This year’s full-page ad, which will appear in the Reno Gazette-Journal on Tuesday, January 22, 2009 marks the 36th anniversary of the horrendous Roe v Wade Supreme Court Decision. It states,
ABORTION stops a beating heart…and breaks another.
36 years since Roe v Wade, and over 49 million lives taken,
BORTION has not solved women’s problems, just created new ones.
Women Deserve Better than Abortion!
If you are suffering after an abortion, there is help.
Contact 1-877-HOPE-4-ME or www.RachelsVineyard.org
We, the undersigned, support the choice we all can live with...we CHOOSE LIFE!
Please see the complete sample copy of the ad
With the new pro-abortion President and Congress we face one of the most challenging pro-abortion agendas in many years. The ad also exposes the pro-abortion agenda being advanced in FOCA, the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act”. FOCA would invalidate virtually all state and federal laws limiting abortion. See enclosed sample ad and the article by Congressman Ron Paul.
The possible passage of FOCA is the most important reason we need your support of the Pro-Life Ad this year! We must be pro-active in defeating this horrendous bill. We must work actively to defeat it now.
The cost of the full-page ad this year will be over $6,000. Your support is vital to the success of the advertisement. In past years the Choose Life Coalition including Nevada Families/Eagle Forum has published the names of over 400 supporters in the advertisement. This is an opportunity to show our state and federal elected officials that there is a vital, active, and committed pro-life movement in Nevada. It is always a huge challenge to get enough sponsors to pay for the ad. This is particularly true since the economy is down this year. Please fill out and mail, fax, phone or email the Sponsorship Form in this Newsletter. Deadline January 16th, mailing deadline January 13th.
South Reno Baptist Church,

“Choose Life--that you and your descendants may live.”
A weekly column, November 17, 2008, by Congressman Ron Paul
As the financial sector continues its tailspin despite efforts to bail out Wall Street, among the few gainers in recent stock trading have been those companies looking for a new “shot in the arm” with government funding from the next administration.
With its strident rhetoric toward reestablishing the so called “pro-choice” agenda, the incoming administration has threatened a whole host of policies that would not only reduce restrictions on abortion, but would actually force people who wish to avoid participating in the procedure to support it.
As a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies I am very disturbed by the continued efforts of those on the left to establish absolute rights to abortion. However, even more distressing is the notion that taxpayers should be forced to subsidize life-ending procedures such as abortion and embryonic stem cell research.
In addition to the news that those who will benefit from federally-funded stem cell research have seen an uptick in their financial position as a result of the election, comes news from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops that many health care facilities under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church may be shut down as a result of the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act” for refusal to perform abortions.
Not only does this Act seem to have growing support in Congress, the President-elect and his Administration have indicated support for this legislation. Since many people cast their votes in a way that they believed would help to improve and increase availability of health care, this is an ironic twist.
Of course, the government takeover of health care began a long time ago, but we should be wary of how far that takeover will go if more private providers are forced out of the marketplace. If enacted, The Freedom of Choice Act and the potential for increased federal funding of embryonic stem cell research will go to show that the incoming Congress and Administration are far more dedicated to a government takeover than they are to affordable and available health care. Moreover, these approaches show no real concern at all for the free choices of taxpayers and health care providers who wish to be free from giving assistance to immoral activities.
These facts should also serve to remind social conservatives that they are better to leave the legislative remedies for important social issues at the level where they constitutionally belong, namely at the discretion of state and local officials. The centralization of power that seemed so attractive to many conservatives just a few years ago no longer seems pleasant at all in light of a more liberal-minded majority in both Houses of Congress and the White House.
This should be a good lesson for future conservative majorities, namely that the centralization of power never results in anything more than the most temporary of “gains” for those who are committed to traditional moral principles, and the power one administration consolidates for itself must inevitably be handed over to the next administration, which will use that increased power for its own agenda.

Warning: E.R.A. is BACK!
The Nevada Legislature begins on February 2, 2009. The newest threat to Life and Family is Bill Draft Request 794. This is a renewal of the ratification of the “so called” Equal Right Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA never passed in Nevada, and in fact, in 1978 was defeated by the people on the ballot by 68%. However, the feminist pro-aborts never give up. They are introducing ERA in the 15 states that never ratified it, including Nevada. Although, there was a 7-year time limit for ratification of ERA the feminists don’t care, they want to pass ERA even if it’s crooked.
ERA will insure that there can be no recognition in law that men and women are different. That means:
1) Overturning of our Protection of Marriage Amendment and DOMA, the federal Defense of Marriage Act. This is because they use gender specific language such as “man” and “woman”.
2) Federally, it will nullify the homemaker’s Social Security benefit based on a husband’s earnings. Although most women are working now, this will deny Social Security benefits to our mothers and grandmothers further impoverishing them.
3) It will grant a constitutional right to abortion on demand for any reason at any time and nullify any protective legislation, such as, parental consent.
Please be sure we have your Email address. We must have your support during the Legislature. Send your email address to Janine at ballot@iapn.org
