We pro-lifers are keen political observers and participants because we know that politics is part of the process to restore the Culture of Life. Last night a good chunk of the country joined us to watch the results of the Iowa caucuses. Of course, pro-lifers are very fond of Rick Santorum!
We in Massachusetts wish Governor Romney would recognize the failings of state-controlled health care and come up with a better way to accomplish his laudable goals but we do not fault his pro-life position.
In the last few days we have had calls at the MCFL office from operatives of other campaigns trying to get us to criticize Romney's positions on life. The governor's positions are pro-life and we feel confident that they will stay that way.
During the fall, national media called for interviews. This 11/11/11 article from the Wall Street Journal, about the Romney turning point in 2005, is an example of where we have referred these operative,
"Mr. Romney as governor pressed forward with a health-care law that he saw as his legacy, a market-driven approach that was in vogue with many conservative thinkers at the time. Now, it appears he may have miscalculated: The Massachusetts health-care law remains a major burden on his quest for the Republican nomination.
Mr. Romney met with abortion-rights activists while running for governor in 2002. He assured them he would protect women's right to choose abortion and said he would neither expand nor restrict such a right as governor, according to Nicole Roos, chairwoman of NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts' political-action committee. She adds that he said he didn't wish to be called "pro-choice" and didn't like the "pro-life" label, either.
A leading abortion foe, Anne Fox of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, says she didn't even bother to reach out to Mr. Romney during the 2002 campaign, presuming that he was no ally.
Both groups found a change in 2005. In July of that year, Mr. Romney vetoed legislation that would have widened access to the Plan B emergency-contraceptive pill, by requiring hospitals to offer it to all rape victims and allowing some state-approved pharmacists to sell it without prescription.
To Mr. Romney, this was a principled decision consistent with his pledge not to change Massachusetts law relating to abortion.
Ms. Roos of NARAL says that although Mr. Romney had made such a pledge orally, he had stated in the group's written questionnaire that he supported efforts to expand access to emergency contraception.
The day after the veto, Mr. Romney wrote in a Boston Globe op-ed piece that his convictions on the issue had "evolved," and declared "I am prolife"-embracing a label Ms. Roos says he had avoided as a candidate in 2002.
Ms. Fox of Citizens for Life says her antiabortion group began having regular contact with a Romney aide and through him asked if Mr. Romney's wife, Ann, would become an honorary chairwoman of its new capital campaign. She did so."
Ah, yes, the Duchess, "Tut, tut, child! Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."

During the 1800's abortion was despairingly common. The abortion rate in the US was the highest in the world. Abortion was used almost exclusively by upper class, urban, married women for the usual reasons: they had vacations planned, wanted to wear their fashionable clothes, etc. Abortionists and abortifacients were openly advertized in the newspapers.
The abortion rate in Boston was twice that of New York City, which was 10 times the national average.
Is it any wonder, then, that the doctors at Harvard Medical School were among the pioneers of the pro-life movement? As early as 1805 they were talking about human life beginning at conception. In the 1860's they were talking about fetal pain at 15 weeks.
I was reminded today - on the Feast of the Holy Innocents - that their papers at both the Mass. Medical Society and Harvard Medical School quote these doctors calling abortionists "Herods".
We reviewed Frederick Dyer's books about Horatio Storer and these other courageous physicians in a recent MCFL News (reprinted below). You can read more from Dr Dyer. Dr Dyer has donated both books to the MCFL Library. You may borrow either book by calling the MCFL office. They are thick but so quotable!
I want to thank those of you who have taken the Dec 31, 2011 matching grant challenge and urge the rest of you to donate at

Thank you! Anne
From the MCFL News, May/June, 2011
For those of us who get a real satisfaction from proof that we are right all along, The Physicians' Crusade Against Abortion and its companion, Champion of Women and the Unborn, by Frederick Dyer, are must reads. Horatio Robinson Storer, Harvard Medical School, 1853, was probably the most powerful anti-abortion crusader ever.
