Coming rally in Washington D.C.—July 15^th

“July 15th in Washington, D.C.: Anti-Amnesty March and Rally

Although this is not a NumbersUSA event, we are forwarding information to members who may be interested in attending.

Dear activist,

The Black American Leadership Alliance (BALA) has organized an anti-amnesty march and rally—the DC March for Jobs—in Washington, D.C. on Monday, July 15th. The goal is to ‘demand that our leaders reject amnesty, enforce immigration laws as written, and support policies that put black U.S. citizens back to work.’

As their web site notes, if the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill is enacted, it ‘will be costly for all Americans, but will harm black American workers more than any other group. Mass immigration and amnesty puts those poorest Americans from all walks of life out of work and suppresses wages, causing them to compete with aliens willing to work in poorer working conditions for cheaper pay. When 22 million Americans are either out of work or unemployed, now is no time to further over-saturate the labor force with increased immigration levels and amnesty. If Congress doesn’t stop this irresponsible legislation, the United States will continue to see more and more Americans of all races out of jobs and on the streets.’

The list of speakers for the event includes:

(Added to the speaker list are Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Steve King—two of my favorite Congressmen!)

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.)
Representative Steve King (R-Iowa)
Former Representative Alan West (Fla.);
Representative Mo Brooks (R-Ala.);
State Senate Elbert Guillory (R-La.);
Frank Morris, former Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation;
Mike Cutler, former INS Agent; and
Dennis Michael Lynch, filmmaker .

What: DC March for Jobs
When: Monday, July 15, 2013—9:30 a.m.
Where: Starts at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC

Alternatively, you can call 202-349-0858 or send an email to info@blackallianceorg.org

Look for a list of State Organizers on the site. Your state may already have a delegation planning to attend.”

Aren’t you interested in seeing how the mainstream media covers this—if at all? A Black group directly challenging the Democrat Party, Barack Hussein Obama, and the Black Congressional Caucus! If only the Republican Party leadership has the good sense to invite these conservative Black leaders into the mainstream of the Republican Party—where they should be! If not, they should join the TEA Party because we are fighting for the same things! Join Lloyd Marcus and others! Become Tea Party active!

“Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act Wins in Court!
Written By Laurie Higgins

Today the Illinois Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995 is constitutional and, therefore, must take effect.

Finally, after almost 18 years of legal obstacles thrown in the path of this reasonable law by the ACLU, parents (or guardians) of minor girls will finally be accorded their right to know that their daughter is planning to undergo a significant medical procedure attendant to which are serious physical and emotional risks (Which demonstrates unequivocally that the ACLU and like-minded organizations DO NOT CARE about girls or women. They care about the money that comes from MURDERING unborn babies and the corrupting of the morals of the American people! It is they who are waging the real “War on Girls and Women!”—my addition).

This law is not a parental permission law (Although such a law is needed! What girl can even take an aspirin at school without a permission slip? And yet they are allowed by an out-of-control court system to MURDER their own baby! Immorality of the Left!—my addition). It merely requires that parents or guardians be notified at least 48 hours prior to an unemancipated minor girl acquiring an abortion. Actually, the law is so generous that it permits the person notified to be a parent, grandparent, step-parent or guardian who is living in the home with the minor girl.

Further, it provides for a judicial bypass waiver that would allow exemptions from notification for medical emergencies (Medical emergency to commit MURDER! Nonsense!—my addition) or to protect girls who come from abusive home environments whose safety might be jeopardized by parental notification.

But neither parents’ rights, nor minors’ health is sufficient to override the ACLU’s obsession with absolute, unfettered sexual liberty (MURDER liberty! You just have to have the sex before you can have the MURDER! The most dangerous place in America for a female (or a male) is in her (his) mother’s womb! And that is a FACT!—my addition).

In the majority opinion, Justice Anne Burke wrote:

‘While it is unquestionably true that minors, like adults, possess constitutional rights, including the right to an abortion (It is NOT a constitutional right! It is an usurpation of the Constitution!—my addition), the rights of minors are not coextensive with the rights of an adult…. This disparate treatment is ‘grounded in the recognition that, during the formative years of childhood and adolescence, minors often lack the experience, perspective, and judgment to recognize and avoid choices that could be detrimental to them.’ In addition, when considering the constitutionality of a parental notification statute, the minor’s rights are not the only rights to be protected—parents have a constitutional right to raise their children and ‘the guiding role of parents in the upbringing of their children justifies limitations on the freedoms of minors.’

While the ACLU presents scenarios in which the bypass procedure is ineffective or girls suffer as a consequence of notifying parents, it ignores the real potential for long-term emotional consequences that many women suffer for decades following abortion, including increased risk for drug and alcohol abuse, depression and suicidal ideation (The ACLU does NOT CARE!—my addition).

The ACLU makes the absurd claim that since a girl has the right to choose to carry a baby to term, she should have the right to choose to abort it. The ACLU strains to compare choosing to do nothing (i.e. allowing a pregnancy to continue) to choosing to undergo a surgical intervention. The only point of correspondence between those two options is the issue of ‘choice.’

There are two additional flaws in this argument. First, the notification law does not abrogate a minor girl’s right to choose an abortion. It merely requires parental notification.

