZRTL PAC based the following determinations on the candidate’s answers to the AZRTL PAC questionnaire, their history of pro-life involvement, any history of voting on abortion related legislation, and their chances of defeating pro-abortion candidates in the general election.

AZRTL PAC further notes that in many districts, there are numerous candidates who hold pro-life positions. Those looking to understand AZRTL PAC’s endorsements or acknowledgments should read carefully the rationale behind the decisions.

Congressional District 1

AZRTL PAC recommends and endorses the following candidates running for the Republican nomination to represent Congressional District 1: Bradley Beauchamp, Rusty Bowers, Paul Gosar, and Sydney Hay. All of these candidates hold a strong pro-life position. After examining all of the candidates in this race, AZRTL PAC believes any of the endorsed candidates appear to be highly electable against their general election pro-abortion opponent, Ann Kirkpatrick. AZRTL PAC encourages its membership to examine each of the candidates and support the one believed to have the best chance to win in November.

Congressional District 2

AZRTL PAC endorses incumbent Congressman Trent Franks, who has a long history of pro-life support, is a long-time friend of Arizona Right to Life, and whose support for the unborn children is well-known both in Washington and Arizona, as well as throughout the nation.

Congressional District 3

AZRTL PAC applauds the large pro-life contingent of candidates seeking this office. There are certain candidates running who have a history of active pro-life involvement, both at the legislature and in private circles. Therefore, AZRTL PAC endorses those with a pro-life legislative voting history and acknowledges those candidates who have successfully filled out the questionnaire identifying them as pro-life.

In the Republican Primary in Congressional District 3, AZRTL PAC endorses:
A.        Jim Waring — Jim Waring is a former state senator from Arizona State Legislative District 7, having served in the Arizona legislature for eight years. Jim Waring has had a 100% lifetime pro-life voting record, and is a long-time friend and supporter of Arizona Right to Life.
B.        Pamela Gorman — Pamela Gorman has been a state legislator in District 6 for six years, first elected to the House in 2004 and then to the Senate in 2006. She has had a 100% voting record while in District 6 and has been a strong backer of Arizona Right to Life.
C.        Sam Crump — Sam Crump has been a state representative from Legislative District 6 for four years. He has a 100% pro-life voting record, and has been a long-time friend of Arizona Right to Life.

AZRTL PAC further recognizes and acknowledges the following pro-life candidates also running in CD-3.

Steve Moak
Vernon Parker
Ben Quayle
Ed Winkler
Robert Branch

There are two Republican running who are pro-abortion, Paulina Morris and LeAnn Hull. AZRTL PAC strongly urges all pro-life voters not to support Paulina Morris or LeAnn Hull.
Those who take seriously their pro-life vote should consider electability and experience, as well as a pro-life voting record, in considering the candidate whom they should support.

Congressional District 4

AZRTL PAC endorses Jose Penalosa in the Republican Primary for Congressional District 4. While he has never held public office, he has been an attorney working in Central Phoenix for almost twenty years. He has the credentials and the passion to challenge Ed Pastor, the current pro-abortion Democrat Congressman. Pastor used to vote pro-life when a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. However, once he became a Congressman, he towed the pro-abortion party line, and since then has not voted for the most reasonable pro-life legislation.

Congressional District 5

AZRTL PAC has previously and once again endorses David Schweikert in the Republican Primary for Congressional District 5. We believe Mr. Schweikert would be the most likely person to defeat pro-abortion Harry Mitchell in the general election.

AZRTL PAC also acknowledges that fellow challenger, Jim Ward, has filled out his questionnaire pro-life. Perennial candidate Susan Bitter-Smith is pro-abortion and we urge all pro-lifers not to support her.

Congressional District 6

AZRTL PAC endorses Jeff Flake for re-election. Jeff Flake has 100% lifetime voting record during his five terms in Congress.

Congressional District 7

AZRTL PAC endorses Ruth McClung in the Republican Primary for Congressional District 7. AZRTL PAC agrees with Ruth McClung that “human life, from the youngest to the oldest, is of the highest value and must be defended.”

Congressional District 8

AZRTL PAC endorses Jonathan Paton in the Republican Primary for Congressional District 8. Mr. Paton is a former state legislator and state senator from Arizona Legislative District 30. Former state senator Paton also served his nation in Iraq, defending life in a most concrete way. We acknowledge fellow candidate Jesse Kelly to be pro-life, however, AZRTL PAC believes that Jonathan Paton would be the strongest candidate to defeat the pro-abortion Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in the general election.

Arizona Right to Life PAC Announces its Endorsements For Statewide Offices in the Arizona Primary

AZRTL — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:44:08 +0000

Phoenix, AZ- July 19, 2010 - The Arizona Right to Life Political Action Committee (AZRTL PAC) announces its endorsements and recommendations for statewide offices in the Arizona Primary held August 24, 2010. AZRTL PAC based the following determinations on the candidate’s answers to the AZRTL PAC questionnaire, their history of pro-life involvement, any history of voting on abortion related legislation, and their chances of defeating pro-abortion candidates in the general election.

AZRTL Endorses Jan Brewer for Governor

AZRTL PAC iterates its endorsement of Jan Brewer in the Republican Primary for Arizona Governor because she has been a supporter of the pro-life cause for over 25 years. Since becoming governor in January 2009, Governor Jan Brewer signed into law eight pro-life bills that will help protect innocent human life in Arizona. “In just 18 months as governor, Governor Brewer has proven herself to be a strong advocate for the sanctity of life,” said Walt Opaska, Chairman of the AZRTL PAC.

