The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) will report on the pro-life victories of state legislatures at its annual convention, taking place this week in Jacksonville, Florida.
The theme is "Bringing America Back to life," and NRLC president Carol Tobias expects this year's attendees to be encouraged by the actions of state legislatures.
"Four states have passed a bill that would ban abortion at the point that the unborn child can feel pain; Nebraska did it last year," she reports. "So with the four this year, we now have five states. Several states are going after Planned Parenthood in order to take tax-dollar funding from the organization," Tobias adds. "Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion-provider."
She says a number of other major topics will also be addressed.
"Some experts are going to talk about how abortion can impact breast cancer [and] what the link is between the two," the NRLC president explains. "We're going to be talking about the Obama healthcare law and how it rations healthcare for everyone in the country."
Plus, some presidential candidates will be attending the convention to take part in a candidate forum. "For sure, we've got Rick Santorum (R-Pennsylvania), Herman Cain and Ron Paul (R-Texas)," Tobias reports. And the pro-life group hopes a number of other candidates will be able to attend its Jacksonville event as well.
Both Santorum and Paul recently signed a presidential pro-life leadership pledge promoted by another pro-life organization, the Susan B. Anthony List. Cain, however, refused to sign the pledge.
