Pro-life state Senator Deb Fischer (left) came from behind to win the Republican senatorial primary in a six-way race.

On Tuesday Idaho, Nebraska and Oregon held presidential and congressional primaries to determine their party’s nominees for the United States President, Senate, and House of Representatives.

Clearly the biggest news of the night was the upset win of pro-life state Senator Deb Fischer in the Republican primary for Senate. She will face pro-abortion former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey (D) in the November general election.  The seat will be vacant because of the retirement of Senator Ben Nelson (D). Nelson had a mixed record on life issues.

Nebraska

The most watched race of the night was in Nebraska where three major pro-life candidates squared off in the Republican senatorial primary. Trailing by double digits just weeks ago, Fischer came from behind to win in a six-candidate field with 41.1% of the vote.

Fischer prevailed over pro-life state Attorney General Jon Bruning who garnered 35.9% of the vote, and pro-life state Treasurer Don Stenberg, who had 18.8%.  Fischer was endorsed by Nebraska Right to Life PAC as were Bruning and Stenberg and one other pro-life candidate.

In his two terms in the U.S. Senate (1989-2000), Kerrey amassed an extreme pro-abortion voting record.

“Bob Kerrey voted five times to keep partial-birth abortion legal when he was in the U.S. Senate,” said Julie Schmit-Albin, executive director of Nebraska Right to Life.  “We will have a presence at county fairs and the state fair all summer dogging Bob Kerrey on that issue and others.  He will soon find out how out of touch he is with Nebraskans.” 

In 1999 Kerrey also voted for the Harkin Amendment to endorse Roe v. Wade.  

By contrast Fischer voted for Nebraska’s Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which protects from abortion babies who are capable of feeling pain.  Fischer supports legal protection for unborn children and opposes government funding of abortion. 

ObamaCare will provide government funding for health plans that pay for abortion on demand, and will promote the rationing of lifesaving treatments. Kerrey refers to it as “a step in the right direction.” Fischer opposes ObamaCare and will vote to repeal it. 

Idaho

In Idaho, pro-life incumbent Reps. Raul Labrador and Mike Simpson easily won in the Republican primaries.  Their races are considered safe. 

Oregon

Like Idaho, the incumbent representatives won their respective races. Pro-abortion Democratic Reps. Suzanne Bonamici, Earl Blumenauer, and Peter DeFazio, and Rep. Greg Walden (R), who has a pro-life voting record, won their primary elections and their races are considered “safe.”  Pro-abortion Rep. Kurt Schrader (D) won his primary and will face pro-life businessman Fred Thompson (R) in the fifth congressional district in November.  Cook Political Report considers the fifth district “likely Democratic.”

Three congressional primary elections remain to be held in May.  Arkansas and Kentucky will hold theirs on May 22. One week later Texas will hold its congressional primaries, which were delayed due to court challenges over redistricting.

Pro-life Gov. Mitt Romney swept to easy victories in primaries in Nebraska, Idaho, and Oregon. He now has 989 of the 1,144 delegates he needs to win the Republican nomination for President. 

According to POLITICO, there are 794 remaining delegates to be allocated in nine upcoming primaries.  In addition to the remaining May primaries, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota will hold their primaries on June 5.

As discussed previously at NRL News Today, Rep. Ron Paul announced on May 15 that, “We will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted.”  Rep. Paul has won 106 delegates to the GOP National Convention, according to POLITICO.

NARAL President Nancy Keenan and President Obama

While not exactly something to hold the presses over, NARAL Tuesday endorsed pro-abortion President Barack Obama for a second term.

“The difference between President Obama and Mitt Romney on choice is clear and stark,” said NARAL President Nancy Keenan. “We will make sure that voters understand the importance of re-electing President Obama. We are ready to go to battle and work every day to keep a pro-choice leader in the White House.”

Keenan went on to emphasize that NARAL “will focus on a key bloc of women voters in battleground states. Choice is the issue that compels this segment to support President Obama once he is contrasted with a candidate with extreme anti-choice views.” Of course, this assessment came out the day after a new CBS News/New York Times poll showed Romney running ahead of Obama, including with women.

