On Wednesday on Focus on the Family, James Dobson talked with Gary
Bauer, director of the Family Research Council (FRC), who urged
listeners to call their Congressmen and Senators in support of the
Title X regulation that prohibits federal funds from being used for
abortion counseling.

Legislation overturning this regulation is expected to pass, but
President Bush has promised to veto it.  Incredibly, Bauer now fears,
there may be some trouble in upholding his veto.  Planned Parenthood
has spent $5 million on advertising in the past two weeks, he says, to
convince Congress to overturn the regulations.  That is twice as much
money as the FRC's entire annual budget.

Please call your Congressman and both Senators and tell them:

    - You support President Bush on this issue,

    - You don't want any of your tax dollars going to help convince
      women and girls to get abortions, and

    - The issue is *not* whether women are entitled to be informed
      of all the options regarding their pregnancies.  To be fully
      informed, they would have to be told how early their unborn 
      baby's heartbeat, brain waves, etc. start. Planned Parenthood 
      and the other abortion providers have always and continue to 
      oppose telling women these facts.

All Congressmen's and Senators' offices can be reached via the
Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

I cannot urge you strongly enough to make your voice heard in
Washington.  Please call or write, as this critical bill is before the
congress presently, and your voice needs to be heard!  If the promised
veto for this bill is upheld, then abortion providers like Planned
Parenthood will be forced to change their operations, or operate
without federal funding.  [ If you would like to write, I'd be happy to
send you a form letter that you can edit to your satisfaction, just
contact me. - steve ]

Congressional Representatives can be reached at the House Office
Building, Washington, DC 20515

Senators can be reached at the Senate Office Building, Washington, DC
20510

Also before congress is the Smith-Mollohan-Coats bill (HR1490)
requiring parental notification for minors who are seeking abortions.
Under present law, minors are required to have parental permission to
have their ears pierced, but not to have an abortion!  Please inform
your representatives your support for the passage of this bill, and
request that as your representative, their vote to be in favor of it.

Quote of the month: 

If you ever need to remember where Planned Parenthood is comming from,
just remember what their founder stated as to an infant's rights to 
"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness:"

``The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant
  members is to kill it.''
				    Margaret Sanger, 
				    Founder of Planned Parenthood

Submissions for "Quote of the month" are dearly sought.
