NOM Vows to Unseat Three Republicans Who Betrayed Missouri Voters and People of Faith

NOM Vows to Unseat Three Republicans Who Betrayed Missouri Voters and People of Faith
  
Contact: Chris Plante, National Organization for Marriage, 202-457-8060 ext 812, cplante@nationformarriage.org

WASHINGTON, April 27, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today vowed to unseat Representatives Anne Zerr, Jim Hansen and Caleb Rowden because of their refusal to support SJR 39 which would allow Missouri voters to protect the right of Christians and people of faith from being punished by government because they object to participating in a same-sex 'wedding.' NOM is the nation's largest and most active organization in support of traditional marriage and the religious liberty rights of marriage supporters.

"This act of betrayal by three cowardly Republicans will not be tolerated," said Brian Brown, NOM's president. "These lawmakers have sided with LGBT extremists and voted against the right of Missouri voters to consider needed religious liberty provisions protecting people of faith from being forced to participate in a same-sex 'wedding' despite their deeply held religious objections. As we have done elsewhere, we will do everything in our power to end the political careers of these gutless politicians."

NOM has a history of involvement in legislative elections against Republicans who vote to redefine marriage or fail to protect the right of people to refuse involvement in a gay 'wedding' that violates their religious beliefs. They were instrumental in unseating all four Republican state Senators in New York who voted with Democrats to redefine marriage. In 2014, the group helped defeat two Republican US House candidates in Massachusetts and California, and defeated a Republican US Senate candidate in Oregon who supported same-sex 'marriage.' The group also funded independent expenditure efforts and ran ads supporting two successful US Senate candidates in Arkansas and North Carolina.

"LGBT extremists are intent on harnessing the power of government to target anyone who opposes their desire to redefine marriage," Brown said. "They have successfully gone after florists, bakers, photographers, innkeepers and others seeking to force them to participate in a gay 'wedding' that many people consider to be sinful. People have been sued, fined, fired and punished, their reputations ruined and their livelihood destroyed. SJR 39 would have given Missouri voters an opportunity to prevent this type of discrimination against people of faith, but the three Republican legislators instead made sure that the extremists will be able to continue to harass and punish anyone in Missouri who disagrees with their dangerous and divisive agenda."

Representatives Zerr and Rowden are currently seeking election to the state Senate. Rowden is running in Senate District 19 against Rep. Stephen Webber, while Zerr is in a contested Republican primary on August 2nd to fill the vacant 23rd Senate District. Hansen is running unopposed for reelection to the state House of Representatives.

"Whether it takes us a few months or several years, we will not rest until all three of these turncoat Republicans are out of office," Brown pledged. "The people of Missouri are tired of politicians who betray them, running for office as conservatives but failing to support conservative policies once in office. We're going to make sure that voters in each of these districts know that they were betrayed, and we'll be working to unseat them at the first opportunity."

To schedule an interview with Brian Brown, please contact Chris Plante, cplante@nationformarriage.org, (202) 457-8060 x-812.

Paid for by The National Organization for Marriage, Brian Brown, president. 2029 K Street NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20006, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

Europe Moves to Defend Women and Children

Europe Moves to Defend Women and Children






































Europe Moves to Defend Women and Children

by Jennifer Lahl, CBC President
Here’s a headline you won’t read in American newspapers today as we continue with what has become a true political circus.
Recently
in Europe, however, the Social Affairs Committee of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe voted against the practice of all
forms of surrogacy—commercial or altruistic, gestational or
“traditional”—rejecting a draft report on human rights and ethical issues related to surrogacy that called for regulation of the practice.
The
European Parliament has already condemned the practice of surrogacy, so
this majority vote by the Council of Europe, which represents 47 Member
States, is additional, welcome news.
This
is the correct position to take on the matter of surrogacy: not to
regulate, which tacitly condones the practice, but to prohibit it
altogether.
But
what about here in the U.S., known throughout the world as the Wild
Wild West of reproduction? My state of California is a leader in the
global reproductive trade of eggs, sperm, wombs for hire, and babies.
For example, Elton John and his partner David Furnish came to California
twice to partake of our reproductive “services.” They bought eggs from
women, and they hired surrogate mothers who gestated babies for them to
take back to the United Kingdom.
Here
in America, our lawmakers, our media, and our public citizens seem
woefully unaware of the billions of dollars a year industry that has
cropped up with almost no regulation. It literally is a business
profiting from the buying and selling of reproductive bodies and the
manufacturing of children who through contracts are sold to “intended
parents.”
But what is so wrong with surrogacy, and why is this vote by the Council of Europe such welcome news?
Surrogacy
undermines the dignity of women, the children born via this method, our
bodies and their procreative capacities. Treating women as paid or
unpaid breeders
robs women of their inherent dignity and treats children as commodities
to be bought, sold, and paid for. As one child conceived through the
practice says in our film Breeders and in a separate interview I conducted with her last year, she is a product.
Surrogacy carries risks to women and children
that are not present in an otherwise natural pregnancy. These high-tech
assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are not only risky to the
women but also the children born through ART/surrogacy. Surrogate mothers suffer higher rates
of preeclampsia, maternal hypertension, and gestational diabetes, and
the children suffer with higher rates of preterm birth. Often there are
also all the complications of a multiple pregnancy as surrogate
mothers frequently carry twins, triplets, or more—because these
technologies are very expensive and have a high failure rate.
I recently attended a “Families Through Surrogacy”
conference in London where one same-sex couple from Paris told me they
had to use three egg donors and two surrogate mothers to finally have
success with twins who will be born this year in Canada. They explained
that they were already well “over our budget,” but happily awaiting the
birth of the babies in Canada to take back to France, where all
surrogacy is prohibited.
Surrogacy
intentionally and without concern breaks important maternal-child
bonds. As a pediatric nurse, I know how important and good bonding is to
both mother and child. Our wombs are not arbitrary locations.
Connections between mother and child begin in utero. One surrogate
mother I spoke with in London said, “I just think of myself as the
pre-birth babysitter.” The psalmist reminds us that we were “ knit
together in our mother’s womb.” Surrogacy intentionally breaks this bond
and the lifelong connection that begins well before birth.
Surrogacy
is exploitative and class based. Who buys and who sells? The wealthy
buy and the low income and poor sell. Female college students are
targeted and marketed to in order to sell their eggs. Low-income
military wives are heavily marketed to and recruited to serve as paid
surrogate mothers.
This
broad social justice movement across the European continent is
spreading to other places. India, Mexico, and Thailand have closed their
borders to the international exploitation of their poor women and the
trafficking of babies back to countries like France, Italy, and Germany.
But
as these borders close and Europe positions themselves to prohibit and
abolish surrogacy, it will become open season on women in the U.S.,
Canada, and other countries with permissive, relaxed surrogacy policies.
America will increasingly be a destination for paying women to carry
babies.
The
Council of Europe should be widely commended for its action. I remain
hopeful that political and religious leaders, the media, and even
individual citizens in America will soon get their heads out of the sand
on this issue. Far too much is at stake for us not to.
