The Legacy of Judas National Right to Life

The Covenant News ~ December 23, 2007


Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests and said,"What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?"And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.In 1981, after president Ronald Reagan agreed he would sign federal personhood legislation for the unborn, National Right to Life and their longtime attorney James Bopp actually opposed that effort claiming they supported a states' rights approach. Move forward in time a quarter century to today. Notice that NRTL and Bopp have long opposed all state personhood efforts. Demonstrated below, NRTL has continuously promoted legislation that undermines the personhood of an innocent child. In betrayal, NRTL quietly worked to oppose South Dakota's recent abortion ban referendum. Now, like a thief in the night they are circulating a recent Bopp memo to pro-life legislators and religious organizations to oppose personhood efforts in Colorado and elsewhere. NRTL is attempting to turn pro-life officials against this legitimate effort to end abortion and enforce the God-given right to life.A stalwart authority of the pro-life movement, Dr. Charles Rice of Notre Dame, accurately reports that not one of the U.S. Supreme Court justices, which includes those supported by NRTL, has ever affirmed personhood and the right to life for the unborn. The Court's infamous Partial-Birth Abortion ruling advocates "an injection that kills the fetus," and "less shocking methods" of killing the same late-term children, and explicitly keeps PBA legal declaring that the baby can be delivered up to "the navel" and then terminated. This Gonzales v. Carhart decision is a virtual PBA manual. Yet against the landslide of changing opinion among pro-life leaders (because they have now read the decision for themselves), Bopp continues to praise these justices who delivered the most aggressively pro-abortion, brutally-wicked decision ever issued by a U.S. court.Written on the letterhead of Bopp's law firm, this August 7, 2007 11-page memo states, "And some have shamelessly vilified the Supreme Court justices who gave us this important victory… This is a grave injustice to these justices…" -James Bopp


"Woe to you also, lawyers!For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers;for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs."NRTL and their longtime lawyer Bopp bear witness that they approve of the justices they lobbied for, who rule to continue to slaughter the innocent. The grave injustice is against the unborn. The growing list of Christian pro-life leaders condemning the evil PBA ruling include:
Judge Roy Moore
Ambassador Alan Keyes
Human Life Int'l president Rev. Tom Euteneuer
Notre Dame Law School Professor Charles Rice
American Life League's Judie Brown
Congressman Bob Dornan


And many more.And the founder of Focus on the Family also confirmed that:"Ending partial-birth abortion… does not save a single human life." -Dr. James Dobson, May 2007, FocusAction.org.James Bopp and NRTL led the partial-birth abortion fiasco that wasted fifteen years but raised for the pro-life industry a quarter-billion dollars on a PBA ban that from its very inception never had the authority to prevent a single abortion. Bopp is an Advisor to false pro-life candidate Mitt Romney and American RTL Action is now running its first 527 political TV ad on the Fox News Channel in Iowa exposing Romney.Brian RohrboughPresident, American RTLContact:Donna Ballentine1-888-888-ARTL
