WASHINGTON, May 10 -- The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of right-to-life organizations in all 50 states, issued the following statement regarding President Obama's nomination of Elena Kagan to fill the seat on the U.S. Supreme Court that is being vacated by Justice John Paul Stevens. This statement may be attributed to NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson.
On April 21, 2010, President Obama used thinly veiled code language to communicate his clear intent to choose a nominee who would be hostile to legislative attempts to protect unborn humans. The President stated that he wanted someone "who is going to be interpreting our Constitution in a way that takes into account . . . women's rights," and that this was going to be "very important" to him as he viewed our "core Constitution" as protecting the "bodily integrity" of women.
Nevada Right to Life is engaged in educational, charitable and legislative action that affirms the God-given dignity and rights of every human being - from conception to natural death.
To that end, Nevada Right to Life has prepared a Candidate Questionnaire for all Nevada candidates in the 2010 election. We will be providing the questionnaire below to all the candidates in the upcoming contests.
"Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth." - Samuel Johnson
The pro-life movement has made great strides in recent years exposing the horrors of abortion and showing the real damage it inflicts on women, men, and children. Pro-life advocates have also been successful in showcasing the beauty of life and persuading women that abortion is the un-choice, that choosing Life is choosing Truth.
Nevada Right to Life is opening another avenue for the promotion of Life to our community: Poetry for Life. If you have a poetic inclination, please post your own poem or send your poetry to us using the Contact Us link above.
If we especially like your poetry, we may have it read by a local actor and publish it in a podcast!