In the 19th century abortion drugs and devices, as well the actual procedure, were openly advertized in leading newspapers. The abortion rates were very high - mostly among privileged, married women. The US had the highest abortion rate in the world and Boston's abortion rate was twenty times that of the rest of the country!
Doctors at the time noted that the Catholic women were not aborting. The doctors, who were the pro-life leaders, bemoaned the lack of clergy instruction from the pulpit. They felt it was the priests speaking in the confessional that kept the Catholic abortion rate nil. Dyer stresses, that, if the reader has Protestant ancestors in the US in the 19th century, that reader is very lucky to exist.
Dyer used Storer family papers, which he then donated to the Mass. Medical Society and HMS. Remember Justice Blackmun's claims in Roe v Wade that 19th century anti-abortion laws were all for the health of the mother? As early as 1805, doctors talked about the humanity of the unborn baby from the moment of conception. In the 1860's doctors were talking about fetal pain at 15 weeks. Doctors consistently referred to abortionists as "Herods". Just the direct quotes about the humanity of the unborn from conception, and the absolute evil of those who would destroy them, would make a power point presentation at least two hours long. This meticulously documented analysis exposes the tendentious character of the arguments in Roe v Wade.
A weekend article by WorldNetDaily has the Salvation Army facing new criticism for its position on abortion, - which supports the pro-life position on most all abortions but allow for rape and incest exceptions.
The Salvation Army is not new to criticism for supporting exceptions to its pro-life position, as Life Decisions International, which compiles frequent lists of corporations to boycott for donating to the Planned Parenthood abortion business, has cited the Salvation Army for criticism. LDI has included the red kettle organization in its list of groups that deserve scrutiny because of less than absolute pro-life positions.
The Salvation Army's abortion position statement starts off with a pro-life theme.
Living Waters released Ray Comfort's 180 Movie in September. In this award-winning documentary, Comfort interviews people on the streets about their knowledge of the Holocaust and compares it to the modern-day holocaust that is legalized abortion. The majority of the interviewees admit to having their views swayed to favor life after the short, pithy interviews. The 180 Movie in which Comfort stars is quickly approaching 2,000,000 views on YouTube and thousands of DVDs have been distributed on college campuses around the nation. It has been endorsed by pro-life heroes such as Abby Johnson, Jill Stanek, Randy Alcorn, and Dr. Alveda King. Ray Comfort's 180 Movie has caused one of the most impressive waves in the pro-life movement in 2011.
The Massachusetts Alliance Against Doctor Prescribed Suicide has posted on their website the contents of the media packet which they sent to media outlets before their press conference last week. http://nodoctorprescribedsuici...
The packet contains, among other helpful information:
a wonderful map showing where DPS is legal - Oregon and Washington - versus the rest of the country
eighteen abuses in Oregon
a televised interview with Barbara Wagner. The Oregon Health Plan told Barbara they would not pay for cancer treatment but would pay for her lethal dose.
The Doctor Prescribed Suicide ballot question puts Massachusetts in the cross-hairs of the anti-life movement. You and I must be prepared to show the dangers to everyone we know. This web site is a huge help!
Very important: newspapers have been running pro-death articles. Please use the information on the MAADPS web site to write a Letter to the Editor. Please use the talking points on the website - they will appeal to the readers.
Letters are the backbone of the fight right now. Thank you for writing! Anne
Six Rules of Pro-Life Philanthropy Donating in the most effective pro-life way
1. Make the organization explain what it measurably does that advances the pro-life movement
Every group should have a 15-30 second pitch for what it does, and why what it does is vital to the pro-life mission. It should have numbers and be immediately persuasive. National Right to Life should tell you that they identify, support and promote federal pro-life political candidates so they can pass federal pro-life laws and confirm pro-life judges to the court, and they have helped X number of pro-life people get elected in the last election. A group that passes legislation should tell you how many pieces of legislation it passed, and what those bills did. A pregnancy center should be able to tell you how many women it helped, and how many babies it helped.
