DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR STATE SENATE DISTRICT 49
(Jane Earll's current job)

JOHN HARKINS   "PRO-LIFE" Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC Rating
In a conversation with People for Life Director Tim Broderick, the candidate indicated that he supports legal protection for unborn children. He returned the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation's candidate questionnaire and gave pro-life responses to all questions. Harkin's position is listed as "unknown" by Planned Parenthood. He is rated "pro-life" by the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC.

BRIAN PITZER   "PRO-ABORTION" Planned Parenthood Rating
In a conversation with Tim Broderick, indicated no inclination to support legislation to protect unborn children and no inclination to oppose government funding of abortion. No response to the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC questionnaire was received. According to the "Pennsylvania Progressive Voters Guide," Pitzer is endorsed by the Pennsylvania National Organization for Women PAC. According to its website: "The PA NOW PAC has two levels of approval for candidates. 'Endorsement' is the highest level of endorsement and is given only to those candidates who support all of our issues and will take a leadership position on those issues if elected." This would include full support for legal abortion on demand. Pitzer is also rated "PRO-ABORTION" by Planned Parenthood.

TERRY SCUTELLA   "PRO-ABORTION" Planned Parenthood Rating
In a conversation with Tim Broderick, Scutella when asked his position on legal abortion immediately and rather emphatically described himself as "pro-choice." Asked if he would support some regulation of abortion, he expressed adamant opposition to the Women's Right to Know Act. The Act would allow Pennsylvania women the right to see the ultrasound image of her unborn child before having an abortion. Asked about modest regulations currently in effect under Pennsylvania's Abortion Control Act, he was ambivalent. No response to the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC questionnaire was received. Scutella is rated "PRO-ABORTION" by Planned Parenthood.

SEAN WILEY   "PRO-ABORTION" & "ENDORSED" Planned Parenthood Rating
The candidate did not respond to our message sent via his campaign's Facebook page and did not respond to an inquiry made in a face to face conversation with his campaign manager. No response to the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC questionnaire was received. When a friend of People for Life spoke with Wiley's wife, she described his position as "pro-life," noting that they have several children. Asked about his position on legal abortion, she demurred, saying that this was a complicated subject. Wiley is rated "PRO-ABORTION" and designated as THE ENDORSED CANDIDATE by Planned Parenthood.

The position of the only republican candidate, Janet Anderson, remains unknown. We made several requests for an interview but only received a tentative response. Although we sent the candidate a second copy of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC questionnaire, no response to the questionnaire was received. The candidate's unresponsiveness might be explained by the fact that she is uncontested in the primary. Anderson's position is listed as "unknown" by Planned Parenthood.

Presidential Candidate Comparison
from National Right to Life
Updated March 27, 2012


A special message from the President of the United States to the nation's biggest abortion provider
Obama must have missed the memo: NO Planned Parenthood location provides mammograms.
Planned Parenthood DOES, however, carry out over 360,000 abortion-killings a year.
Note: Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid, not "republicans," actually threatened to shut down the government -- if funding for Planned Parenthood was cut.


Planned Parenthood lies about their "women's health services" to get your tax dollars.
(NO Planned Parenthood outlet in the United States of America provides mammograms.)

Call and e-mail your Members of Congress and tell them:
NO government funding for Planned Parenthood!

Also see: Expose Planned Parenthood and Live Action Films.




You may or may not be surprised by this quick look into the
Planned Parenthood / Pro-Choice culture.
Planned Parenthood wants you to believe that abortion is a negligible part of its mission, but Planned Parenthood's biggest supporters seem to have a different impression.

Call and e-mail your Members of Congress and tell them:
NO government funding for Planned Parenthood!

The Fig Leaf That Fell Off
President Obama's "pro-life" executive order couldn't save the "Stupak Democrats"
... of special interest to residents of Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District
By Dr. Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science, Grove City College
Posted with permission from The Catholic World Report.

The Obama Health Care Law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), subsidizes abortion-on-demand.

BACKGROUND DOCUMENTATION
Most of the following documents are in PDF format and may take several moments to load.

Affidavit of Americans United for Life President and CEO Charmaine Yoest
Americans United for Life (AUL) has prepared a sworn affidavit, dated on October 18, 2010, demonstrating that the Obama health care law provides federal subsidies for elective abortion.

Affidavit of National Right to Life Committee Legislative Director Douglas Johnson
The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) has produced a sworn affidavit, submitted on October 12, 2010 to the Ohio Elections Commission along with 16 supporting documents, demonstrating that the Obama health care law provides federal subsidies for elective abortion.

Analysis by the USCCB

Legal analysis by the USCCB Office of the General Council

Protect Life Act
Cosponsored by 124 Members of Congress as of September 30, 2010 (not including Kathy Dahlkemper), the bill identifies serious abortion-related flaws in the PPACA and provides the necessary corrections.

Analysis by the Congressional Research Service
This document illustrates that neither the PPACA itself nor the executive order promulgated by President Obama prevent all direct federal payments for abortion.

Executive Order 13535 - Ensuring Enforcement and Implementation of Abortion Restrictions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Unfortunately, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act contains no substantial abortion restrictions to ensure "enforcement or implementation of." Despite the lofty rhetoric, Obama's executive order only limits a tiny portion for the abortion-funding problem: federal payments to "community health centers."

Center for Reproductive Rights
"The executive order issued by the President on abortion only addressed rules for segregating funds for abortion coverage in the healthcare exchanges and limits on community health centers." (emphasis added)

March 20, 2010 Letter from Robert A. Desrto, Professor at Law, Catholic University of America
This letter helps explain why President Obama's executive order is expected to be litigated and ruled illegal.

Who's Lying?
Kathy Dahlkemper says that pro-life organizations are lying for political purposes. Did she not establish that all of the nation's major pro-life organizations are LIARS when she argued correctly that money appropriated by the PPACA for the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans will NOT pay for abortions?

Caution: Some pictures contain very disturbing images of abortion.


People for Life opposes all acts of violence. Violence directed against abortion facilities amounts to terrorism and deserves unequivocal condemnation. Such terrorism is an affront to the sanctity of human life and an affront to the rule of law, without which we can never hope to achieve a just--or maintain a free--society.

PRO-CHOICE VANDALISM

On Thursday, May 1, 2008, a peaceful Cemetery of the Innocents display at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point (UWSP) was vandalized in broad daylight and in defiance of campus security officers by a Student Senator, Roderick King. SEE THE VIDEO.

Those who deny others the right to life itself are not infrequently zealous to deny others the right to the freedom of speech.


PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION
"The Court finds that the testimony at trial and before Congress establishes that D&X [partial-birth abortion] is a gruesome, brutal, barbaric, and uncivilized medical procedure . . . [and finds] credible evidence that D&X abortions subject fetuses to severe pain." -- U.S. District Judge Richard Casey, New York
