South Dakota Pro-Lifers Face Off Against Planned Parenthood

The pro-life movement in South Dakota needs your help. In a moment, I’ll tell you how you can help, but first, please allow me to explain the situation in the state.

Abortion-rights advocates have gotten a measure on the November ballot that, if passed, would repeal the state law (HB 1215) forbidding all abortions, except those that would save the life of a mother. The ban, which hasn’t yet taken effect, will be activated if it passes the ballot initiative (even though it would likely would be challenged in the courts). The law states that individuals performing abortions would be fined $5,000 and be jailed for five years.

Here’s the key problem: Planned Parenthood is now pouring money into the state, in hopes of killing this legislation without having to go to court.

Dr. Allen Unruh, of the South Dakota pro-life organization Vote Yes for Life (www.voteyesforlife.com), tells me that Planned Parenthood panicked after HB 1215 was passed in both state houses and Gov. Mike Rounds signed it into law. The state house voted 50 to 18 in favor of the bill, while the state senate passed it 23 to 12.

Dr. Unruh says the organization is mounting an $8 million media blitz over the next two months. He tells me this is a major propaganda campaign to demonize and distort the language on the ban on abortion in South Dakota.

Pro-life leaders in the state are now trying to raise funds to counter Planned Parenthood’s campaign to defeat the law. They are now attempting to raise $4 million to offset Planned Parenthood’s campaign to radical political agenda.

That’s where I hope you will step in. I have told Dr. Unruh and his team that I will do my best to deliver thousands of people who will financially help to win this historic battle. We have to raise $4 million dollars — very quickly — in South Dakota to counter the propaganda Planned Parenthood will be putting on the airwaves prior to the November election.

Dr. Unruh and I believe that if there were ever a time when Christians need to invest in a pro-life effort, the time is now and the place is South Dakota. If the state wins this battle, other states could follow South Dakota’s lead in the future, also determining to outlaw abortion.

I am urging my friends across the country to give generously to this vital campaign.

What happens in South Dakota will literally affect the future of America.

1. Do I get a "Clinton Chronicles" video if I send money?

2. Oh brother...

$8 million in ads here from this group? I'm sure they will all be factual and dignified...


:sarcasm:

3. Moral Majority? Isn't that Ralph Reed's group, and we all know

that Ralph is neither moral, nor in the majority. And is Unruh a real name?

4. Unruh is a real name

Leslee Unruh is the campaign manager for Yes on 6. On the plus side, she is often incoherent when she opens her mouth. For example, this is a statement she made in the paper the other day:

"They can play with words and they can lie to South Dakota voters, then they can continue this lie and this abuse to women and the abuse is going to stop because the killing stops here."

So the abuse will continue and the abuse will stop. I'm not sure how that works, except in Leslee's muddles mind.

6. "Unruh" takes up about a fifth of the phone book where I live...

...along with Koehn and Goering.

But then I live in KS in the middle of German Mennonite country.... :rofl:

8. Isn't unruh "unrest?"

[SDDEM06]

5. Another example of why Aaron Sorkin is the best writer on TV

No, I know I'm alone on this. I know the vast majority of people consider Jerry Falwell a spiritual pillar of great and gentle wisdom. I know that most people consider him a scholarly and tolerant man who would never judge others harshly because they were different. I know that most people consider his leadership to be a gentle, soothing beacon in a time of great social chaos. His guidance, for instance, on the great purple Teletubby matter was fraught with the kind of theological sophistication that only Jerry Falwell and a cafeteria full of sixth-graders could devise. I know, I'm going way out on a limb, but I think Jerry Falwell's a fat-ass. Now, which of our viewers did I just offend?

7. I like comedian David Cross' observation:

Q: How does Jerry Falwell know the purple Teletubbie is gay?

A: Because that's the one he likes to watch while masturbating.
