Urgent, Urgent, Urgent

Yesterday we sent you an email regarding the parental notification bill that would require an abortionist to alert parents before an abortion was performed on a minor child. This is a critical update.

Please forward this to all of your friends. Immediate action is required.

The U.S. Senate will conduct a do-or-die vote on one of the most important pro-life bills ever to come before the Congress — the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA) — as early as Friday, September 29.

All pro-life groups and citizens must immediately TELEPHONE the offices of their two U.S. senators to urge them to vote in "in favor of cloture on the parental notification bill, S. 403."

It is this simple: If a senator really believes that a parent should be notified before an abortion is performed on a minor, he or she will vote yes on S. 403, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act. If a senator wants abortionists to be able to perform abortions on girls of any age without knowledge of a parent, he or she will vote no, or skip the vote. Because of the procedural situation, an absence will have the same effect as a pro-abortion vote.
Sixty votes (out of 100 senators) will be required to send the bill to President Bush. This vote is winnable. But you must act immediately!

Take Action:
Call Your Senator

Because the vote may occur so soon, you must rely on PHONE CALLS to the Washington offices of senators. All Senate offices can be reached through the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121. Also, call the nearest IN-STATE offices of your two U.S. senators with the same message. The numbers of in-state offices or for specific Washington D.C. offices for each senator can be found by clicking here and entering your zipcode.

E-mails, faxes, and other modes of communication may not be counted until after the vote has already occurred! So please — TELEPHONE the D.C. and home-state offices of your senators!
