I need your help to reduce abortions. I am giving you a short window of opportunity to help reduce abortions in a needy area of North Carolina. According to one study by Focus on the Family, 84% of women decide against an abortion after seeing an ultrasound of their baby. Ultrasounds save lives and we need more of them in crisis pregnancy centers.
I am participating in an event for the Pregnancy Support Services Center of Wake Forest, North Carolina. It is called the Walk For Life 2010. I will be walking to raise money for a mobile ultrasound unit. This unit will travel to remote areas of eastern and north eastern North Carolina, helping less fortunate women make informed decisions and helping to prevent them from having abortions.

“The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.”
- Albert Camus
I'm sure that there are many well-meaning people out there who are asking, "Whats so bad about the government helping poor people have health insurance"? In truth, there is nothing wrong with wanting to help poor people providing the money used to do it is voluntarily given and those receiving it are truly deserving and that it is given in an efficient and responsible manner (which i might add the federal government is incapable of doing). Leaving those concerns aside, the healthcare bill that our President just signed into law uses your tax dollars to fund abortions.

To say that the pro-life position is damaging to the Republican party is both ridiculous and nonfactual. Pro-life advocates have formed the core of the base of the Republican party ever since the party adopted the pro-life portion of its platform. Some weak-kneed republican candidates who have soft-pedaled abortion have been damaged by pro-lifers, but the party as a whole has benefited greatly by their support. Despite the support that the pro-life cause raises, many in Hollywood and in the mainstream media would have you believe that the pro-lifers are an insignificant minority. In a recent article in the Washington Post, Susan B. Anthony List presidentMarjorie Dannenfelser demonstrates that this is simply not true:
"A Gallup poll last May showed that the majority of the nation, crossing all demographics, labels itself "pro-life." Fifty-one percent of Americans prefer the "pro-life" label over "pro-choice." Meanwhile, only 27 percent of voters identify as Republican, according to a February Washington Post-ABC News poll. Pro-lifers provide the swing votes that are so crucial to winning elections."
There are also many within the Republican party that would prefer not to have to deal with the abortion issue. The rise of the tea party movement with its emphasis on fiscal policy and its relative silence on social issues has given moderate Republicans cause to think they they can win without emphasizing the pro-life position. According to Mrs. Dannenfelser, this would be a grave mistake for the Republican party:
"Republicans too often treat the abortion issue like an eccentric aunt at Thanksgiving dinner -- if they ignore it, maybe it will go away. And lately, Republican heads have been turned by a new, flashy guest at the table -- the tea party movement, which has been attracting big crowds, high-profile speakers and money with its message of lower taxes and less government spending. Some party leaders sound as if they are counting on this new energy to deliver victory in November all by itself.
