Brad Mattes is president of Life Issues Institute which was founded in 1991 to serve the educational needs of the pro-life movement.  Brad is the host of Life Issues, a daily radio commentary, also the weekly Straight Talk on Life Issues and has produced numerous radio specials standing for life.

There’s a lot of misinformation being communicated throughout our nation.  Right up front we need to be clear.  The intentional killing of a baby in the womb is not healthcare.  It is murder.  The Bible is very clear when it says that God hates the hands that shed innocent blood yet from coast-to-coast there are politicians that are making abortion the centerpiece of their campaigns.

Brad noted how research shows that over 95% of all abortions are done for social or economic reasons.  This means they were not required for the life/health of the mother, rape or incest.  Many women are also forced/coerced into having an abortion.  So he believes we need to stand by and support women when they’re facing an unexpected pregnancy and not tell them that the answer is to kill their child.  

There’s also a lot of misinformation being disseminated about the abortion pill.  Although women are told it’s not a baby, this procedure is chemical abortion.  When the baby passes from their body they see this child and it’s at that point they realize they were told a lie.  This is causing not only babies to be victims but expectant mothers as well.

Other points discussed included:

• The possible elimination of the Senate filibuster in order to reinstate abortion. 
• “The Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act” by Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin. 
• The fear mongering lies of those falsely claiming that judges and politicians will exert themselves into exam rooms, telling doctors they can’t treat their patients, even if that treatment would save a woman’s life.
• …and much more including input from Crosstalk listeners.
