FaxNotes – May 15, 2003

Rep. Paul Introduces Three Pro-Life Bills – The following is a statement delivered in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 2, 2003, by Congressman Ron Paul, M.D.

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce three bills relating to abortion.

“First, the Freedom of Conscience Act of 2003 (H.R. 1548) prohibits any federal official from expending any federal funds for any population control or population planning program or any family planning activity. It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.

“Second, I rise to introduce the Partial-birth Abortion Funding Ban Act of 2003 (H.R. 1545). This bill prohibits federal officials from paying any federal funds to any individual or entity that performs partial-birth abortions. The taxpayer must not be forced to fund this barbaric procedure.

“Finally, my Life-Protecting Judicial Limitation Act of 2003 (H.R. 1546) provides that the inferior courts of the United States do not have jurisdiction to hear abortion-related cases. Congress must use the authority granted to it in Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution. The district courts of the United States, as well as the United States Court of Federal Claims, should not have the authority to hear these types of cases.

“Mr. Speaker, it is my hope that my colleagues will join me in support of these three bills. By following the Constitution and using the power granted to the Congress by this document, we can restore freedom of conscience and the sanctity of human life.” [emphasis added]

___________________________________

These bills are pro-active measures that, if enacted, would greatly reduce the power and influence of the abortion lobby in this country and at the same time reduce the number of abortions and abortion-related activities currently funded with our tax dollars.

Please insist that your Member of Congress support Congressman Paul’s efforts by co-sponsoring these three bills. Capitol Switchboard – 202/224-3121.

Rep. Ron Paul, M.D.(R-Tx) is a blessing on the house of Congress. Everything I have heard about Dr. Paul tells me he would be a blessing upon our nation as President in 2008.

Senate must have passed that tax cut bill.

Gloves are off, now.

[jmc813]

thoughts?

[anniegetyourgun]

All bills that should be passed tomorrow. And, of course, they probably will be passed in the house. The Senate is the problem.

[cpforlife.org]

Right!

3 BUMPS FOR R. PAUL.

So have the Republicans passed Ron Paul's bill to withdraw from the UN yet?

[muawiyah]

Ron Paul would do well to focus on the non-profit mailing privileges extended to abortion mills and their flaks.

[cpforlife.org]

"Gloves are off, now."

LOL - And time to put the brass knuckles on! The pro-abort demons in the senate need some serious disciplining!

Wonderful! Where are we now with the ban on Partial-Birth Abortion??? That should have made its way to the President's desk by now.

[Catspaw]

Does he have any co-sponsors?

[headsonpikes]

This can't be true.

Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians???

[Saundra Duffy]

Please add me to your ping list. Thank you.

[Ohioan]

Once again, Ron Paul steps up and promotes basic American values! Once more, he steps into the breach and reminds his colleagues of the Constitutional realities that most of the rest of them seem to ignore! (I have been trying to get Congress to limit the jurisdiction of the District Courts on a number of issues since I was in College.)

Thank you for posting this. The more publicity we can give to the tiny handful of real statesmen that remain at any level of Government in America, today, the better chance we have of seeing their numbers grow.

My EXPECTATION is that the ban on this hideous procedure pass in the House of Representatives very, very soon. It has passed the Senate, which was the question mark. If this doesn't get passed and signed by GWB before summer recess, face it, there will be a litany of excuses. It'll never be as good as it is right now for this to happen.

I would hope that no pro-lifers would give the administration a pass on this one. GWB has said he's pro-life. It's time to step to the plate and get this passed. Every day delay is more dead babies.

[Coleus]

GWB has said he's pro-life>>>

and appointed 6 pro-abortion Judges in NJ!!

It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent. Cosponsors: (none) Latest Major Action: 4/10/2003 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Health, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Chairman.

The lack of sponsors whow you just how left wing the US Congress really is when it comes to the slaughter of babies trapped in the womb, maybe if they could vote, more congressmen would care.

[Catspaw]

So out of three bills, he actually only has one sponsor? You'd think that members of the Liberty Committee, a committee he founded, would've signed on to Paul's bills.

[jmc813]

Would you have signed on to them?

[buffyt]

I know when he came to my Christmas party in Dec. 2001 he said we have the right to LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness... and the most important of those is the RIGHT TO LIFE! That would not allow abortion! Not abortion on demand for after the fact birth control.

[dcwusmc]

I would LOVE to sign onto them... BUMP for Ron Paul... President in 2004.

A thought from a recent past president of the
Federation of Americans waiting to be born:

"Abortion? I am all for it…
for “certain undesirable organizations”

"Abort N.O.W., NARAL, and Planned Parenthood!
Abort Roe v Wade and all “laws” that allow the
MURDER of my unborn friends!"

