Dear Pro-Life American,
For 48 years, a few unelected men and women on the Supreme Court have played
God with innocent human life.
They have invented laws that condemned to painful deaths without trial more
than 62 million babies for the crime of being "inconvenient."
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling forced abortion-on-demand
down our nation's throat.
In the past, many in the pro-life movement have felt limited to protecting a
life here and there -- passing some limited law to slightly control abortion in
the more outrageous cases.
But some pro-lifers always seem to tiptoe around the Supreme Court, hoping they
won't be offended.
Now the time to grovel before the Supreme Court is over.
Working from what the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade, pro-life lawmakers
can pass a Life at Conception Act and end abortion using the Constitution
instead of amending it.
That is why it's so urgent you sign the petition to your Senators and Congressman
that I will link to in a moment.
Signing the Life at Conception Act petition will help break through the
opposition clinging to abortion-on-demand and ultimately win a vote on this
life-saving bill to overturn Roe v. Wade.
A Life at Conception Act declares unborn children "persons" as
defined by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, entitled to legal protection.
This is the one thing the Supreme Court admitted in Roe v. Wade that would
cause the case for legal abortion to "collapse."
When the Supreme Court handed down its now-infamous Roe v. Wade decision, it
did so based on a new, previously undefined "right of privacy" which
it "discovered" in so-called "emanations" of
"penumbrae" of the Constitution.
Of course, as constitutional law, it was a disaster.
But never once did the Supreme Court declare abortion itself to be a
constitutional right.
Instead, the Supreme Court said:
"We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins... the
judiciary at this point in the development of man's knowledge is not in a
position to speculate as to the answer."
Then the High Court made a key admission:
"If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case
[i.e., "Roe" who sought an abortion], of course, collapses, for the
fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."
The fact is, the 14th Amendment couldn't be clearer:
"... nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or
property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the law."
Furthermore, the 14th Amendment says:
"Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article."
That's exactly what a Life at Conception Act would do.
But this simple, logical and obviously right legislation will not become law
without a fight.
And that's where your help is critical.
You see, it will be a tough fight, but I believe with your signed petition it
is one we can win.

petition right away.
By turning up the heat through a massive, national, grassroots campaign in this
session of Congress, one of two things will happen.
If you and other pro-life activists pour on enough pressure, pro-lifers can
force politicians from both parties who were elected on pro-life platforms to
make good on their promises and ultimately win passage of this bill.
But even if a Life at Conception Act doesn't pass immediately, the public
attention will send another crew of radical abortionists down to defeat in the
next elections.
Either way, the unborn win... unless you do nothing.
That's why the National Pro-Life Alliance is contacting hundreds of thousands
of Americans just like you to mobilize a grassroots army to pass a Life at
Conception Act.
The first thing you must do is
sign your petition by clicking here.
They are the key ingredient in the National Pro-Life Alliance's plan to pass a
Life at Conception Act. They'll also organize:
... Hard-hitting TV, radio and newspaper ads
to be run just before each vote, detailing the horrors of abortion and
mobilizing the American people.
... Extensive personal lobbying of key
members of Congress by rank-and-file National Pro-Life Alliance members and
staff.
... A series of newspaper columns to be
distributed free to all 1,331 daily newspapers now published in the United
States.
... An extensive email, direct mail and telephone
campaign to generate at least one million petitions to Congress like the
one linked to in this letter.
Of course,
to do all this will take a lot of money.
Just to email and mail the letters necessary to produce one million
petitions will cost at least $460,000.
Newspaper, TV and radio are even more expensive.
But I'm sure you'll agree pro-lifers cannot just sit by watching the slaughter
continue.
The National Pro-Life Alliance's goal is to deliver one million petitions to
the House and Senate in support of a Life at Conception Act.
When the bill comes up for a vote in Congress, it is crucial to have the
full weight of an informed public backing the pro-life position.
I feel confident that the folks at the National Pro-Life Alliance can gather
those one million petitions.
But even though many Americans who receive this email will sign the petition,
many won't be able to contribute. That's why it's vital you agree to your
donation of $10, or even more if you can.
Without your help, the National Pro-Life Alliance will be unable to gather
the one million petitions and mount the full-scale national campaign necessary
to pass a Life at Conception Act.
A sacrificial gift of $50 or even $25 now could spare literally millions of
innocent babies in years to come. But if that's too much, please consider
chipping in with a donation of $10.
You should also know that a National Pro-Life Alliance supporter wants to make
your decision to give easier by agreeing to match your donation, no matter the
size, increasing its value by 100%!
So please respond right away with
your signed petition.
And please help by agreeing to your generous contribution of $10. Some people
have already given as much as $500. Others have given $100.
But no matter how much you give, whether it's chipping in with $10 or a
larger contribution of $25, I guarantee your contribution is urgently needed
and will be deeply appreciated.
That's why I hope and pray that you will not delay a moment to make a
contribution of $10, $25, or even $50 if you can.
Your contribution to the National Pro-Life Alliance and your signed petition
will be the first steps toward reversing Roe v. Wade and waking up the
politicians about where our barbarous pro-abortion policy is taking us.
Sincerely,
Rand Paul,
United States Senator (R-KY)
