ACTION NEEDED – SB356

SteadfastWomen

According to Abolish Abortion Missouri, SB356, the Abolition of Abortion in Missouri Act, will be given a hearing in the Senate Health and Welfare Committee at 9:30am local time on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at the Capitol in Jefferson City. Out of love for and on behalf of our pre-born neighbors, all who are able to attend this hearing need to show up!

We also need anyone who can to be contacting members of the committee. Their publicly available contact information is below. You DO NOT have to live in Missouri to contact these legislators.

Tips for Interaction

Be kind and ask each legislator for their support of SB356 as it is the only bill of equal protection filed this session. Remind each legislator that every person is made in the image of God, that as elected legislators they have the duty to establish justice and protect even their most vulnerable citizens, and that abortion is still legal in Missouri and will continue to be unless SB356 is passed. I personally am going to point out the Missouri’s nickname is the “Show-Me” state and these legislators can be seen as leaders in this space since, if SB356 is passed into law, they would be the first state to equally protect all human beings from the moment of fertilization! I will encourage them that they can show the rest of the country what it is like to LEAD on the issue abolishing the holocaust of abortion!

I also find the graphic below helpful if questions arise about the term equal protection.

Please share with everyone you know. Remember, you do NOT have to live in Missouri to contact these legislators!

Abolishing Abortion in Texas Conference & Mission Recap

The Abolishing Abortion in Texas Conference and Mission was hosted by Love of Truth Ministries in Spring Branch, TX, on April 13th-15th. Outreaches were conducted at the University of Texas – San Antonio as well as the Alamo.

State Abolition Bill(s) Updates

  • Kentucky
    • Pro-Life backed politicians refused to give HB300 a hearing.
  • Indiana
    • Pro-Life backed politicians refused to give HB1596 a hearing.
  • South Carolina
    • Pro-Life backed politician refused to give HB3549 a hearing. According to Facebook post from Equal Protection South Carolina, the bill the pro-life lobby is pushing is set for special order next week to be debated in the Senate. If the bill is enacted, it would make it more difficult, if not impossible,to actually abolish abortion in South Carolina.

Abolition Headlines

Abolitionists Rising released multiple videos on YouTube recently including:

Abolish Abortion Texas released an informative article titled “What’s really going on with the Texas abortion pill case?”. They also released a video on their YouTube channel titled “”I agree with the abolitionist position except for 2 things…“”.

Dusty Deevers of Rescue Those has tweeted very helpful threads on abolition and equal protection the last two weeks. Links are below:

Pro-Life Headlines

There has been several items through out the pass two week that the pro-life establishment are calling “wins” that are anything but for our pre-born neighbors. We took on their misinformation with an article of our own titled “Mifepristone, Florida Heartbeat Act, and 32K babies saved?!  Here’s the truth…“.

Pro-Life Congressman Lindsey Graham, who introduced a bill to limit abortions at the federal level in September 2023, was interviewed recently about his views on abortion. He has several quotes worth noting:

  • “I’m very pro-life, and I think being pro-life is a winning message,” the Republican senator said. “I oppose late-term abortions. I have a bill that set a national minimum standard of 15 weeks. Fifty out of the 53 European nations ban abortion at 15 weeks. I have an exception for rape, incest and life of the mother.”
  • “We can win this issue at the ballot box if we show up with reasonable positions. If we have our head in the sand, we’re going to lose,”

I shared this in order to show, again, that pro-life backed politician have no interest in abolishing abortion, only to continue regulating it as healthcare.

Pro-Life Congresswoman Nancy Mace also made headlines recently when she stated the FDA should be in charge of what drugs it approves, not judges, concerning the ruling on Mifepristone. She stated, “We have, over the last nine months, not shown compassion towards women, and this is one of those issues that I’ve tried to lead on as someone who’s ‘pro-life’ and just have some common sense.” When Mace was a state lawmaker in South Carolina, she successfully advocated for the inclusion of exceptions for rape and incest in a proposed six-week “fetal heartbeat” abortion ban bill. I believe Abolitionists Rising said it best in the tweet below:

Mifepristone, Florida Heartbeat Act, and 32K babies saved?!  Here’s the truth…

SteadfastWomen

It has been a busy week sorting through what the pro-life movement is calling “wins”.  I know it is hard to keep up so I decided to write a brief synopsis of the truth about the Mifepristone ruling, the 32,000 “saved” babies since Roe v. Wade was overturned, and Florida’s passage the Heartbeat Protection Act. (Please note, I am not a journalist, this is simply a blog).

