As this episode airs, President Barack Obama has been in office nearly two years, and he’s been diligently working to enact policies and legislation that attack the very nature of our government and the sanctity of life. After a lengthy fight, pro-lifers narrowly lost the battle on healthcare reform. But pro-lifers on Capitol Hill are not discouraged. They are doing everything in their power to repeal this dangerous bill.
This episode includes interviews with:
Congressman Jim Jordan, serving Ohio’s Fourth District. Before his first election, he was awarded the Defender of Life award by Ohio Right to Life. Jim has championed legislation in defense of the unborn and helped lead the fight on pro-family issues.
Congressman Steve King, representing Iowa’s Fifth District. He is the ranking Republican on the Immigration Subcommittee and a member of the House Judiciary Committee. Congressman King discusses his plan to repeal the healthcare reform bill.
Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, notes how President Obama has earned the title of the most pro-abortion president in our nation’s history.
Congresswoman Jean Schmidt, representing Ohio’s Second District. She discusses how Americans have grown dissatisfied with the federal government, which has energized pro-lifers and could give pro-life candidates an edge in the November 2010 elections.
Walter B. Jones, representing North Carolina’s Third District. He is extremely optimistic that the November elections could prove a turning point for his party’s standing in Congress.