AZRTL Endorses Andrew Thomas for Attorney General

AZRTL PAC endorses Andrew Thomas in the Republican Primary for Arizona Attorney General. AZRTL PAC endorses Thomas based on his long history of involvement and commitment to Arizona Right to Life and the pro-life movement.

AZRTL PAC also notes that Tom Horne had a pro-abortion voting record during his service in the Arizona State Legislature. “During this campaign, Tom Horne has downplayed and hidden his pro-abortion views. AZRTL PAC warns all pro-life voters not to be misled by Tom Horne. Instead, pro-life voters should support Andy Thomas.” said Jinny Perron, Treasurer of the AZRTL PAC.

AZRTL Endorses Ken Bennett for Secretary of State

AZRTL PAC endorses Ken Bennett in the Republican Primary for Arizona Secretary of State because he has been a strong supporter of the pro-life cause throughout his entire career in public service. As President of the Senate, Ken Bennett was a leader in supporting pro-life legislation and maintained a 100 percent life-time pro-life voting record.
“Ken Bennett has a long history of supporting the rights of the unborn. AZRTL PAC is proud to support Ken in his bid to be elected as the Arizona Secretary of State.” said Walt Opaska, Chairman of the AZRTL PAC.

AZRTL Endorses Doug Ducey For Treasurer

AZRTL PAC endorses Doug Ducey in the Republican Primary for Arizona Treasurer because Doug demonstrated that he is a true pro-life candidate who has the means and resources to defeat pro-abortion liberal democrat Andrei Cherny in the general election in November. Through the help of national pro-abortion liberal organizations and other pro-abortion politicians, Andrei Cherny has amassed a large war chest and will provide a formidable challenger to the Republican nominee for Treasurer. “Doug Ducey has demonstrated to Arizona Right to Life a commitment to protect the unborn,” said PAC chairman Walter Opaska, “and in this election he is the pro-life candidate whose resources and determination give him the best chance to defeat an extremely well funded and well-connected pro-abortion opponent in the general election.”

AZRTL PAC strongly acknowledges and thanks Thayer Verschoor for his perfect pro-life voting record. AZRTL PAC also acknowledges Barbara Leff’s pro-life voting record. However, AZRTL PAC believes that it must endorse the candidate who has the best chance to beat a pro-abortion democrat in the general election. AZRTL PAC hopes that this endorsement will send a message to out-of-state liberal organizations that pro-life organizations and the conservative movement will not sit on the sideline and allow any Arizona state elected offices to become stepping stones for radical liberal candidates with pro-abortion agendas.

AZRTL Endorses John Huppenthal For Superintendent of Public Instruction

AZRTL PAC endorses John Huppenthal in the Republican Primary for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction because he has been an unwavering supporter of the sanctity of life for over 17 years during his service in both the state house and senate.

“John Huppenthal demonstrated a constant commitment to pro-life issues while in the State Legislature” said PAC board member Danny Seiden “Arizona Right to Life PAC looks forward to John’s leadership as the Superintendent of Public Instruction.”

AZRTL Endorses Joe Hart For Mine Inspector

AZRTL PAC endorses Joe Hart in the Republican Primary for Arizona Mine Inspector. For almost 20 years, Joe Hart has been a strong steadfast supporter of the pro-life cause.
“Throughout his long and distinguished public service career Joe Hart has demonstrated a commitment to support pro-life causes, and AZRTL PAC is proud to endorse him in his bid for re-election as the Arizona State Mine Inspector” said PAC Chairman Walt Opaska.

AZRTL Endorses Brenda Burns and Gary Pierce For the Arizona Corporation Commission

AZRTL PAC endorses Brenda Burns and Gary Pierce in the Republican Primary for the two open seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission. Brenda Burns and Gary Pierce have demonstrated a solid commitment to pro-life causes during their careers in public service.
“Brenda Burns and Gary Pierce are true pro-life candidates and the AZRTL PAC is excited to support them in their bids to be elected to the Arizona Corporation Commission” said PAC board member Danny Seiden.

Barry Wong, another candidate in the Republican Primary for Corporate Commission, is pro-abortion and voted against protecting the sanctity of life while a member of the state legislature. For this reason, AZRTL PAC strongly urges pro-life supporters to vote for both Brenda Burns and Gary Pierce and not Barry Wong.

U.S. House May Vote on “DISCLOSE” Act Which would Limit Pro-Life Free Speech Around the Country.

AZRTL — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:44:22 +0000

The United States House of Representatives is nearing a vote on HR 5175, called the DISCLOSE (Democracy Is Strengthened by Casting Light On Spending in Elections) ACT, which would cause wide sweeping restrictions on the ability of incorporated groups, including Arizona Right to Life and its regional affiliates, to communicate with the public about the actions of federal lawmakers.

Our lawmakers need to be held accountable, and stifling the free speech of groups who watch and educate the public on their actions is inconceivable.

Join us in fighting this attack on free speech… And help us protect life by holding our lawmakers accountable for their actions.

Contact your Representative Today and urge him or her to vote against the HR 5175, the DISCLOSE ACT, and preserve Free Speech!