"Life is Sacred from the moment of conception!"

Paul has always been 100% pro-life.

"Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians???"

Well that's what "they" want folks to believe. In my book, Ron Paul is a true conservative.

[BillyBoy]

>> Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians??? <<

Not exactly. The Libertarins are, but that probably explains why he left the party and refuses any of their efforts to draft him in future campaigns. Also explains the platform of the LP candidate who runs AGAINST Ron every year (probably doesn't think Ron is "pure" enough for his tastes.

Ron's views on immigration are still way out there, however.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Isn't Ron Paul one of those baby-eating, crack-smoking, burro-molesting libertarians???

No. Ron Paul is one of those who would put the little "l" in conservative-libertarianism.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Rep. Ron Paul, M.D.(R-Tx) is a blessing on the house of Congress. Everything I have heard about Dr. Paul tells me he would be a blessing upon our nation as President in 2008.

I will be voting for the incumbent at that time, George W Bush.........and he will win.

2012...................Mr Paul has something to say. It's worth a listen.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Your thoughts..............

[He Rides A White Horse]

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce three bills relating to abortion.

“First, the Freedom of Conscience Act of 2003 (H.R. 1548) prohibits any federal official from expending any federal funds for any population control or population planning program or any family planning activity. It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.

There isn't anything I wouldn't support here.

It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.

Voting 'yes' here.

The taxpayer must not be forced to fund this barbaric procedure.

I'll vote 'yes' here also............

Mr Paul uses terms that show how he feels about such practices...........immoral and barbaric....certainly not vote disqualifying words to me.

[headsonpikes]

I was being facetious, of course.

Ron Paul has moral courage of the highest order.

[ohioWfan]

George W. Bush IS pro-life, which is why he is PP's "Public Enemy Number 1".

Good for Ron Paul in introducing these bills! Let's pray for swift passage of all of them.

[Wolfie]

That Libertarian nut-job? Be careful who your friends are.

[He Rides A White Horse]

I know you were.

[Coleus]

If he is pro life the why is he appointing pro-abortion judges in New Jersey, his actions point to the contrary.

[ohioWfan]

If he isn't pro-life why are unborn children safer and more valued now when he was elected?

If he isn't pro-life why is progress being made on all fronts to end abortions.

If he isn't pro-life why are all the pro-life organizations we support THRILLED by what he is doing?

If he isn't pro-life then why do the pro-abortion demons hate him so much?

Anyone who says this President, who has done more to return us to a culture of life than ANY President has (including Reagan), is NOT Pro-life, is willfully blind.

That would be you, Coleus.

[ohioWfan]

more valued now THAN when he was elected

[billbears]

Well of course!! Probably the only conservative out of the 400+ members of Congress too. I think this information needs to be passed to every 'conservative' that we know. Show them what it means to be a conservative. Rather than falling behind the latest administration's version of conservatism as some cheerleader.

Bump for the hope one day there can be more leaders like Ron Paul in office

[headsonpikes]

A real, honest-to-God conservative bump.

[Coleus]

Please stop insulting Reagan, the last Republican President.

Listen, I go by FACTS and not BLIND FAITH, you should be mad at W For lying to America. First he stated that Jesus Christ was his main Philosopher then on the night of the Republican Convention he stated he was pro life then as President he appointed to the Federal Judiciary SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX,

Pro-Abortion (Culture-of-Death) Judges....!!! in New Jersey...

A very poor record for a supposedly Pro life President. If I didn't know better I'd swear his name is Bill Clinton, since I can't tell by his judiciary appointments. Why on earth would you think he's pro life when he appoints baby killers to the bench in NJ????

That is not the Actions of a pro life president...Maybe for you it is...I don't see the logic of your thinking if a president appoints abortionists to the bench, he is considered PRO LIFE...

George W. Bush is more actively pro-life than Reagan was. Period.

That's the main reason the left hates him so much.

[Coleus]

The Left hates any republican....Nixon, Reagan, both Bush's, etc. It has nothing to do with his pro or anti life record. If Bush were "pro" life he wouldn't have appointed not 5 but 6 "Pro abortion" "baby killing" judges to the federal judiciary in New Jersey and allow any and all fetal stem cell research in the private sector and allow the existing "federally funded" fetal cell lines to continue.

I would call Bush a great president, a great leader, a tax cutter, a compassionate president, a hard worker, a man who restored dignity and honor to the Oval Office and US Military, and a man who passed the LARGEST federal budget (more than Clinton) in US history, but I would NEVER call him a PRO LIFE president. How could I?