In its press release NARAL offered “Highlights of President Obama’s Accomplishments for Women’s Reproductive Rights.” They are in abortion-speak, but decoded they include

• Obama’s repeal of the Mexico City policy under which funds in the U.S. “population assistance” program went only to overseas organizations that pledged not to “perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning.” The repeal put hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into the hands of organizations that aggressively promote abortion as a population-control tool in the developing world.
• President Obama not only refunded the UNFPA, he boosted spending for it. As National Right to Life has made clear, “The UNFPA is a cheerleader and facilitator for China’s birth-quota program, which relies heavily on coerced abortion. Top UNFPA officials have been completely cozy with China’s birth-quota bosses. For 20 years, top UNFPA leaders have consistently praised China’s program and attacked its critics.” The irony is, of course, that even as NARAL is praising Obama for championing UNFPA, human rights champion Chen Guancheng has been persecuted mercilessly for exposing China’s program of coerced abortion.
• NARAL gives Obama high-fives for pledging to veto the “No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act” (H.R. 3). H.R. 3 would codify the principles of the Hyde Amendment on a permanent, government-wide basis, applicable to both longstanding federal health programs and to the new programs created by ObamaCare. Likewise for attacking the Protect Life Act (H.R. 358) which would nullify the multiple abortion-expanding provisions of the ObamaCare.
• NARAL congratulates the Obama Administration for doing everything it can to eliminate conscience protections; for mandating that religious institutions and individuals of conscience pay for health insurance plans that cover medical procedures and drugs contrary to their religious beliefs and consciences; and, of course, for ObamaCare, which will provide funding for health plans that pay for abortion on demand, and will lead to the rationing of lifesaving medical treatments.

NARAL is quite correct: the contrast between pro-life Mitt Romney and pro-abortion Barack Obama is “clear and stark.” Both NARAL and pro-lifers will be doing their best to make sure the American public knows who stands for life and who stands for death.

Pro-abortion President Barack Obama

Lots and lots of interesting stories these last 24 hours, suggesting the Obama team is more nervous than previous accounts suggested, and with good reason. Unquestionably Monday’s New York Times/CBS News poll brought these mounting apprehensions to the surface.

As National Right to Life News Today reported, the results showed pro-life Mitt Romney ahead of pro-abortion Barack Obama by three points, but, adding insult to injury (from the President’s perspective), the poll found Obama trailed Romney among women, 44% to 46%.

The Obama Administration immediately went on the offensive, insisting that “The methodology was significantly biased,” according to Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager, appearing on MSNBC. “It is a biased sample.” The Times stood by the results; CBS News chose not to respond.

Wednesday’s news from Gallup was worse. Under the subhead, ”Historical Comparisons Are Mostly Inauspicious for Obama,” Gallup’s Lydia Saad concluded, “Comparing today’s economic and political ratings with those from previous years when presidents sought re-election reveals that today’s climate is more similar to years when incumbents lost than when they won.”

POLITICO summarized the results, writing, “The polling firm reports Wednesday that Obama’s approval rating remains below 50 percent; that only about a quarter of the country is satisfied with the direction of the country; and that economic issues remain the primary concern for two-thirds of Americans.” Tim Mak added, “In particular, Obama’s job approval rating averaged 47 percent during the first full week of March.”

This on top of all that came down last week. Writing on National Journal Daily, Josh Kraushaar pointed to a “glaring disconnect” between this conventional wisdom “and the fundamentals” which do not bode well for the President.

It’s not just the obvious—an economy limping along and the public’s abiding dislike for Obama’s “signature” domestic achievement, ObamaCare.

Kraushaar cited Obama’s approval ratings “stuck at 47 percent against Mitt Romney in all three surveys, with the small slice of undecided voters tilting against the president.” Likewise, “Obama’s scores on the economy are worsening, even as voters still have mixed feelings on who’s to blame.”

It’s actually worse than that for President Obama. Not so long ago a majority still blamed former President Bush. However “In the Battleground survey, nearly as many voters now blame Obama for the state of the economy (39 percent) as those who don’t think it’s his fault (40 percent).”

And worst of all, almost twice as many people believe the country is on the wrong track (59%) as think the country is on the right track (33%, according to two recent polls. On top of that, Kraushaar cited what he called “the waning enthusiasm of his base—college-age voters, African-Americans, and Hispanics.”

