Oppose Regulations Because...

American Right To Life urges you to oppose every law that regulates the killing of unborn children including waiting periods, offers of anesthesia, and informed consent. Regardless of the intention, these laws backfire for many practical and moral reasons.

Legacy of Judas: Response to Bopp


The Legacy of Judas
National Right to Life

By Brian Rohrbough
President, American RTL

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot
went to the chief priests and said,
"What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?"
And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.
So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

In 1981, after president Ronald Reagan agreed he would sign federal personhood legislation for the unborn, National Right to Life and their longtime attorney James Bopp actually opposed that effort claiming they supported a states' rights approach. Move forward in time a quarter century to today. Notice that NRTL and Bopp have long opposed all state personhood efforts. Demonstrated below, NRTL has continuously promoted legislation that undermines the personhood of an innocent child.  In betrayal, NRTL quietly worked to oppose Colorado's 2008 and South Dakota's 2006 abortion ban referendums.  Now, like a thief in the night they are circulating a recent Bopp memo to pro-life legislators and religious organizations to oppose personhood efforts in Colorado and elsewhere. NRTL is attempting to turn pro-life officials against this legitimate effort to end abortion and enforce the God-given right to life.

A stalwart authority of the pro-life movement, Dr. Charles Rice of Notre Dame, accurately reports that not one of the U.S. Supreme Court justices, which includes those supported by NRTL, has ever affirmed personhood and the right to life for the unborn. ...

Unborn Personhood on Colorado Ballot

American RTL Elated at Historic Development 

DENVER, May 29 -- "For the first time in forty years of 'legalized' child killing, pro-lifers have moved an entire state to consider the God-given right to life of the unborn," said Brian Rohrbough, president of American RTL. "We thank sponsor Kristi Burton of Colorado for Equal Rights, the 500 participating churches, and Colorado RTL for getting personhood on the November ballot."

Today the Colorado Secretary of State's office validated 103,000 signatures on human life petitions, 27,000 more than required to force a statewide vote. If passed, the Colorado constitution would define 'person' as "any human being from the moment of fertilization."

"Abortion is wrong because it's a baby; it's always wrong to intentionally kill a baby," said Rohrbough, "even when its father is a criminal, as with incest."

American RTL has launched its Colorado personhood campaign with a rebuttal to the so-called 'hard cases' of abortion for incest...

PBA Summary: Saves none, wasted years

Dozens of pro-life leaders (see their names below) have condemned Gonzales v. Carhart, the U.S. Supreme Court's brutally-wicked ruling upholding the partial-birth abortion "ban." Brace yourself for American RTL's summary of the PBA fiasco:

prolife profile: George W. Bush

Contrary to popular claims George W. Bush has had a major pro-abortion influence

* By his so-called "exceptions" while in office Bush directly supported killing 111,801 kids
* Opposed South Dakota's 2006 total ban telling ABC he supports killing some kids
* In 2008 South Dakota added "exceptions" yet Bush still failed to support it
* Terri Schiavo was starved by Republican judges nominated by Reagan, Bush I and Bush II
* Kept his first campaign promise, 'no litmus test' by nominating many pro-choice judges...

Nat'l RTL Advocates Evil Research on Tiny Kids

Once again attorney James Bopp and National Right to Life work against the protection of the preborn. James Bopp thankfully failed when he and NRTL tried to stop an amendment to the RNC Platform that advocates protecting all children from the first moment of their lives. Bopp wickedly testified: "It may very well be in our future that there is therapeutic research that can be done on human embryos, and there is nothing unethical immoral, improper or ... that disregards the sanctity of life if we are involved in therapeutic research." Here is the story from American Life League...

President Obama to Press Reset Button

Freedom of Choice Act to Kill Faulty Pro-life Strategy

DENVER, Jan. 20 -- President Barack Obama promised Planned Parenthood that, "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA). If he keeps this promise, American Right To Life president Brian Rohrbough said, "President Obama will press the reset button on the pro-life movement and reverse decades of legislation, regulations not built on the firm foundation of personhood, but misguided laws built on sand shifting in the political wind." Catholic Bishops are warning that FOCA would...
