In its first month, the 112th Congress, under the leadership of Speaker of the House John Boehner, the Right to Life is proving to be a key priority with Congressional Republicans in their crusade to oppose the radical Obama agenda.
Their first point of business was to repeal the pro-abortion health care bill, Obamacare. Despite that meaningless Executive Order that the chief priests gave to the Judases like Tom Periello, Paul Kanjorski, Kathy Dahlkemper, Joe Donnelly, Baron Hill, and the king of the Benedict Arnolds, Bart Stupak, Obamacare still had a provision for federal funding for abortion in spite of the Hyde Amendment. And the votes later provided the rope which hung Judas in shame, with the ballot boxes acting as the tree limbs.
Shortly after, Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ4) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL3) introduced the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" (H.R. 3) which would end taxpayer funding for abortion once and for all. And most recently, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN6), who has waged a one-man crusade against Planned Parenthood, has now introduced an amendment to remove federal funding for the abortion provider, which has been under fire lately due to an undercover investigations made by Lila Rose and Live Action as part of their Mona Lisa Project. The amendment, which has generated a heated debate on the House Floor, as it has all the other times it was debated, is expected to come up for a vote later today.
The trend is only part of a pro-life tidal wave which is spreading across the country. Here in beautiful New Jersey, we had the privilege of having our governor, Chris Christie (R), become the first NJ Governor to address our pro-life rally on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade (Gov. Christie is New Jersey's first pro-life governor). And just this week, right across the Delaware, pro-life Gov. Tom Corbett (R-PA) has fired a number of state workers for their involvement in West Philadelphia abortion scandal.
Only time will determine whether or not this is the beginning of the victory of the Culture of Life, but all our work fighting for the rights of our society's most precious and most vulnerable members is beginning to come into fruition. Now more than ever, we must keep fighting the good fight.
UPDATE: The Pence Amendment passed the House by a vote of 240-185 with one member voting "present". It now goes to the Senate for consideration.
