Pro-Life and Elections

The Lesser of two evils – by Scott Lively

As you know, 40 Days for Life consists of three components: prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and community outreach. When we are physically present outside Planned Parenthood, we can; Inspire, Inform, and Comfort. Read more

There are approximately 16 abortion facilities in Massachusetts that are not licensed or inspected.
In 2007, Laura Hope Smith died during an abortion in a facility that was unlicensed. After her death, inspection showed that the facility lacked proper medical equipment and the staff did not have the necessary training. We don't know how many abortions are performed or the conditions in these facilities.
The Board of Health is required to inspect tanning facilities every six months. Shouldn't facilities performing risky surgical procedures also be inspected and safe?
To that end Massachusetts Citizens for Life, the state's oldest, largest, and most effective right-to-life organization, has proposed a local ballot initiative in several districts to raise public awareness of the problem and demand action.

Question Text:
SHALL THE STATE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THIS DISTRICT BE INSTRUCTED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES ALL NON-HOSPITAL FACILITIES PERFORMING MORE THAN 10 ABORTIONS A YEAR TO BE LICENSED AS "CLINICS" AND TO BE INSPECTED AT LEAST EVERY TWO YEARS BY THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH?
This public policy question is on the ballot in the following State House Districts:
3rd Worcester-Question #6
4th Worcester-Question #5
16th Worcester-Question #5
6th Bristol-Question #5
7th Bristol-Question #5
8th Bristol-Question #6 (Except New Bedford, Wd. 1 Pcts. D, E, & F-Question #6)
12th Hampden-Question #5 (Except Wilbraham-Question #7)
4th Norfolk-Question #5
5th Norfolk-Question #5 (Except Holbrook, Pct. 1-Question #6)
12th Norfolk-Question #5 (Except Walpole, Pcts. 1, 2, 6, & 7-Question #7)
5th Plymouth-Question #5

Prayer for Our Country, from Chaplains’ Service Book of Prayers
Almighty God, You have given us this great land as our heritage. We humbly pray that we may always remember Your generosity and faithfully do Your will. Bless our land with faithful leaders, honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Defend our liberties and strengthen the resolve of the people who have come from throughout the world to make American their home. Lead us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. Help us to appreciate the opportunities that are ours as we struggle to bring harmony to an unsettled world. May we balance our concern for justice with a willingness to display mercy, and may our concern for security be tempered with a willingness to take risks which will produce worthwhile change for the good of all people. O Lord, we pray for Your guidance as we work together for the best interest of our communities, our nation, our world, and the ultimate goal of peace, when times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful and in troubled times may our deepest trust be in You.
Amen.