And to take just one more piece of news whose significance cannot be overstated, a month ago Romney and Obama were essentially tied in North Carolina. According to today’s Rasmussen Reports, Romney is now ahead 51% to 43%. Obama narrowly carried the state in 2008 and the Democrats are having their national convention in the Tar Heel State.

New Obama Scam (You Must Pay, But Nobody Pays) Lays Groundwork for Future National Abortion Mandate

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) (R) and Chinese dissident and president of ChinaAid Bob Fu (L) listen to Chen Guangcheng on the phone during a hearing before the Global Health, and Human Rights Subcommittee of House Foreign Affairs Committee May 15, 2012

CNN is reporting today that pro-life human rights activist Chen Guangcheng has said that the paperwork for passports for himself, his wife, and their two children has been completed.  “It’s the first concrete step forward,” said Chen, who is anxious to study abroad, presumably in the United States.

Chen’s encouraging remarks came a day after he talked via speakerphone with members of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, the second time he had spoken with Congress in twelve days.

Chen served more than four years in prison after revealing China’s brutal policy of forced abortion and forced sterilization, part and parcel of its “One Child” policy. He had been under house arrest for 19 months before he escaped April 22.

Chen told CNN on Wednesday that officials from his Shandong Province in eastern China provided him with the forms. The day before—the same day Smith held his subcommittee hearing–Victoria Nuland, the U.S. State Department spokeswoman, said, “We are ready when he and his government are ready,” adding, “We have been for more than a week now in terms of his visa to come pursue his studies.”

Nonetheless, Chen’s situation remains precarious, as is that of his family and supporters.

Tuesday’s hearing entitled, “Chen Guangcheng: His Case, Cause, Family, and Those Who are Helping Him,” featured human rights leaders determined to assist Chen by speaking out at an open hearing. As he did May 3 at a meeting of the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China, Bob Fu, himself a former political prisoner and now Founder and President of the ChinaAid Association, made contact with Chen during the hearing.

“I just want to talk about what had happened to my other family members after I escaped from my own home,” Chen told the panel through a translator. “On April 26th around midnight, there was a group of thugs [of] the Chinese local authorities, [who] just broke into my home, and started beating them violently. And my elder brother was taken away by these thugs and without any reasoning, and then they came back and started beating up on my nephew, Chen Kegui. They used sticks and violently beat him up. For three hours he was bleeding on his head and face—it would not stop.”

Fu talked about what happened when lawyers Jiang Tianyong and Teng Biao tried to visit Chen Guangcheng in hospital. “They were both beaten and Jiang lost the hearing in one ear,” said Fu.

Fu told the panel that despite the fact that the two sides have reached a well publicized agreement on Chen’s freedom and security, Chen remains under house arrest in hospital, and his visitors are barred, tailed and beaten.  “Chen Guangcheng has paid an extremely heavy price to defend the rights of the disadvantaged groups who were the victims of coercive population control measures (mainly women).  His conscience, courage and spirit has been like a light shining in the long dark night of China’s human rights, and also inspiring people around the world who are struggling for human rights and justice.”

Cong. Chris Smith

Thank you for joining us for this hearing to examine the status of the Chinese human rights defender, Chen Guangcheng, and that of his family and others who have been targeted by Chinese officials in connection with his case.

This hearing will also focus on Chen’s cause. Chen Guangcheng is among the bravest defenders of women’s rights in the world. Chen defended thousands of women from the ongoing, most egregious systematic state-sponsored exploitation and abuse of women in human history—pervasive forced abortion and involuntary sterilization as part of China’s one child per couple policy—and has suffered torture, cruel and degrading treatment, unjust incarceration, and multiple beatings as a result.

The sheer magnitude of this exploitation of women has been largely overlooked and trivialized by many—and even enabled. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has for over thirty years supported, defended, and whitewashed the crimes against women and children Chen struggled to expose. That’s why President Reagan and more recently President Bush defunded the UNFPA. In an indefensible reversal, the Obama Administration has provided approximately $165 million to the UNFPA.

Mr. Chen was blinded by a severe fever as an infant, and is a self-taught lawyer. He garnered international attention in 2005 when he organized a class action lawsuit against local officials who were forcing women to undergo abortions and sterilizations to comply with China’s one-child policy. There were as many as 130,000 involuntary abortions and sterilizations being performed in Linyi County in a single year. In response to his heroic efforts to defend women and men from these monstrous abuses, Mr. Chen was sentenced to over four years in prison on trumped up charges, and then subjected to extralegal house arrest.

