#2-- Pro-Life Law Firm encourages the nation to unite against abortion
The Thomas More Law Center in Michigan stood up to opposition from the pro-life movement in the past, now refuses to back down from directly challenging Roe v. Wade. "We must never forget that ending all abortions is the ultimate goal" says attorney Robert Muise, criticizing the movement's "lethargy". The center aims to establish fertilization at the moment of conception, and thus overturn pro-abortion laws and court rulings. (More info)
#3-- Giuliani refuses to meet with prominent conservative leaders Rudy Giuliani is circumventing the most powerful conservative leaders in the nation, and instead directing his energies towards the grassroots activist level. However, opposition comes from the Arlington Group and organizations such as Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council. Giuliani's campaign official has said "Giuliani does not need the support of the nation's leading social conservatives to mobilize conservative activists." His controversial views on abortion and homosexuality are at odds with right wing conservatives and align more with Clinton's than the other Republican candidates.
#4-- Planned Parenthood Center Suspected of Fraud Opens in IllinoisAurora, Illinois, is up in arms over the opening of a Planned Parenthood center this last Tuesday. Anti-abortion protestors gathered on the sidewalks, praying and holding signs in front of the newly opened building. Planned Parenthood actually used its subsidiary, Gemini Office Development LLC, to obtain building permits and licenses. "We kept it private from our opponents, and we did it for a good reason" says the President of Planned Parenthood for the Chicago area. Planned Parenthood has faced significant opposition from anti-abortion groups, who plan on taking legal action against the organization and continuing protests. (See Source)
 #5-- High cases of breast cancer may be due to high numbers of abortions New studies have confirmed what scientists have known for years: abortions can be classified as carcinogens, and determine the number of breast cancer cases in a given population. "Abortion raises breast cancer risk" says Karen Malec, a representative for the Coalition on Abortion and Breast Cancer. Unfortunately, pro-abortionists deny such a connection and refuse to accept that this relationship could be eliminated if abortion was prohibited. (More information)
#6-- Presidential Aspirations: Hillary Clinton to overturn ban on Stem Cell Research
Hillary Clinton has said that she would take immediate action to overturn President Bush's ban on government funding in the areas of embryonic stem cell research as President. Instead, she thinks that opening the door for embryonic stem cell research will help the national economy. Clinton is quoted as saying, "By ignoring or manipulating science, the Bush administration is letting our economic competitors get an edge in the global economy." Clinton forgoes any sense of moral implication by making it an economic issue, though daring to accuse Bush of limiting the "ban on hope". (Source)
A recognized grassroots leader in the fight for the unborn, Grassfire has rallied more than half-a-million citizens with their "Petition For Life" petition that has been presented to key leaders in Washington and beyond.
Right now there are a number of key Pro-Life pieces of legislation in Congress--notably Sen. Brownback's Ultrasound Informed Consent Act, legislation requiring that a doctor perform an ultrasound and then share the results with the woman and allow her to view the images before performing an abortion.
