Part 1 of 2

Denise Burke is Vice President of Legal Affairs for Americans United for Life (AUL) and editor of Defending Life, a semi-annual publication which focuses on life issues. Read more about Denise’s amazing story here,  including her time in the Air Force!

This weekend, hundreds of thousands of pro-life supporters across the country will be standing in solidarity defending life. Some state will have more supporters than others. Denise Burke and AUL have ranked all 50 states based upon how well women and babies are protected from the abortion industry. The new number one defender of life is the state of Oklahoma! Boomer Sooner! Texas ranks number ten. Denise explains that the AUL not only looks at a state’s defense of the unborn in the womb, but also their position and laws passed concerning human cloning, protecting healthcare worker rights, and end of life issues. (Note: You can find the complete listing on their website.)

Despite all the negative media attention their clinics have gained over the past few years, women are still receiving sub-standard care and services through the majority of Planned Parenthood facilities. “When women go into an abortion clinic, they face dangerous and often unqualified practitioners. They are still not getting full information about abortion and the effects on their baby and themselves,” Denise notes.

Listen in to the next segment with Denise as she discusses the Texas legal case which the United States Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling on soon.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - The Best and Worst States for Protecting Babies
Topic: Abortion on Demand

Texas House Bill 2 was passed several years ago by the Texas Legislature. HB2 subjected abortion clinics to the same patient care standards as other outpatient clinics. Back in 1973, when SCOTUS made abortion legal, they also allowed individual states to regulate the abortion industry as they saw fit. Now, Texas’s right to make abortion clinics safer and cleaner is being challenged. Be in prayer for this case and for the women and babies that the ruling will effect.

Denise Burke also discusses the Unborn Infants Dignity Act, which was introduced in response to the revelation that Planned Parenthood was selling baby body parts for profit. “It [the Unborn Infants Dignity Act] requires every women to get respect and proper treatment for her dead, unborn child, and to make sure that child is never exploited,” Denise explains. AUL is in contact with a number of elected officials from several states to make sure the Unborn Infants Dignity Act is passed. Denise encourages listeners to urge their elected officials to push the Unborn Infants Dignity Act through for a positive vote.