In response to his incredible escape on April 22nd and the events that followed, I chaired an emergency hearing about Mr. Chen with the Congressional-Executive Commission on China in this same room on May 3rd. During that hearing, which took place just days after Mr. Chen left the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, Mr. Chen spoke to us from his hospital bed in Beijing over Mr. Bob Fu’s cell phone.

Mr. Chen indicated that he wanted to come to the United States “for some time of rest,” noting that he has not had rest for the past 10 years. He asked for a face to face meeting with Secretary of State Clinton, who was in Beijing. He also expressed fear for the life of his family members, and said that he was most concerned about their safety, especially that of his mother and brother. He was extremely concerned about their welfare and whereabouts.

In that context, Mr. Chen noted that security officers had installed seven video cameras and even an electric fence around his house in Shandong Province, saying that they “want to see what else Chen Guangcheng can do.” As soon as the authorities learned of his escape, they refused to allow his daughter to attend school. For these reasons, he was justifiably worried that the villagers and others who were helping him were being subjected to severe, life-threatening retribution.

Reports that we have received since then are corroborating Mr. Chen’s fears. Following his escape from house arrest, Chinese officials started breaking into the homes of his family in the same village and rounding up those who may have assisted him for interrogations. When local officials and thugs broke into the home of Mr. Chen’s brother, Mr. Chen’s nephew, Chen Kegui reportedly tried to defend himself with a kitchen knife. He is now in a police detention center. I am extremely concerned for his welfare, as well as that of Mr. Chen’s other extended family members.

The day after that emergency hearing, on May 4th, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on their website the statement that “[a]s a Chinese citizen, [Mr. Chen] may apply like other Chinese citizens according to the laws and normal procedures of the relevant departments.” The U.S. Department of State also issued a press release, announcing that:

“[t]he Chinese Government stated today that Mr. Chen Guangcheng has the same right to travel abroad as any other citizen of China. Mr. Chen has been offered a fellowship from an American university, where he can be accompanied by his wife and two children.

“The Chinese Government has indicated that it will accept Mr. Chen’s applications for appropriate travel documents. The United States Government expects that the Chinese Government will expeditiously process his applications for these documents….”

Now, eleven days later, Mr. Chen is still in the same hospital room, with his wife and two children under de facto house arrest. Although Mr. Chen is under the impression that his application for a passport was made last Sunday when he was visited by a Chinese official – and under Chinese law, blind persons are supposed to be able to apply orally for travel documents – he has not been notified of any further action on the application. With the exception of the half-hour each morning and afternoon that the children are escorted outside by one of the nurses, he and his family are not allowed to leave the hospital and no one is allowed inside to see them.

Anyone who attempts to see Mr. Chen risks severe retaliation. For example, on May 2nd, human rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong attempted to visit Mr. Chen in the hospital. He was forcibly taken away by police officers. It was later reported that Mr. Jiang was beaten so severely that he lost his hearing in at least one ear, and he has been forced to move from Beijing to Hebei Province until after the 18th Party Congress.

Mr. Jiang was here in the United States in October 2009 and testified twice before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Mr. Wolf [Congressman Frank Wolf] chaired one of those hearings – I chaired another. One of his recommendations was that President Obama speak with President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao about freeing a number of political prisoners, including Chen Guangcheng who was imprisoned at that time. Now, Mr. Jiang himself must be included in the list of those on whose behalf the United States advocates.

Chinese nationals are not the only ones prohibited from trying to meet Mr. Chen. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China reported in early May that officials threatened to revoke the visas of foreign journalists who entered the hospital without permission. I would note here that many journalists have demonstrated courage and laudable perseverance in publicizing Mr. Chen’s plight. It is largely due to their promotion of Mr. Chen’s case that it has reached this stage of his possible travel to the United States. I would earnestly ask them not to forget Mr. Chen and his family, or his extended family and others who are risking their security and lives on his behalf. The story, unfortunately, is far from over.

