Dear Friend, The Girl Scouts of America (GSUSA) has always been seen as a wonderful opportunity for young girls to engage with other girls and learn new skills that will help them throughout their lives. This may have been true 100 years ago when the organization was started, but GSUSA has moved away from that mission in favor of a leftist agenda, letting transgender “girls” sleep with biological girls at GSUSA camps and giving members a sense of superiority over their male c

Dear Friend, House Speaker Brian Bosma has declared himself to be the “most pro-life speaker in 40 years.” Despite what he likes to call himself, Bosma has a bad track record when it comes to ending abortion in Indiana. In fact, Bosma advises against it, stating instead “You guys ought to be focusing on the stuff that is really important.” For three years in a row, pro-life champion Rep. Curt Nisly authored the Protection at Conception bill, which would effectively end aborti

NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release January 8th, 2019 Contact: Hoosiers for Life [email protected] Rep. Curt Nisly Files Abortion Ban in Indiana INDIANAPOLIS- For the third year in a row, Rep. Curt Nisly has filed the“Protection at Conception Bill,” which treats the unborn like any other living individual. HB 1430 will make abortion illegal in Indiana and finally protect all unborn children from being murdered. Year after year, Rep. Nisly has proven to be a champion for p

Dear Friend of Life, “…in this world, nothing is certain, except death and taxes.” So said Benjamin Franklin. And it’s true. However, there are some outcomes which may not be as certain as death and taxes but we are still pretty sure they will happen. Take, for example, the behavior of living organisms. We can predict wolves will hunt, worms will squirm, and the sloth will eventually descend from its tree. Yes, some living things are extremely predictable. And one such crea

Dear Friend, Back in January, we shared the heartbreaking story of baby River, a baby born at 22 weeks gestation who was refused medical care and consequently passed away. When Andrew Miller brought his wife, Mackenzie, to Ball Memorial Hospital in pre-term labor, doctors and nurses said they would do nothing to try to save River once he was born based on his gestational age alone. Mackenzie was denied transport to a different hospital that would attempt to save her son. Bor

Dear Friend of Life, “We don’t trade lives.” This is the message an Indiana pastor is sharing on behalf of his pre-born neighbors. In a recent blog post, Pastor Derin Stidd of Aletheia Church recalls the line in the latest Avengers movie, Infinity Wars, noting how Steve Rogers (Captain America), refuses to sacrifice one person to save the rest. Pastor Derin writes: "...at a certain point Rogers and another character named Vision are trying to figure out a resolution to the b

Dear Friend of Life, One of the common excuses I hear for not saving babies is, “But the courts will never approve it.” This is not a valid reason for failing to act on Protection at Conception, and let me show you why. First, legislators need to do their jobs and protect life as they pledged to do during their campaigns. The legislature is a separate and distinct branch from the courts in our constitutional republic. When legislators use the courts as an excuse to not save

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

Indiana’s May 8th primary election is only days away! I know the end of the primary season can get sticky, and it can be challenging to wade through the pool of information in front of you with so many candidates looking for your support. When it comes to an unborn child’s God given right to live, all Republicans say the same thing: “I am pro-life.” But are they really? What choice will they make when they could end abortion in Indiana once and for all? Rep. Curt Nisly made

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

Dear Friend of LIFE, Planned Parenthood doesn’t usually like Republicans, but there is at least one member of the GOP who recently earned their praise—Rep. Ben Smaltz. Smaltz earned a public thank you from the abortion giant for his actions against the unborn. After Ben Smaltz killed a bill to end abortion in the committee he chairs, Planned Parenthood took to Facebook to urge cheers for Smaltz. Killing bills to end abortion seems to be a pattern for the House District 52 inc

Dear Friend of LIFE, With only three weeks left before the May 8th election, it’s prime time for candidates to look good for the cameras and attend a pancake breakfast or ride along with a snow plow driver to convince you they are the best man or woman for the job. While some Indiana residents only care about what fundraising dinner their candidate attended, many others care about their 8,000 pre-born neighbors who will die at Indiana abortion clinics this year and what, if a

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

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,

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

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

WANTED: Smaltz Survey Dear Friend, I could use your help. I’ve searched high and low and double-checked my mailbox, but Rep. Ben Smaltz’s survey is nowhere to be found! Since I’ve been keeping careful track of incoming surveys, I know I didn’t lose it. SMALTZ HASN’T SENT IT IN! This is concerning. I mean, the guy says he is pro-life, so he should be happy to fill out a list of questions asking how he intends to protect innocent pre-born babies. I know you’ve been calling you

Exposing Frauds in the Statehouse Dear Friend, Anytime now, your Indiana State Representatives and Senators will open their mai lboxes to find an important piece of mail, one in which you, the pro-life voter, will take great interest. Hoosiers for Life is mailing a survey to Indiana legislators, asking them where they stand on the issue of LIFE and the Protection at Conception bill. After all, voters have a right to know whether or not their elected officials intend to end t

BREAKING:  Ben Smaltz Earns Primary Challenger For the second year in a row, Rep. Ben Smaltz of Auburn killed a bill that would have ended abortion in Indiana, costing nearly 8,000 pre-born Hoosier babies their lives this year alone. His decision to side with Planned Parenthood in keeping abortion safe has caused people to sit up and take notice of his activities. Ben Smaltz has a challenger in the Republican primary election. William Carlin of Garrett has filed to run for st

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
