Friends for Life, The Indiana Legislature will move along as normal today. Officials will gather at the Statehouse to discuss what they feel are the most pressing issues and supposedly represent every single one of you. So far this session, lawmakers have discussed topics from one end of the spectrum to the next, focusing on what they think is “really important.” Yes, it’s a normal day for Indiana Republicans. But their voters see today differently. Voters from every end of

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

Dear Friend, For 45 years now, Indiana law has allowed a loophole for murder—abortion. Murder is illegal UNLESS the victim resides within her mother.  If that’s the case, then you can kill her and get away with it. Do you know what happened today because of this loophole? Planned Parenthood “counseled” women on how to best kill their babies. Indiana University trained doctors how to vacuum babies out of their mothers’ wombs. Twenty pre-born boys and girls dodged instruments i

Dear Friend, Rep. Ben Smaltz had the opportunity to schedule a hearing for THIS MORNING on Curt Nisly’s Life bill, but he squandered his chance once again. Rep. Curt Nisly’s Protection at Conception bill, HB 1097, has been sitting on Smaltz’s desk for almost two weeks, and yet, he hasn’t added “saving babies” to his list of things to do. According to Vice Chair of Public Policy, Rep. Timothy Wesco, “legislators are prioritizing important issues this year.” So what exactly is

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

Dear Friend, State Rep. Tim Wesco is using one sad excuse after another for refusing to support Rep. Curt Nisly’s HB 1097, the strongest anti-abortion bill in Indiana. Rep. Wesco claims HB 1097 would hamper years of regulation, but he misses the point. Once something is illegal, you don’t regulate it. Rep. Wesco also claims courts will tamper with the new law, painting a picture of Indiana abortion facilities ramping up murders if HB 1097 is passed, killing kids throughout al

Dear Friend, “Pro-life” Republicans at the Indiana Statehouse have come up with SO MANY reasons to keep abortion safe and legal this past week. Can you believe the Vice Chair of Public Policy, pastor Timothy Wesco actually said it would be detrimental to the pro-life cause if abortion were ended in our state?! A bill to provide protection at conception for ALL pre-born babies, HB 1097, sits on the desk of Public Policy chairman, Ben Smaltz, and instead of championing for the

Dear Friend, The bill lives! After diligent pressure from Hoosiers for Life and hundreds of phone calls, emails, and messages, House Speaker Brian Bosma released his hostage bill, HB 1097, to the Public Policy committee. It was like pulling teeth to get this guy to do what we wanted him to do and get the bill into committee, but he finally caved to voters’ demands. Although he didn’t outright kill the bill, Bosma may still be planning for its demise. Bosma pulled this stunt
