	Mr. John, Have you seen the cover of TIME just released today?  http://www.sba-list.org/sites/default/files/content/shared/time_cover.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" />   Also published today by TIME is an awesome op-ed written by SBA List’s very own Emily Buchanan, our Executive Vice President (which you can read below)!   Mr. John, even TIME knows that the pro-life movement is winning.   While we certainly face an uphill battle with President Obama, already in 2013, momentum is on our side. Consider these latest developments: In Michigan, Governor Rick Snyder signed into law a pro-life package that will allow state health officials to inspect all 32 abortion businesses across the state – 28 of which are not licensed and have rarely been inspected. SBA List activists in Michigan helped make this happen, teaming up with our friends at Michigan Right to Life who led the charge.  In both Texas and Oklahoma, judges have ruled that the states can cut off taxpayer funding to abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood. In Texas, Planned Parenthood will no longer be eligible to participate in the Women’s Health Program, and in Oklahoma, Planned Parenthood will no longer administer WIC benefits to vulnerable mothers and children. Instead, women will now go to entities that provide real health care, not abortion. Special shout-out to our SBA List members in these states who took action, and especially to Texas Right to Life who led the fight to defund Planned Parenthood in The Lone Star State.  In Virginia, Governor Bob McDonnell certified health safety standards for abortion businesses. Earlier this year, our friends at the Virginia Family Foundation, examined inspection documents through the Freedom of Information Act that found over 80 health and safety violations in just nine of Virginia’s 20 abortion businesses.  Mr. John, 2013 is off to a great start, and here are two things you can do right now to help us keep the momentum going: Share the cover of TIME and Emily’s op-ed by forwarding this e-mail to your friends and family, and make sure to share it on your social networks.

We are now rebuilding our finances when we must be at full capacity, ready to fight President Obama at every turn and help stay on offense in state legislatures across the country.  Onward for Life!   Mallory Quigley Communications Director, SBA List     Viewpoint: Pro-Life and Feminism Aren’t Mutually Exclusive By Emily Buchanan Jan. 03, 2013   From its early beginnings, feminism was a young women’s movement. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul, Charlotte Lozier and so many others began their suffragist work in their 20s. These women — the original feminists — understood that the rights of women cannot be built on the broken backs of unborn children. Anthony called abortion “child murder.” Paul, author of the original 1923 Equal Rights Amendment, said that “abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.”     So the pro-life movement hasn’t changed the meaning of feminism, as has been suggested. It was the neo-feminists of the 1960s and ’70s who asked women to prize abortion as the pathway to equality.   Marjorie Dannenfelser, along with a group of mostly Democratic women, started the Susan B. Anthony List in 1992, the so-called Year of the Woman, when numerous pro-choice women were elected to Congress.   Dannenfelser, then in her mid-20s, saw a need to support more pro-life women running for elected office. Twenty years since the organization’s founding, we now have two pro-life women in the Senate, 17 in the House, four in governorships and hundreds more in state legislatures.    Pro-life feminism has captivated a new generation of young women who reject the illusion that to be pro-woman is to be pro-choice. Gallup polling showed that among 18-to-29-year-olds, there was a 5% increase in those labeling themselves “pro-life” between 2007–08 and 2009–10. The past few years have seen the emergence of young leaders like Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America, who is responsible for organizing more than 675 pro-life groups on college campuses across the nation, and Lila Rose of Live Action, whose undercover video work has forced the abortion industry to confront and amend practices it cannot defend, as well as dozens of other future leaders who have assisted our organization as staff members and interns. During the past two summers we’ve had young female leaders join the SBA List from Stanford, Georgetown, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of California, Berkeley. These passionate defenders of women and unborn children return to their campuses ready to lead pro-life groups and educate their classmates on the tragedy of abortion.   Read the rest online at TIME.