The ACLU then argues that the mere fact of notification serves as a coercive obstacle to absolute unfettered choice. In so doing, the second problem with the ACLU’s reasoning becomes clearer. The ACLU ignores the fact that when parents, most of whom love their daughters deeply, remain ignorant, the dominant coercive force often becomes the boys or men who impregnated these girls. While the ACLU frets paternalistically that parents may compel daughters to carry an unwanted baby to term, it has little concern about a fourteen-year-old girl being compelled by her fifteen-year-old boyfriend to abort their baby (Both of whom, in most States, have committed statutory rape!—my addition).

Once notified, some parents may try to persuade their daughters not to have an abortion, but how is that more onerous than allowing teenage boys or older victimizers (Pedophiles! You understand, the ACLU does not want to admit that every time these underage girls become pregnant, a crime has probably been committed!—my addition)—who are much more likely to have self-serving motives—to be the central persuasive force?

The choice to allow a baby to live or die will never be absolutely free (Should NOT be!—my addition). The questions are who has the right to help young girls make that choice and whose input is most valuable.

The ACLU’s opposition to parental notification is wildly inconsistent with the requirements for parental notification and permission for virtually any other elective invasive medical procedure from ear-piercing to tattooing to cosmetic surgery. Moreover, when an invasive medical procedure involves not merely serious health risks but the voluntary destruction (MURDER!—my addition) of the life of another human being, young girls need and deserve the input of those who love them most.”

“Court affirms parental rights, after 18 years!

For nearly two decades there’s been a law on the books in Illinois to protect minors from abortion practitioners by requiring that a parent or guardian be notified of a pending procedure 48 hours before it happened.

Finally, it’s about to be enforced.

That’s after the state Supreme Court today ruled unanimously that the law does not violate the Illinois Constitution.

‘This is a huge victory for the rights of parents not only in Illinois but in all Midwestern states,’ said Tom Brejcha, president of the Thomas More Society, which had argued on behalf of the law.

The state’s Parental Notice of Abortion Act was adopted in 1995, but never enforced until now. It requires a parent or guardian to be notified at least 48 hours before a child under the age of 18 undergoes an abortion.

The Thomas More Society said the decision represents the successful culmination of an almost nine-year effort on the part of constitutional scholar Paul Linton to have the law enforced.

Linton met with Illinois pro-life leaders at the end of 2004 to develop a strategy for reviving the parental notice law, which had languished in legal limbo for many years because the Illinois Supreme Court at the time the law was adopted in 1995 simply refused to adopt a needed rule for confidential ‘bypass’ hearings and expedited appeals for minor girls who were either deemed ‘mature’ or made credible claims of family abuse.

Because of the state court’s failure, federal courts held the law to be unconstitutional and enjoined its enforcement, prompting Linton and other pro-life leaders to enlist then-DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett to petition for the court’s action.

The American Civil Liberties Union had battled the law on federal constitutional grounds, and lost its case. Then the same group brought a state court lawsuit alleging that the law violated the Illinois Constitution.

That effort now also has been rebuffed.

‘We find that, while a minor clearly has an expectation of privacy in her medical information, which includes the fact of her pregnancy, the intrusion on the minor’s privacy occasioned by the act is not unreasonable. The state has an interest in ensuring that a minor is sufficiently mature and well-informed to make the difficult decision whether to have an abortion,’ the ruling said.

It continued, ‘To advance that interest, it is reasonable for the state to encourage an unemancipated minor under the age of 18 who wishes to have an abortion to seek the support of a parent or other interested adult, or to require her to prove her maturity by obtaining a judicial waiver in a waiver process that is expedited and confidential.’

The judges found the law ‘is not unduly burdensome since it requires the minor to give notice to only one legally responsible adult … and provides for an exception to the notice requirement when a medical emergency exists and there is insufficient time to provide the required notice.’

‘We agree ... that the act is crafted narrowly to achieve its aim of promoting the minor’s best interests through parental consultation. Accordingly, we find the act is reasonable and, therefore, does not violate our [constitution].’

The Thomas More Society reported the ACLU’s repeated challenges to the constitutionality of the Illinois parental notice law had resulted in Illinois becoming a ‘fugitive’ abortion state—a ‘dumping ground’ for out-of-state minors’ abortions.

Its report said until now, Illinois was the only Midwest state without a parental notice or consent law in effect, and that allowed thousands of abortions to be performed in Illinois on non-resident minors who crossed state lines, often accompanied by the adults who impregnated them, to evade their own state’s parental notice or consent laws (Which is a criminal act? If not, it should be!—my addition).

Casey Mattox, senior counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom noted that the law now is scheduled to take effect in five weeks.

‘The well-being of young women is more important than the bottom line of abortionists. All this law has sought to do since 1995 is to uphold the duty and desire of parents to protect their own children rather than allow them to be taken advantage of by others,’ he said.

‘As the Illinois Supreme Court unanimously found, the law constitutionally encourages ‘an unmarried, pregnant minor to seek the help and advice of a parent or other adult family member in making the very important decision whether or not to bear a child.’ The ACLU kept this law from protecting women for more than 17 years, but that is now over (For the time being!—my addition).”

Notice the problem! 17 years plus since the law was passed and it has NEVER been enforced! Part of the problem, is the federal court system! The Constitution requires a case where the State is a party to begin in the Supreme Court not in an inferior federal court! The States need to demand that the Constitution be followed. And that means, the case begins in the Supreme Court—Article III, Section 2, ¶ 2!
