More than 4,000 compassionate citizens made the 2012 MCCL March for Life a huge success! Thanks to all who spoke out at the Capitol for justice for unborn babies and their mothers. View our slide show from the event.

The March commemorates the 39th anniversary of the tragic Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton U.S. Supreme Court decisions that legalized abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy. These devastating rulings have resulted in the deaths of more than 54 million unborn children, including more than 567,000 in Minnesota.

Every pro-life voice is needed to urge state legislators to support MCCL's pro-life agenda during the 2012 legislative session, which began Jan. 24. For more information, e-mail MCCL@mccl.org or call 612-825-6831.

The Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act was introduced on Mar. 7. The bill would prohibit abortions at the point in pregnancy at which an unborn child can feel pain, which medical evidence demonstrates is (conservatively) 20 weeks from conception.

S.F. 649 and H.F. 936 is based on a landmark Nebraska law enacted last year, which has not been challenged in court.

"For far too long, Minnesota's abortionists have been inflicting unconscionable suffering on unborn babies by killing them when they are already extraordinarily developed and pain-sensitive," notes MCCL Executive Director Scott Fischbach. "It is illegal to treat animals in such a brutal way; this bill will finally protect unborn children at 20 weeks and older from the torturous pain of abortion."

Pelosi said, "We have to pass Health Care Reform to see what's in it!" Now we are seeing what is in it and it's just what we said it would be. 

It's a socialist style government run health care plan that will limit your freedom to receive health care even if you are willing to add your own money to get it.

It will limit private insurance plans as well. Not just medicare and medicaid. We must repeal Obamacare or we may die from its effects.

We will do our best to keep you informed of changes arising from the law. Check back often for the latest developments.*