A group that can't tell you these things is a major red flag. It's a sign that the group wastes its time and its donor's resources. A group that can't define its mission is one that is wasting time and money. A group that can't tell you what it's done is likely doing little to nothing.
2. Don't support groups that attack other pro-life groups
Marxist theorist Herbert Marcuse once explained to motivated Marxists to be tolerant to anything to their left, and intolerant to anything to their right. The pro-life movement can't make progress if we spend most of our time attacking and tearing down pro-lifers.
If a group is more known as a 'purist' group that spends a majority of its time being divisive and tearing down pro-lifers, you shouldn't support it.
American Dark Humor and Abortion's Collective Consequences: Have you heard the latest dead baby joke?
Obscene humor is nothing new to society, lewd jokes and pushing the envelope have always been around. Dead baby jokes, though, are not for the faint of heart and not for your normal comedian.
What's the difference between dead babies and an onion? You don't cry when you chop up a dead baby.
Where do these jokes come from? Why would people tell these jokes? To people of pro-life principles, they are the clear demonization and dehumanization of the unborn. Dead baby jokes in post-abortive America are a complicated mass social response to the trauma of legalized abortion. Rationalizing and justifying the "missing generation" aborted away, the young resort to dead baby jokes in order to detach, distance and deal with the anxiety of what they are witnessing.
That distance and detachment pales in comparison to the trauma suffered by those who carried dead children, the women who are post-abortive or who have suffered miscarriages.
Dr. Brad Imler, President of the American Pregnancy Association knows this well, "miscarriages are one of the hardest types of losses to work through. Society does not know how to provide support or what to say to deliver comfort." Dr. Imler added, "And often even the patented attempts to help fall short or add to the hurt."
Pennsylvania's Budd Dwyer committed suicide on live television in 1987. His death affected the children who witnessed it to the point where they were later caught quietly telling distasteful jokes about Dwyer such as "what was the last thing the press secretary said to Dwyer? Don't go shooting your mouth off." These distasteful jokes are similar to the continuing 'dead baby jokes' which serve the same purpose to the youth of today: to subconsciously allow post-abortive youth to cope with those missing in their generation.
The U. S. Senate is expected to vote as soon as Thursday, but more likely next week, on the second omnibus bill that contains the State/Foreign Operations, Energy and Water, and Financial Services appropriations measures. Four amendments are expected which will help deter the federal government from financing abortions and the abortion industry.
1) Sen. Orrin Hatch, Utah, will offer a pro-life amendment to strike language in the bill sponsored by Sen. Lautenberg, N. J., that prohibits any future presidential administration from reinstituting the Mexico City Policy that Obama removed by executive order during his first week in office. Support Hatch Amendment to remove Lautenberg language.
2) Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska is floating an amendment to negate language in the minibus bill that would remove the current Dornan Amendment - the D.C. Hyde Amendment, which prevents taxpayers from being forced to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia. Support Johanns Amendment to restore Dornan Amendment.
3) Sen. Roger Wicker, Mississippi, has an amendment to totally de-fund the UNFPA via the omnibus bill. The House had cut funding from Obama's $55 million to $40 million. Support Wicker Amendment.
4) Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma, is sponsoring an amendment which would restore the ban on coverage of elective abortions in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. Support Coburn Amendment.
CALL SEN. BROWN, 202-224-4543. URGE HIM TO VOTE PRO-LIFE. TELL HIM TO VOTE AGAINST THE ENTIRE MINIBUS BILL IF THE AMENDMANTS ARE NOT APPROVED.
When you call, you are asking for the four items in bold. National Right to Life called the current Senate version a "cluster bomb of pro-abortion provisions" (see MCFL email of Nov 2). I want to thank our friend, Steve Ertelt at Life News for the recent analysis.
