*  prohibits public educational  institutions from performing abortions,

           * calls for the cremation or burial of aborted babies,

           * forbids abortions on the basis of genetic abnormalities like Down Syndrome, and clarifies that abortion-inducing drugs may not be sent through the mail.

For these reasons SB-1457 will help mothers and their unborn babies, while saving lives; thus the pro-life community is appreciative of Senator Nancy Barto for sponsoring this bill and all of the elected officials who voted in support!

Other pro-life victories this year included SB-1264 (sponsored by Senator Barto) which will better promote adoptions to women otherwise seeking abortion and HB-2410 (sponsored by Representative Diego Espinoza) which expands 

Arizona’s Safe Haven Law for newborn babies from 3 days to 30 days. (Excerpts taken from ACC 2021 Legislative Wrap-Up)

Please keep all our elected officials in prayer for their AWESOME pro-life accomplishments this past legislative session!

America has been abundantly blessed, however,  it is becoming more and more apparent, of the day to day erosion, of our nation’s founding principles;  the sanctity of all human life, marriage and family values.  Demonic forces are clearly at play in this current environment necessitating an urgent call to relentless prayer and sacrifice by “we the people” for our beloved Country!

   “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord”  (Psalms 33:12,  ESV)

As we prepare to celebrate the 245^th Birthday of our great Nation on this 4^th of July, let us thank God for the gift of freedom; may we never take our

freedom for granted, eternally grateful for those who gave their lives for the freedom of the Republic in which we live today “One Nation Under God”

“Prayer for the Fourth of July”

Eternal God, stir thou our minds and stimulate our hearts with the high sense of patriotism  as we approach the Fourth of July.  May all that this day symbolizes renew our faith in freedom, our devotion to democracy and redouble our efforts to keep our government of the people, by the people and for the people, truly alive in our world.

Grant that we may highly resolve on this great day to dedicate ourselves anew to the task of ushering in an era when good will shall live in the hearts of a free people, justice shall be the light to guide their feet and peace shall be the goal of humankind: to the glory of thy holy name and the good of our nation and all of mankind.   Amen          (Offered by Chaplain, Reverend Edward G. Latch, July 3, 1974)

House Democrats today passed the Equality Act, a misnamed bill that would create a so-called “right” to kill babies in abortions and force Americans to fund them. Voting 224-206, largely along party lines, the House of Representatives today approved H.R. 5, the Equality Act, over the objections of pro-life groups that said the legislation would be exploited to promote abortions.

The Equality Act contains language that could be construed to create a right to demand abortion from health care providers, and likely would place at risk the authority of the government to prohibit taxpayer-funded abortions.

“The very name of this legislation, ‘Equality Act,’ is an oxymoron,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.  “There is nothing equal about treating as second-class citizens health care practitioners who oppose abortion. Under the Equality Act, the unborn child will be the loser.”

The Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by defining “sex” to include “pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.”  It is well established that abortion is considered a “related medical condition.” H.R. 5 expands the anti-discrimination provisions in the bill by stating that “pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition shall not receive less favorable treatment than other physical conditions,” and would add “establishments that provide health care” to the list of covered “public accommodations.”

The pro-abortion National Partnership for Women and Families states, “Women would also be able to challenge denials of reproductive health care.”

“If enacted, H.R. 5 would open the door for widespread litigation wherein any attempt to restrict abortion, including the funding of abortion, would constitute discrimination,” said Jennifer Popik, J.D., director of federal legislation for the National Right to Life Committee.

She told LifeNews.com that provisions in H.R. 5 would apply to individual health care providers who object to abortion, including those with religious objections. The bill explicitly overrides the protections that are contained in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

“Forcing health care providers to perform abortions in violation of their conscience rights clearly violates the Constitution,” said NRLC President Carol Tobias. “But pro-abortion forces and their allies in Congress are more concerned about expanding access to abortion.”

The nation’s Catholic bishops also opposed the bill over its abortion promotion provisions and the five leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops sent a letter to federal lawmakers on Tuesday outlining their opposition to the bill.

“Rather than affirm human dignity in ways that meaningfully exceed existing practical protections, the Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith,” the bishops said. “It would also inflict numerous legal and social harms on Americans of any faith or none.”

The bishops’ opposition and that of many other pro-life, conservative and religious leaders comes in reaction to President Joe Biden’s and Democrat leaders’ plans to push the pro-abortion bill through Congress.  On the surface, the goal of the Equality Act (House Resolution 5) supposedly is to protect people from discrimination. It would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to redefine sex discrimination to include gender identity and sexual orientation.

But leading pro-life and conservative groups warned that the legislation would create a “right to demand an abortion.” They said medical workers could be forced to help abort unborn babies and taxpayers could be forced to fund their deaths.

The bishops said the legislation includes “an abortion mandate, a violation of precious rights to life and conscience.”

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins also condemned passage of the measure.  He told LifeNews: “The Equality Act is repression masquerading as justice. It essentially takes every issue the Left feels is a sacred cow and wraps it into one bill — a legislative right to abortion on demand, special privileges for sexual orientation and gender identity, and the abolition of religious freedom.”
