Fighting
against a prolife ballot measure in North Dakota, Planned Parenthood and
cronies are exercising their free choice to use dirty tactics. This week has been especially blatant. They don’t even have an office in North
Dakota but they have poured $1.5 million (96% of total donations) to fund
the opposition North Dakotans Against Measure 1 (NDAM1).
The big bucks are being spent to spread lies
in an attempt to defeat the measure which would add these words to the state
constitution: “The inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage
of development must be recognized and protected.” It will not make law. It will simply give constitutional support to
legislation that regulates abortion. This will prevent pro-abortion groups from
getting laws overturned as unconstitutional.

They have been lying to the point of getting sloppy. This
week, ND Choose Life served a “Cease and Desist” letter to all the TV stations
in the state to stop airing a new ad released by North
Dakotans Against Measure 1. It claimed
the measure would “ban all abortions.” The foolish thing is that on their own
website, they have a position paper stating Measure 1 could not “nullify the
landmark abortion case Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey…” Their own
legal advisor’s analysis said the same thing.
And then they went and made a commercial that contradicted what they had
publicly acknowledged. By the next day,
the TV stations, following their duty under the Federal Communications
Commission rules, pulled the commercial.

Throughout the campaign and including this week, ND Choose Life has invited their opponents to debate on radio programs.
All invitations have been declined.

| 40 Days for Life vigil outside Fargo abortion clinic |
On Tuesday of this week, several North Dakota State
University students in Fargo held a gathering to make phone calls asking voters to oppose
Measure 1. The group kicked off the evening
with supper and a social at the abortion clinic. They ate a meal and socialized in the same place where babies are killed! By the next morning–the weekly abortion
day at the Red River Women’s Clinic–abortions began.

During their phone calls, the lies continued intended to scare people into thinking Measure 1would
take away everyone’s ability to make end-of-life decisions and that IVF would
become illegal. They know that’s not
true, and Planned Parenthood is involved in neither issue, but false stories and fake
concern is their main tactic against Measure 1.

A few days ago,
there were anti-Measure 1 rallies in Fargo and Bismarck. In both cities, later that same evening, many “Yes Measure 1” signs were slashed and stolen.

Also this week, the ND Choose Life office
received a call from the CEO of the nursing home, Rosewood on Broadway, to report that thieves
just stole their signs in front of the nursing home in broad daylight.

There is less than a week left before the election. Many church pastors are imploring their
congregations to do the right thing and vote to defend life. Prayer days and vigils are being held. ND
Choose Life can still put donations to good use to air commercials and run for
newspaper advertisements. And of course prayers to defeat the culture of death are always needed. To learn more or donate