Yesterday afternoon, HR 2354 was proposed. National Right to Life calls it a "cluster-bomb of pro-abortion provisions". When you read their information below, you will see how dangerous this legislation would be. Please call Sen. Brown immediately - 202-224-4543 - Urge him to oppose HR 2354. This is top priority. Thank you! Anne
HR 2354 would repeal or weaken pro-life policies:
1. The "Lautenberg Amendment," on pp. 479-80, added by the Appropriations Committee, would prohibit any future president from diverting U.S. population assistance funds away from overseas groups that perform and actively promote abortion.
2. Language (on page 225) would effectively repeal the "D.C. Hyde Amendment," which was restored as part of the negotiated FY 2011 continuing resolution, replacing it with the previous meaningless language that guarantees a resumption of government-funded abortion on demand in the Federal District.
3. The bill omits (and would therefore repeal) the ban on coverage of elective abortion in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. This pro-life policy has been in effect, with one brief interruption, for over 25 years. The result of the minibus language would be direct federal funding of health plans that cover abortion on demand for millions of federal employees and their dependants, including Members of Congress and congressional staff.
4. Language that weakens the longstanding restriction on funding of abortions by the Peace Corps (page 265).
In addition, the bill contains these additional objectionable and/or questionable elements:
5. It sets funding for population assistance at "not less than $700 million" (p. 391). while the House bill provides for not more than $461 million. The Obama Administration has turned this program into an engine for promotion of abortion.
6. Report language on one of the component committee-reported bills, S. 1601, specifies that the UNFPA shall receive $40 million; the House bill would defund UNFPA. As you know, the UNFPA is deeply involved in China's coercive population control program, which relies heavily on government-coerced abortions. NRLC opposes funding for the UNFPA.
7. The bill would make changes to the longstanding abortion-related restrictions sometimes referred to loosely as the "Helms language." It does not appear that these changes are of great consequence, but we see no need for them and the reasoning behind them is unclear.
We humans mark a milestone today-the world's population reaches 7 billion.
It took just 12 years to go from 6 billion to 7. As the population climbs rapidly, unfortunately so does human suffering-mostly among women and children. We can and must slow this precipitous climb - this is unsustainable. Congress must increase international family planning aid.
Every minute of every day, somewhere in the developing world, a woman dies due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth...over 500,000 a year, millions more are injured.
And more than 70,000 women and girls die every year due to complications from illegal and unsafe abortions. Millions more are injured.
Nearly all these deaths and injuries are preventable.
Some 215 million women in the developing nations want access to modern means of contraception, but simply do not have access. Yet U.S. policies have kept critical family planning resources from reaching women in the developing world, directly contributing to this needless suffering and death.
It's time we said enough. The Feminist Majority Foundation is determined to change the direction of U.S. policies on international family planning. We must increase international reproductive health and family planning funding.
The Obama Administration proposed for Fiscal Year 2012 an increase to $769.1 million for international reproductive health and family planning assistance, including $47.5 million for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which works in 150 countries to prevent maternal mortality and expand access to contraception. The House Republican majority voted in 2012 to cut international RH/ FP to $440 million and to totally defund UNFPA -- a staggering $329 million from the Obama Proposal and $208 million cut from 2010.
What do these gigantic House cuts mean? "For every $10 million cut from the international family planning and reproductive health program:
610,000 fewer women and couples would receive contraceptive services and supplies
190,000 more unintended pregnancies, and 82,000 more unplanned births, would occur;
83,000 more abortions would take place (of which 60,000 would be unsafe);
500 more maternal deaths would occur;
59,000 more years of health life would be lost; and
2,300 more children would lose their mothers."1
On the domestic front, the House Republican majority voted in 2012 to eliminate all domestic family planning aid and to completely defund Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). Not only does this cut access to birth control for poor American women, these policies also contribute to an unsustainable environment. "Twenty percent of the world's population in the industrialized nations use some "80% of global resources and consumes 30% more than the planet can regenerate."2
Let your Member of Congress and Senators know today that we must increase international and domestic family planning and reproductive health aid. Stop playing politics with our world's and nation's future. Vote to make international and domestic family planning and reproductive health more accessible for women who want and desperately need it. Let them know today and often.