Holly Gatling, Executive Director, South Carolina Citizens for Life

COLUMBIA, S.C.–Two pro-life bills, one that protects the lives of newborn infants and the other that opts South Carolina out of paying for abortion under ObamaCare, advanced closer to final passage this week in the Legislature.  If both bills pass this session, they will be the 12th and 13th pro-life laws enacted in the Palmetto State. (See the graph at http://sclife.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SCCitizensforLifeChart-V2-12.jpg)

On Wednesday, by a vote of 107-0, the House gave second reading to the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.  Seventeen members were either absent or not voting.  Third reading approval is generally perfunctory before a bill goes to Governor Nikki Haley for her signature. 

It is the fourth time in six years that the House has approved the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act but the first time the state Senate has passed the bill since the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act became law in 2002.  Born-Alive had finally passed the Senate April 14, after pro-life senators mounted an intensive effort to override pro-abortion blockades.

On Tuesday, a House subcommittee also passed the Opt-Out bill which now goes to the full committee of Labor, Commerce, and Industry.  The subcommittee rebuffed pro-abortion groups and passed Senate bill S102 to opt South Carolina out of paying for abortion if ObamaCare insurance exchanges are implemented in 2014.  

Last year the House passed a more comprehensive pro-life bill that included the Opt-Out language, conscience protection for health care employees, and a provision to ban insurance companies that operate in South Carolina from providing automatic abortion coverage unless the insured purchases a separate rider for abortion.  The Senate Medical Affairs Committee rejected the bill. However the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee had already passed Opt-Out language separately.

Again, pro-life senators mounted an intensive effort to override the pro-abortion senators blocking Opt Out. It passed the Senate March 15, 2012, and went back to the House.

Supporting passage of the Opt-Out law and Born-Alive Infant Protection Act are organizations representing hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians including South Carolina Citizens for Life, the Palmetto Family Council, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Catholic Diocese of Charleston, the Christian World View Center of North Greenville University, the South Carolina Association of Pregnancy Care Centers and numerous individuals. 

During testimony, Chairman Bill Sandifer, R-Oconee, swiftly shot down the pro-abortion argument of Victoria Middleton, executive director of the South Carolina American Civil Liberties Union who opposes the Opt-Out bill.  He pointed out that the ACLU unsuccessfully attempted to enjoin the Opt-Out provisions of ObamaCare in Kansas and Missouri. 

“Are you aware of that?” he asked. Ms. Middleton said she was.  Representative Sanford dismissed her further arguments saying, “I understand your request.  It is not based on constitutionality.”

Elaine Faithful, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Coalition of Health Families, also opposed the Opt-Out bill. Philosophically aligned with NARAL, the coalition opposes even modest, life-protecting measure including informed consent and waiting periods before an abortion is performed.    http://www.schealthyfamilies.org/issues/privacy.aspx.

NRLC President Carol Tobias

Yesterday National Right to Life News Today ran two stories about ultrasound legislation. Ultrasounds allow the mother the opportunity to see that there is a real, live human inside her. And when she sees that image, she is far more likely to say “no” to the abortionist and “yes” to life for the child growing inside.

On Wednesday’s edition of Pro-Life Perspective, National Right to Life President and PLP Host Carol Tobias thoughtfully picks apart the reasons behind the pro-abortionist’s hysterical opposition. You can hear her at www.prolifeperspective.com.

One big reason, Mrs. Tobias notes, is that rather than debate the merits, pro-abortionists have tried to make this into a part of a spurious “war on women.” This is sheer nonsense because as she notes

“virtually all abortionists already use transvaginal ultrasound probes. As even Paula Hodges, director of public policy and advocacy at Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, has acknowledged, ultrasounds ‘are an integral part of abortion care.’ And the National Abortion Federation called on all abortionists to perform ultrasounds before an abortion.”

Which goes along with a second reason pro-abortionists attack ultrasound legislation, one that is equally political. They attempt to hide the importance of ultrasounds to informed consent by pretending it is just the ‘agenda’ of [fill in the blank]. But objective medical information (in the form of the ultrasound image itself and any accompanying description of the baby) is just that: a recitation of the medical facts.

Mrs. Tobias concludes

“And therein lies the abortion industry’s fear: women rejecting abortion when they learn the truth. The men and women who have become millionaires providing and performing abortions know all too well that as the number of women choose life increases, their financial bottom line will shrink.”
