Pro-life organizations are preparing to deal with major issues before Congress this year.
2010 was a year full of full-armor battles for life, and pro-life groups expect to see more of the same this year.
"We're very excited about the opportunities we see opening up in front of the life movement, because with the change in the United States Congress and seeing pro-life leadership come back to the House side, there are now opportunities to defend life that we have not seen in a very long time," notes Charmaine Yoest, CEO and president of Americans United for Life (AUL).
She says one of her group's major goals is to repeal healthcare reform, so AUL will be working to make that happen, especially when it comes to gaining passage in the Senate.
"It is doable because the polling data is really clear that the United States Congress really overreached and President Obama did not have the support that he thought that he did for passing this really, really big piece of legislation that included so much subsidies and a change in federal policy towards abortion," Yoest contends.
She is confident passage will take place in the House, but she expects the task to be more difficult in the Senate. If accomplished, the repeal bill will go to the president. And if he vetoes it, Yoest believes that will create another campaign issue for 2012.
