 Why
John McCain Must Win!
It’s been eight years since pro-abortion forces have had a president who would do their deadly
bidding. They are chomping at the bit to see Barack Obama in the Oval Office because they
know he truly would be the most pro-abortion president ever elected - worse even than Bill
Clinton.
John McCain, who has been endorsed by the Wisconsin Right to Life Political
Action Committee, said, “the noblest words ever written” were “the inalienable
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” McCain said that he
strongly and adamantly believes those words apply to unborn children.
McCain’s stellar 25-year right-to-life voting record in defense of unborn
children attests to his strong desire to protect them. McCain has often discussed
the stark contrast between himself and Obama, citing Obama’s support for
partial-birth abortion and Obama’s votes as an Illinois state senator to
ensure that even babies who survive abortion attempts would have no protection.
Shockingly, Obama’s anti-life fervor extends even beyond abortion into infanticide!
Judicial appointments are of the utmost importance. John McCain understands
the crucial role the judiciary plays and has said, “I will look for people
in the cast of John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and my friend the late William
Rehnquist.”
Obama has very different ideas on judicial nominations and would
only nominate individuals who would vote for the continuation of abortion-on-demand.
Obama has been endorsed by the National Abortion Rights Action League, Planned
Parenthood and the pro-abortion PAC, Emily’s List. They all know that Obama
would be our nation’s most abortion president to date. For the sake of the
right to life of unborn children, John McCain must win!

Don't Let Pro-Abortion Zealots Take Control
of the State Legislature
Disaster is only a few Assembly seats away! Our State Senate
is already in the hands of a radically pro-abortion leadership
and the Assembly’s right-to-life majority hangs by a thread.
The pro-abortion movement has only to defeat a few right-tolife
Assembly representatives in order to take complete control
of both houses of the legislature. And if even one right-to-life
state senator is defeated, the situation will become even more
grave. Here’s what you can expect to happen if pro-abortion
forces take control of the legislature:
- Taxpayer funding of abortion
- Repeal of Wisconsin’s abortion ban that would shut down
Wisconsin’s abortion clinics when Roe v. Wade is overturned
- The undoing of life-saving laws such as parental consent prior to a minor's
abortion
- Forcing doctors and hospitals to perform abortions
- and who knows what else!
DON’T LET THE LEGISLATURE FALL UNDER THE CONTROL
OF PRO-ABORTION FORCES!

Wisconsin 2007 Abortions Fall a Dramatic 14%
In the biggest annual decrease in a decade, Wisconsin abortions fell 14%
in 2007 compared to 2006. The number of 2007 abortions performed was 8,267
compared to 9,580 in the preceding year, a decrease of 1,313 abortions in
a single year.
With your help, Wisconsin Right to Life uses a multi-faceted
strategy aimed at reducing the number of abortions. The continued decline
year after year af rms the effectiveness of your support of our strategies.
A word of caution must be sounded, however. Planned Parenthood was forced
to close two of its abortion clinics in Milwaukee and Appleton for seven
months in 2007 due to having no one willing to perform abortions. That represented
closure of 40% of abortion clinics in Wisconsin. With the clinics reopened,
it is very possible that abortions will increase in 2008.
Nonetheless, circumstances should not in any way diminish the fact that
1,313 babies who might have been killed by abortion are alive today. The
2007 report, available from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family
Services, reveals that women 18-34 account for 81% of abortions performed.
African-American women continue to abort at the alarming rate of 24% while
Latino women acquire 9% of all abortions. Women who are not married obtain
88% of abortions, indicating that the absence of the father in the woman’s
life impacts her decision to abort.
Wisconsin’s abortion ratio, the number
of abortions per 100 live births, is now at 11, compared to the national
ratio of 24. Wisconsin’s abortion rate, the number of abortions per 1,000
women of childbearing age, now stands at 7 compared to the national rate
of 19.5.
Senator Barack Obama claims that he
is not pro-abortion. Yet, the unwelcome
change he wants to achieve on
abortion and infanticide if he were to
become president is as follows:
• Obama wants you to pay for all 1.2
million annual abortions with your tax
dollars – as many abortions as a woman
wants, for any reason, at any time during
pregnancy.
• Obama does not want parents noti ed if their minor daughter is seeking
an abortion. He voted to allow a stranger to accompany a minor across state
lines to have an abortion so that her parents would not nd out.
• Obama
told Planned Parenthood that his rst act as president would be to sign the
Freedom of Choice Act. This act would enshrine abortion on demand in federal
law and overturn almost all state laws which restrict abortion in any way
-- laws such as Wisconsin’s Woman’s Right to Know and Parental Consent laws.
• Obama wants partial-birth abortion to be available.
• Obama voted three times against a proposed Illinois law which would require
that babies who survive abortion attempts be given lifesaving medical treatment.
• Obama has a very simple requirement for nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court
– they must support continued abortion on demand.

Why the Right-to-Life is Worth Voting For.
Those who believe that abortion is the key issue which will determine who
they vote for are often criticized for being a narrow-minded “single-issue”
voter. Is the right-to-life worth voting for? A thousand times yes. Your right-to-life
values do matter, and if candidates don’t support yours, then abortion on demand
will continue unabated in our country. Here is why the right-to-life is worth
voting for:
• Over 50 million unborn American children have died a violent death from abortion since legalization in 1973. The
number is so staggering that it appears incomprehensible. Yet, the candidate you vote for can either allow this
slaughter to continue, or reverse this enormous destruction of human life.
• Abortion has a devastating impact on the mother, both physically and psychologically.
And, on the father, grandparents and all family members.
• Since 48% of abortions are repeats – meaning the woman has more than one
abortion – it is evident that abortion is being used as a means of birth
control.
• Modern technology through ultrasound and intrauterine photography
has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt what seven U.S. Supreme Court justices
said they could not determine in 1973 – that every unborn child is a unique
member of the human family from the time of fertilization.
• Acceptance of abortion has led to people justifying the killing of newborn
infants with disabilities, and of older people, those with disabilities,
and the terminally ill through assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Your right-to-life values do matter, and so does your vote. You can make a
huge difference in eradicating the worst human rights abuse in our history.
Exercise your vote wisely on September 9 and November 4. It is a powerful weapon
to be used in defense of human life.
