Indiana Republican Party Feels Pressure on Life Issue
Dear Friend of LIFE, Indiana Republican officials are feeling the pressure from voters who demand an end to the slaughter of 22 Hoosier babies to abortion every single day. One clear sign of this is the language in the Indiana Republican Party platform. For 2018, the platform has added language to “affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.” My friend, this is your doing. This change in language by Indiana Republicans is a result

Jeremiah's Dying Wish
Dear Friend of LIFE, Sixteen year old Jeremiah Thomas had just one wish. He could’ve visited Disney World. He could’ve met his favorite sports star or his favorite band. But Jeremiah wanted to leave a legacy. And so, when the Make a Wish Foundation offered Jeremiah a wish, do you know what this teenager battling bone cancer said? He said his wish is to end abortion in his home state of Texas. It is not something a typical teenager would choose, but Jeremiah Thomas is anythi

Amy Schlichter Executive Director Hoosiers for Life Abortion is Murder On April 20, I went to an abortion clinic to help save babies for the first time. When we got there, we talked to some of the sidewalk counselors, but then a young woman pulled in the parking lot. The security guard walked to her car and started walking her in while we were pleading with her to save her

Our high school essay contest winner is Hally Sweet! Congratulations Hally! You can read Hally's entire essay below. Amy Schlichter Executive Director Hoosiers for Life All life is important from the time of conception. No exceptions. Some might try to argue otherwise, but I hope to show you why no excuse is good enough to slaughter a baby. Proverbs 6:16-19 says, “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands t

Your Voice Was Heard!
Dear Friend,
Making our voices heard to our elected officials is an important step in securing an unborn baby’s God-given right to live. In last week’s primary election, pro-lifers in Indiana did just that. Elections, of course, are where politicians are forced to seek the “consent of the governed” in the United States.
In fact, for this very reason, most elected officials hate contested elections. And they especially hate having opposition in a primary.
This makes elec

Who Pledges to Protect LIFE?
Dear Friend of LIFE, The May 8th Indiana primary election is just one week away and Hoosiers across the state have been contacting me to find out where candidates in their area stand on an unborn baby’s fundamental right to live. We all know there’s a grave difference between those politicians who talk the pro-life talk during election season but walk the pro-abort walk during the legislative session. Some of these fake “pro-lifers” will even go so far as to protest Planned P

Campaign Rhetoric is Out...Are you Falling for it?
Dear Friend of Life, We are just shy of a month away from the May 8th Indiana primary elections, and Republican candidates across the state are working hard to convince you they are what you need in Indy. They hope you’ll believe their campaign rhetoric long enough to earn your support, but oftentimes their language changes from election season to legislative session. For example, it is election season now and Representative Ben Smaltz is currently campaigning as a pro-lifer

The Grassroots are Growing
Dear Friend, The May 8th Indiana Primary election is just 35 days away, and Indiana residents sure are interested in candidates’ positions on LIFE. Last week, I sent you a link where you could find out how folks running for office in your area answered the Hoosiers for Life Candidate Survey. I am getting loads of requests from Hoosiers wanting to know if their candidate pledged to support Rep. Curt Nisly’s Protection at Conception bill, a bill which would end abortion in Ind

"Pro-life" Republicans Dodge Pro-life Survey
Hi Friends! This week has been full of excitement! Lots of completed candidate surveys landed on my desk, and I am thrilled! Many candidates pledged to support the Protection at Conception bill next year, and I am blown away by their responses. Rep. Curt Nisly’s Protection at Conception bill is the strongest piece of pro-life legislation ever filed in the state of Indiana--it would eradicate abortion once and for all. And support for it is growing. While that is great news,

T-Shirt Contest: Find Smaltz's Survey to Win!
Where in the World is Ben Smaltz’s Survey? Republican politicians have a habit that is plain to see. They are “very pro-life” conservatives during campaign season, but once the legislative session rolls around, they behave more like pro-abort liberals. I’ve had enough of “pro-life” chameleons like Rep. Ben Smaltz slipping into the Statehouse on a pro-life ticket and then morphing into Planned Parenthood’s champion. We need to hold our legislators’ feet to the fire and ensure

Nikki's Story
After hearing Nikki’s story, I knew I had to share it with you. Ending abortion is not only the most loving thing we can do for our pre-born neighbors, but it is also the most loving thing we can do for their mothers. Oh how I wish ending her child’s life was not a legal choice for Nikki! And Nikki does too. She wrote her story down, and with her permission, here it is. Let’s keep fighting for all Hoosier babies, until all human life is protected at conception. Amy Schlicht

Hoosiers for Life Surveys Smaltz Challenger
After months of bad news for District 52, learning their “pro-life” legislator had zero intention of ending abortion, I have some exciting news for our friends in the northern Indiana House district. Hoosiers for Life recently surveyed William Carlin, challenger to Rep. Ben Smaltz, and I am pleased to announce Carlin has filled out the pro-life survey to our satisfaction. Ben Smaltz, on the other hand, believes murdering pre-born children is a constitutional right. Smaltz has

Doomsday for Hoosier Babies
Dear Friend, Tomorrow is doomsday for Hoosier babies. Today is their last chance. “Pro-life” Rep. Ben Smaltz is holding fast to his stance of keeping abortion safe and legal, just like Planned Parenthood. Smaltz told the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette he would not hear the Protection at Conception bill because it should be legal to murder rape conceived children. Furthermore, he believes ending abortion would be “catastrophic to the cause.” Ending abortion most certainly would be

Smaltz to Consider HB 1097—Maybe.
Reports from yesterday’s March for Life indicate Public Policy Chairman, Ben Smaltz, may be considering a hearing for HB 1097. Up until now, Smaltz, has refused to hear the bill and rejected all meeting requests from Hoosiers for Life. However, when approached by another supporter of the Protection at Conception bill yesterday, Smaltz said he met with Rep. Curt Nisly last week to discuss the bill and will be meeting with him again this week to discuss the possibility of a hea
