Right-to-Life Funding Sluggish
Please put this emergency need from Father Pavone and the Priest for Life. By giving a little from many works, this is the way the President-elect was elected. Let's use a plan from his book.

Dear Friend,
Since it’s almost Christmas, I’m going to get right to the point.
To be blunt, it’s critically important that you take action right now because come January 20 and the inauguration of Barack Obama as President, the abortion industry will come after the unborn – and Priests for Life as well – with a vengeance.
I’ve sent you this urgent email because Priests for Life is all but tapped out and I’m begging you to make a special “End of Year” contribution to help us replenish our depleted cash supply so that we can continue to lead the pro-life movement’s all-out fight to defend the innocent unborn!
For that to happen it’s critical you click here and follow the instructions!
Your immediate help is especially needed because those in the mainstream news media who support abortion will bombard our fellow Americans with false reports that the election of Obama is a sign that America has “moved beyond abortion” ... or “gotten over its fixation on the fetus” ... and is now willing to accept abortion-on-demand as the law of the land.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
In fact, a recent poll conducted by the Marist College Institute of Public Opinion shows that only eight percent of Americans support the extremist abortion policy of Roe v Wade, namely, that a woman has the legal right to kill her unborn child for any reason and throughout all nine months of pregnancy.
That means that 92% of our fellow Americans want abortion restricted in some way. And of those:
· 32 percent say abortion should only be allowed in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
· 15 percent say only to save the life of the mother.
· And the remaining 13 percent believe as you and I do; namely, that abortion should never be permitted under any circumstance.
Even more telling, the Marist study found that even among those who call themselves “pro-choice,” only 15 percent favor unrestricted abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy ... which is what Roe v Wade currently allows.
This tells you that just as the 2006 election was a referendum on the war in Iraq, so the 2008 was a referendum on the economy. It had nothing to do with your pro-life values. Bottom line:
Thanks to the sacrifices which you and others like you have made ...
... America continues to move in a pro-life direction!
Our job, then, as I told you a few days ago when I asked you to make a commitment to support Priests for Life throughout the coming battle ...
... is to make our fellow Americans aware of the fact that abortion corrupts our whole society and retards progress on all the other issues that concern them ... including the economy!
But you can bet that the heralds of the culture of death will make it as difficult for us to accomplish that mission as they possibly can.
I am convinced that once the abortion zealots take office, they will come after Priests for Life and do whatever they can to silence our voice.
I say that because that’s exactly what happened in the 1990s when Bill Clinton was President. Back then, Janet Reno and the Justice Department tried all kinds of maneuvers to stop pro-life groups.
I expect abortion extremists working in the Obama Administration to do the same now.
They will come after us and try to shut us down.
They will use laws passed during the early years of the Clinton Administration … such as FACE – the “Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances”. They will try to paint pro-life efforts as violent, and will attempt to find IRS violations.
Priests for Life needs to be at full strength if we are to beat back any and all attempts to shut us down!
Which is why it’s so vital that you click here and follow the instructions!
But the situation for the unborn and our pro-life movement gets worse.
While attacking Priests for Life and other pro-life organizations on that front, the abortionists will also work to get Congress to pass the diabolical “Freedom of Choice Act” ... FOCA. This is the most extreme piece of pro-abortion legislation. It goes far beyond Roe v Wade. It’s simply diabolical because, if passed, it would undo all your hard work and set back our entire pro-life movement.
Priests for Life needs to be at full strength if we are to defeat the drive to pass FOCA!
Again, that’s why you need to click here right now!
But there’s still more.
With Obama in the White House and pro-abortion zealots in control of the Senate, the abortion industry will pressure them to pack the Supreme Court and all federal courts with judges whose decisions will keep abortion-on-demand legal for generations to come.
Priests for Life needs to be at full strength so that we can lead the fight to oppose the confirmation of radical activist judges to the Supreme Court and other federal benches ...
... and why you need to click here!
Believe me when I tell you that those who support the killing of the innocent unborn take no prisoners! They do not compromise. They do not negotiate. They do not tolerate anything but blind acceptance of their anti-life agenda!
What’s more, they know that Priests for Life is the recognized leader of the pro-life movement.
Which means that in order for them to advance their extremist pro-abortion agenda ...
... they must first destroy Priests for Life and silence our voice!
No pro-life organization in America is more onerous to them than Priests for Life.
That said ...
Priests for Life needs to be at full strength if the unborn are to have a champion who will defend them and protect them from the coming persecution!