For women's lives,
Eleanor Smeal

2 "The End of Poverty? Think Again"
Steve Mosher from the Population Research Institute, who did such a great job at our MCFL Convention last spring, has let us know that he will be on FOX NEWS Monday at 12:45 p.m. on the show "Happening Now," to discuss the World's population passing seven billion.
Steve says, "It should be a good opportunity to get our pro-life message out."
He also has placed a full page ad in the Washington Times welcoming the 7 billionth baby into the world. MCFL co-signed the ad.
Sheila Patterson reminds us that many youngsters collect for UNICEF when they trick or treat. As you know, UNICEF supports abortion around the world.

"The Procedure" contemplates how "imperfect" life might be managed in the not-too-distant future. A young mother named Hannah is determined to take advantage of a free but time-limited service offered by the Clinton Reproductive Health Clinic in her city to correct the cleft palate of her daughter, Ruth, even over the objections of Ruth's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth.
THE PROCEDURE by Bob Giles
Ruth teetered through a gray cloud from Hannah's Virginia Slims and emerged to tumble into her mother's knees. On the coffee table, coated by a thin yellow layer of ash and dust, lay a shopper with an ad circled in red: "Toddler clothes for sale, never used, call 404-555-3030."
"Watch where you're going," Hannah said indifferently from the sofa without looking at Ruth. The little girl whimpered softly, momentarily distracting her mother from "Days of Our Lives" on the television.
"She's a good baby," blurted Elizabeth, Ruth's grandmother, who had been watching. "Most babies would have been wailing away if they'd bumped their face like that."
"Yeah, but I don't want her getting it any more messed up than it already is," Hannah said. "Bad enough she looks kind of freaky. I'm gonna take care of that."
"You still taking her to the clinic?" asked Elizabeth nervously. "I mean, it's not that bad. We got other kin with the same problem, and they turned out all right. Your baby brother had the same thing - worse actually - and he done fine. He got married."
"You should have done something about him when you could've," Hannah responded. "Everybody would have been a lot better off, but I know they couldn't take care of things like they can now. It's free at the clinic. The government pays for it."
How the cost of tuition helps drive Abortion Rates Affordability is a pro-life issue
By Gianna Rose
gianna.m.rose@gmail.com
Abortion comes from a woman cornered into a bad decision, a woman feeling forced. It's the exertion of pressure on her that pushes her into the waiting arms of a heartless abortionist who tells her that ending her pregnancy, killing her child, solves her problems. She's able to go back to her life, freed from those pressures, if the child is removed.
Abortion is a choice for many women because they feel they lack other choices. Instead of being able to embrace motherhood, they feel financial pressures, as well as social pressures to abort a child instead of raising the child. Over half of abortions are performed on college-aged women, 18-24 years old. Over half of women reported in a study done and reported in Frederica Mathews-Green's "Real Choices" that they felt forced into choosing abortion, that they couldn't choose life.
The social and economic environment of these women help drive their choices, they make it easier to choose death and harder to choose life. To the extent that college tuition and its continually escalating cost reinforces bad choices, it should be changed.

More Information:
Assisted suicide is currently legal in two states- Oregon and Washington-and may have some legal protection in the state of Montana, due to a 2010 court decision. While doctor-prescribed death is legal in only these two Northwest states, assisted suicide advocates have announced they plan on getting a foothold in the Northeast: in Vermont and Massachusetts. Should they succeed, momentum could leave many other New England states vulnerable.
The most serious and imminent threat is in the form of a ballot initiative in Massachusetts. Compassion and Choices, operating under the campaign name "Dignity 2012," must collect almost 70,000 signatures of registered voters before the petition can be presented to the legislature. Lawmakers could either adopt it as a law or let voters decide in the November 2012 general election.