Mifepristone

It has been a back and forth week of rulings concerning Mifepristone, the first drug used in most chemical abortions; however, as it stands now, the Supreme Court has put a hold on any decisions until Wednesday, April 19th, so they can consider the Biden administration’s appeal. Regardless of what happens, if Mifepristone cannot be produced here in the US, there are plenty of overseas retailors who will ship the pills (and already do) to women in the US. Remember, chemical abortions are legal in every state for pregnant women to perform meaning they would face no criminal penalties for ordering pills from an overseas source and taking them to murder their child(ren) in the womb.  It is worth noting, Mifepristone is the pill in the chemical abortion regimen that starves the child in the womb to death, it is not the pill that aborts the baby.  The pill that aborts the baby is called Misoprostol and chemical abortions can be done using only Misoprostol.  If Mifepristone is pulled off the market and a woman does not feel comfortable ordering from overseas, they will simply prescribe her a Misoprostol only abortion. It is also worth nothing that abortion pill reversals cannot be done after Misoprostol is taken. Chemical abortions will continue at the same rate no matter the ruling, unfortunately, and more babies will die as a result of the pill reversal no longer being an option.

32,000 Babies Saved?

You may also have seen headlines this week about 32,000 babies being saved since the overturning of Roe. This is misinformation, unfortunately, as well.  Those statistics only take into account abortions that happen within the US healthcare system. They do not take into account abortions outside the healthcare system which are done by ordering pills online and consuming them. According to a recent report, chemical abortion pill requests have increased to 6,500 pills a month, which is more than the total decline of abortions within the US healthcare system.  That means more children have potentially been murdered since Roe was overturned than before its reversal, not 32,000 less.

Florida’s Heartbeat Protection Act

I have seen many headlines celebrating Florida’s passing of the Heartbeat Protection Act. Here are the main issues with this bill and why it should not be considered a “win”:

  • It codifies the legal murder of children into law, regulating abortion as healthcare. This is an abomination to God which is explained on this podcast episode.
  • It has exemptions for fetal abnormalities and children conceived in rape/incest.
  • It does not abolish abortion; it forces women make their decisions in haste which will lead to the death of more children.
  • There is no oversite at abortion clinics requiring them to be truthful about gestational age. This law supposes women who are bringing their children in to be murdered and the abortionist will be honest.

Here is another point to contemplate. DeSantis beat out his opponent by 19 points in the 2022 governor’s race. They have a Republican super majority, and we are in a post-Roe world. All of that and they are still regulating abortion as healthcare. Why? I have ideas, but it is clear the pro-life backed politicians in Florida, and every other state, have no interest in abolishing abortion.

Texas Judge Ruling on Mifepristone Explained

On Friday, April 7th, two rulings happened concerning Mifepristone, the first pill used in a chemical abortion that starves the baby to death. In Oregon, an Obama appointee ruled there should be no changes on the sale of Mifepristone. In Texas, a Trump appointed judge ruled the drug unlawful. The decision will not take effect for a week and the Biden Administration has already filed an appeal. The decision could possibly go to the Supreme Court, but it will do nothing to curb chemical abortions. Chemical abortions can be done with Misoprostol alone, which is the drug that induced the abortion. Chemical abortion pill site like PlanC are already educating their clientele about this process.

Pro-Life Headlines

Prolifer Nancy Mace (SC) introduced a bill in Congress titled “The Women’s Healthcare Anti-Death Penalty Construction Act” that would make it illegal for states to issue capital punishment for women who murder their pre-born children calling it “cruel and unusual punishment”. Mace stated, “Executing a woman who chooses not to carry her rapist’s baby is the very definition of cruel and unusual punishment” when in reality, slaughtering a child for the sins of their father is what is truly cruel and unjust.

Abolition Headlines

Abolitionists Rising has posted several new YouTube Videos to their channel. Title are as follows:

The Honest Youth Pastor hosted Russell Hunter on his YouTube Channel this past week for a discussion called “Is Abolishing Abortion Realistic“.

AIMKS leader Clifton Boje worked with Representative Jason Goetz this week to distribute Rescue Those’s pamphlet titled “The Role of Civil Government” to every Representative in the Kansas House. Goetz’s letter that accompanied the pamphlet was signed by nine additional House Representatives.
