The U.S. House just passed TWO bills pushing abortion access to women in conservative states and protecting out-of-state abortion providers. These new bills (HR 8296 and HR 8297) are heading to the Senate, where we will have one last chance to stop them.

There are four pro-abortion senators who have, so far, refused to change the filibuster, the 60-vote rule to get a bill to the floor in the Senate. If just two of them cave, the filibuster will be destroyed, and these abortion bills (and SO MUCH MORE) will pass the Senate and become law in ALL 50 states.

We cannot fail to answer the bell! The most radical agenda imaginable is just two pro-abortion votes from passing. We could easily lose the great victory for life that came through the Supreme Court’s recent Dobbs ruling.

In addition, governors are facing incredible pressure and rapid-fire litigation regarding abortion. Fax members of the Senate and our state leaders to urge them to protect life and end abortion now. — Mat

Now there are at least five major pro-abortion bills that have already passed the U.S. House. They need only two more senators willing to discard the filibuster to become the law of the land.

Earlier this year, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) said they oppose abolishing the 60-vote filibuster rule. So did Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK). But ALL FOUR want to codify Roe v. Wade as federal law.

If only two of these four senators cave and support the “nuclear option” to erase the filibuster, the Senate can pass any of the abortion bills. But it will not stop there.

Sen. Collins is one of the four senators we need to protect the filibuster and thereby block these bills. She recently railed against the Dobbs ruling on abortion, saying:

“The threshold question of whether abortion is legal needs to be consistent at a national level. … This ill-considered action … is a sudden and radical jolt to the country that will lead to political chaos, anger and a further loss of confidence in our government.”

Sen. Sinema is from Arizona where violence recently erupted around the state capitol building with legislators trapped inside. The protesters had to be dispersed with tear gas, and some were arrested. The pressure on members of state legislatures is intense, as it is in the U.S. Congress.

In Washington, D.C., even a U.S. legislator (Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) was arrested for protesting, blocking an intersection and refusing to obey multiple police requests to leave the area.

Joe Biden has called on Congress to “restore the protections of Roe v. Wade as federal law.” U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) exclaimed, “The hell with the Supreme Court.”

Do you remember when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stood in front of the Court in March 2020 and threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh?

Schumer said, “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!” And after the Dobbs ruling came down, he bemoaned the result: “Today is one of the darkest days our country has ever seen.”

Chuck Schumer is the senator with the power to schedule a Senate vote on abortion at any time. I emphasize again: IF ONLY TWO MORE SENATORS VOTE TO ABOLISH THE 60-VOTE FILIBUSTER RULE, THE DOBBS DECISION WILL BE ERASED AND ABORTION WILL AGAIN BE FORCED ON THE STATES.

Urge our federal and state leaders to protect life and end abortion!

If the filibuster is abolished, and abortion and other disastrous bills become law, this fall’s midterm election will not undo these laws. Even if there is a change in leadership in the U.S. House and Senate, and Congress votes to repeal these bills, Joe Biden would simply veto their vote. These terrible bills would remain law for more than two years—at a minimum!

Sen. Murkowski—another of the senators we are relying on to block the filibuster’s removal—told CBS the Dobbs abortion decision “creates a growing need for the Senate to pass the ‘Women's Health Protection Act,’” which is one of the abortion bills the House has advanced. In addition, Sen. Collins stated she supported Justice Kavanaugh's nomination to the Court because she “believed he would uphold Roe v. Wade,” but now feels she was misled.

The Dobbs decision says that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” Indeed, abortion has no basis in the Constitution. Urge our federal and state leaders to protect life and end abortion!

We have worked for decades for the magnificent VICTORY FOR LIFE that came through the Dobbs ruling. This decision will reverberate around the world. Law students will be taught about Dobbs and not about the constitutionally baseless Roe and Casey opinions. And best of all, many children will now live who may have died a cruel death!

Along with our pro-life work supporting Liberty Counsel’s large docket of critical pro-life cases, including defending Sandra Merritt who revealed the Planned Parenthood doctors’ harvesting of baby body parts, we continue helping in Liberty Counsel’s massive class action lawsuit on behalf of service members in all U.S. military branches regarding the illegal COVID shot mandates. Next week and continuing thereafter, there will be a flurry of legal activity. I will update you soon.

Please be in prayer for our country and for us. And please prayerfully consider supporting Liberty Counsel Action. A generous Challenge Grant will effectively DOUBLE the impact of your donation.