Mass for Miscarried and Still Born Children, Saturday Nov 5th at 9:30 AM
St. Augustine Church, 43 Essex Street, Andover, MA 01810
St. Augustine's in Andover is hosting a Mass of Remembrance for all babies who have died through miscarriage, stillbirth or in early childhood. All are welcome, especially mothers, fathers and families who want to honor their children and heal from the tremendous pain of their passing. Those attending the Mass will have the opportunity to present cards with the name of their children written on them to the presiding priest during the service. All children's cards presented during the Mass of Remembrance will be placed in a basket. After the service, the basket will be brought to the Monastery of Saint Clare in Andover. During the month of November, the Nuns will pray for all those children whose names have been placed in it. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Sexton at 978-258-0433 or kathy@greenler.com
Saturday, October 15 was a day of "supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings" at Planned Parenthood in Boston. Pastor David Hill of Abundant Grace Church was present as usual, leading a small group in prayer and song, this being the third Saturday of the month.
About 25 seminarians from Saint John's Seminary arrived around 9:00 AM and separated into smaller prayer groups. [A second contingent of seminarians went to Women's Health in Brookline.] Students from BC and BU and other pro-life people joined the prayer.
And then, one woman came out, then another, another, and another. "Did you change your mind?" "Yes." One came responded to text messages from her brother, still outside. Aside from the four women, another one is still wavering, but said she would go with Judy, a sidewalk counselor, to A Woman's Concern next week. So, for now, that's five (#88-92).
Mr Chesterton was a delight. He had heard that we have the Doctor Prescribed Death ballot question coming. He shared these insights with us.
Not only is suicide a sin, it is the sin. It is the ultimate and absolute evil, the refusal to take an interest in existence; the refusal to take the oath of loyalty to life. The man who kills a man, kills a man. The man who kills himself, kills all men; as far as he is concerned he wipes out the world. His act is worse (symbolically considered) than any rape or dynamite outrage. For it destroys all buildings: it insults all women. The thief is satisfied with diamonds; but the suicide is not: that is his crime. He cannot be bribed, even by the blazing stones of the Celestial City. The thief compliments the things he steals, if not the owner of them. But the suicide insults everything on earth by not stealing it. He defiles every flower by refusing to live for its sake. There is not a tiny creature in the cosmos at whom his death is not a sneer. When a man hangs himself on a tree, the leaves might fall off in anger and the birds fly away in fury: for each has received a personal affront. Of course there may be pathetic emotional excuses for the act. There often are for rape, and there almost always are for dynamite. But if it comes to clear ideas and the intelligent meaning of things, then there is much more rational and philosophic truth in the burial at the cross-roads and the stake driven through the body, than in Mr. Archer's suicidal automatic machines. There is a meaning in burying the suicide apart. The man's crime is different from other crimes -- for it makes even crimes impossible.
John Triolo is working on the video so everyone can see Mr. Chesterton's presentation.
In spite of the rhetoric, we know O-care contains a lot of abortion coverage and funding. On Thursday, Oct 13th, the House will vote on the Protect Life Act which will correct many of the abortion problems with O-care. Since the Democrats insisted on the abortion expansion in the final bill, you may think, at forst, it is a waste to call our MA. Congressmen.
Here is what I propose:
For those of you who live in the districts of Congressmen Neal (202-225-5601) or Lynch (202-225-8273), please call and remind them that this Act is essentially the same as the Stupak Amendment which they supported. You can find more info at http://www.nationalrighttolife...
For you in the other districts, here is a really simple way to leave word, knowing that your Congressman will most likely ignore your wishes, but knowing that you must do something. Go to http://www.nationalrighttolife... and press "click here" at the end of the article.
It is very important for us to keep up the pressure. We are their constituents and the only ones who can save the babies. Please act on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks, Anne
