UDPATE, 2/18, 4:15p: The official attempt to get sign-ups has been completed, with 171 on board. But now as Jordan/Shuler physically get signatures, which will take a few days, Members can still squeeze in if they want to. The goal is to get 200. The list of prospects is on page 2.

UPDATE, 2/12, 3:25p: And again, the list keeps shrinking. (Good job on the calls!) I have a new updated list of congressional pro-life nonsigners on page 2.
And hey, what’s up with Jim Oberstar, former co-chair for the Pro-life Caucus, and Nathan Deal, ranking member on the Health Subcommittee, not signing?! MN pro-lifers should verbally prod Oberstar (202-225-6211), and GA pro-lifers should poke Deal (202-225-5211).

UPDATE, 2/12, 8:25a: The list keeps shrinking. See an updated list of congressional pro-life nonsigners on page 2. Keep on calling.

I wrote yesterday that pro-aborts are focusing less on ideology (passing bills) than on getting money from willing political accomplices. Americans United for Life has issued an email alert with an interesting take: Pro-aborts plan not only to get money by dropping pro-life riders from appropriations bills but to also gain stealth pieces of FOCA at the same time. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Good point….

Bottom line: We need to call those straggler pro-life congressmen who haven’t yet signed on to the letter urging Speaker Pelosi to back away from pro-life riders. Deadline is Friday. Read the updated list of names of pro-life congressmen who haven’t signed on to the letter yet on page 2. The list has gone down quite a bit. Good job!
Also, don’t forget to sign AUL’s Fight FOCA petition. The ad at the top right provides the link.
