Call to Action

Neighbors for Life is one of the most effective Minnesota pro-life organizations, working tirelessly to bring about a stronger pro-life Minnesota. We call upon all citizens of Minnesota, who care about the lives of unborn children, to regularly contact their state representatives and senators:

Let them know that you object to tax-funding of abortion in Minnesota,
that it violates your religious and/or moral beliefs,
that nothing in the Minnesota Constitution justifies abortion
that nothing in the Minnesota Constitution mandates public funding of abortion.
Ask them to call for House and Senate hearings on Doe v Gomez (1995 Minnesota Supreme Court ruling which mandates public funding of abortion)
Ask them to support the Neighbors for Life constitutional amendment (to end tax-funding of abortion) in the upcoming 2004 legislative session
Tell them that you will surely vote for this amendment if it gets on the 2004 ballot.

It is important to be persistent with politicians. A respectful, yet insistent monthly e-mail or letter or phone call can work wonders in encouraging pro-life legislators and swaying those on the fence.

Sample letter (or e-mail) to your legislator

Dear :

I wish to thank you for your fine work at the Minnesota Legislature. We are proud to have such a dedicated person representing our concerns and working toward a better and more just society.

I have a concern which I would like to raise to your attention. Minnesotans pay approximately $1,000,000/year for elective abortions. I am opposed to this abuse of our tax dollars, both on moral and political grounds. Minnesotans have not had the opportunity to decide in a referendum, whether or not they wish to pay for abortions with their tax dollars. Rather, 6 Minnesota Supreme Court justices decided against the will of the Minnesota Legislature that elective abortions would have to be funded by state tax monies (Doe v Gomez 1995).

I therefore ask you to call for hearings on Doe v Gomez in the 2004 Legislative session. I also ask you to help to get the Neighbors for Life constitutional amendment on the November 2004 ballot. I believe that the majority of Minnesotans will vote for this amendment to end tax-funding of abortion in Minnesota.

Thanks in advance for your attention to this most important matter. After all, children are our hope and future. We must not turn a blind eye and deaf ear to children being killed in the womb. We must end the tax-funding of abortion, and one day, abortion itself.

Sincerely,
