Mar 25, 2013 Sen. Kay Hagan Votes against Protecting Conscience, Parental Rights “Not only did Senator Hagan fail to represent her constituents, but by opposing CIANA she supports the subversion of North Carolina’s own parental consent legislation aimed at protecting young women and building parental rights.

We urge all Senators to stand with their constituents and defy the pro-abortion lobby in supporting these sensible amendments.” -- Marjorie Dannenfelser Read More
Mar 18, 2013 SBA List: Report Shows GOP Failed to Learn from Last Election “In the last election, Republican candidates failed to properly engage on the pro-life issue and this latest report shows they have failed to learn from it. Rather than seeking to grow and mobilize the energetic pro-life majority, the GOP has allowed itself to operate solely on the defensive. Social issues are keys to reaching certain minorities the GOP yearns to attract, as well as to motivate millions of voters who first gravitated to the party as Reagan Democrats." -- Marjorie Dannenfelser Read More
Mar 14, 2013 CPAC Panel to Address Contrasting Comments from Marco Rubio, Dick Morris on the Pro-life Issue “Today Dick Morris and Senator Marco Rubio gave two different accounts of the importance of the right to life issue and where it fits within the conservative coalition.

Mar 13, 2013 Lozier Institute Calls for Permanent, Expanded Adoption Tax Credits “Adoption provides a stable home for children in need and also relieves taxpayers of the burden of costs associated when parenting roles fall to the state. The many states that do not currently provide for an adoption tax credit or deduction could reduce public expenditures substantially by doing more to encourage adoption. This is a commonsense solution that would ease the difficulty of good-hearted parents seeking to expand their families through adoption.” -- Chuck Donovan, President of the Lozier Institute Read More

Diane Black Introduces Legislation to Protect Conscience “On behalf of all Americans of conscience, we applaud Representative Black for her bold leadership in defense of our most basic freedoms,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “The so-called accommodations recently announced to the HHS Mandate do nothing to address the concerns of non-religious entities and employers who do not wish to be complicit in the destruction of life through abortion-inducing drugs. Congress must act immediately to pass the Health Care Conscience Rights Act and ensure the conscience rights of all Americans are protected.” Read More