Please click here right now to help make that happen!
That’s where things stand and why I sent you this urgent email.
It is absolutely vital that you click here and rush Priests for Life the largest gift you can and help us replenish our depleted funds so that, come January 20, we will be able to:
1. Defend ourselves and other pro-life organizations from the attacks that are sure to come as the abortion industry seeks to destroy all those who stand in the way of their drive to make abortion-on-demand the law of the land for generations to come!
2. Aggressively recruit pro-life Americans to get actively involved in our fight to end abortion.
3. Activate the clergy – of all denominations – to speak out boldly against abortion and lead the people of life as we take to the streets and demand that children in the womb be protected in law.
4. Stand up to the powerful abortion lobby and oppose all pro-abortion legislation and all pro-abortion initiatives ... including the appointment of pro-abortion judges to the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
Those are our four top priorities right now.
But there’s no way Priests for Life can do any of that work without your immediate financial help today.
So please, before you hit the “delete” tab or do on to your next email ...
... click here and follow the instructions!
There is literally no time to lose. As I told you, our funds are tapped out. We spent every last nickel we had trying to convince our fellow Americans to heed the cry of the unborn and vote their pro-life principles.
Unfortunately, too few heard those pleas for help. They were too caught up in their own worries about the economy.
We will never win the fight to end abortion until we first convince enough of our fellow Americans that their futures rest on the future of the unborn.
Until the unalienable right to life for all Americans – born and unborn – is protected in law, our entire society will remain corrupt ... including the economy!
Fortunately, the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency has caused the scales to fall from many eyes.
I am absolutely certain that his election will spark a revival within our pro-life movement.
But in order to ignite that spark and turn it into an all-out pro-life wildfire ...
... Priests for Life must be at full strength – both spiritually and financially!
So hold nothing back. Click here to rush Priests for Life the largest contribution you can give at this critical time!
Now is the moment of truth for the unborn and our pro-life movement. Give of yourself like never before. God is watching. He wants to see how we react to adversity.
If we remain faithful to Him and to the children He created, He will deliver His enemies into our hands.
So let’s show Him the depth of our love for Him ... for His precious gift of life ... and for His innocent unborn babies!!! Remember: God is never outdone in generosity!!! So give without counting the cost. That’s the only way we will win the fight to end abortion.
Thank you for whatever help you can send today. And know that in thanksgiving for your support – both your prayers and your financial gift – I will remember you at each Mass that I offer; and so will our other priests: Fr. Quinn, Fr. Wilde, Fr. West, and Fr. Salomon. God bless you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life and Gospel of Life Ministries
P.S. I know you don’t support our work to defend the unborn for any selfish reason. But since Priests for Life is a non-profit organization, the contributions you make to our work are tax-deductible.
That being the case, I want you to know that this may be your last chance to send Priests for Life a gift and have it count toward your 2008 taxes. Again, I know that’s not why you give to our mission but I felt compelled to mention it to you just the same. In any case, the dollars you send today will be put to work immediately to uphold the unalienable right to life for all Americans – born and unborn.
For myself, I will not rest until we have won the fight to end abortion. And I willingly make that sacrifice because I know that you are making similar sacrifices. Having you beside me is a great comfort. Thank you for your faithfulness ... and I pray that God bless you now at Christmas and throughout the coming year.
NOTE: If you prefer to send a check, please make it out to Priests for Life and send it to us at PO Box 141172, Staten Island, NY 10314. If you have any questions, call us toll-free at 888-735-3448.
If you do not wish to receive any emails from us, let us know at unsubscribe@pr iestsforlife.org. However, unsubscribing will deprive you of some important and helpful information in the months to come, and therefore we strongly encourage you to stay on our list!

I hope that all the folks that voted for "change" take note of what Fr. Pavone has to say. The AOH supports Life movements and then certain organizations like the Pittsburgh Irish for Obama support what he is selling. Abortion is still the number 1 life issue as far as I'm concerned. When someone says they support the right of women to choose, consider the choices!
Bill:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "all the folks that voted for 'change'"? Do you mean those of us that voted for Barack Obama? I thought we were trying to keep politics out of this forum.
Chris
One of Obama's priorities is FOCA. I refrained from political remarks during the election but after reading Fr. Pavone's article to "not" comment would be negligent on my part. The election is over and done with and comments on the president elect's position on anything is fair game. I really feel that supporting Obama is in direct opposition to the Right to Life movement.
