PHASE 2 STARTS NOW! NO Taxes for
Abortion Insurance Petition Drive Update! Together we did it!
Prolife people from every county in Michigan responded to the need to
keep our tax dollars and health insurance premiums from paying for
abortion. The Board of Canvassers has completed its initial review of the NO
Taxes for Abortion Insurance petition. Early in December, this legislation
will be sent to the Michigan House and Senate for a vote. Now is the time to contact your
representatives in Lansing and tell them to "vote YES on the Abortion
Insurance Opt-Out Act". For a
listing of your Michigan House and Senate go to www.rtl.org or call Right to Life of Michigan in
Grand Rapids (616)532-2300, Ann Arbor (734)930-7474.
It is time to
place your RTL Porch Candles Order for your Church and/or Pro-Life Group to
distribute in January of 2014. Thousands of your Michigan neighbors
will light their candle on the evening of Tuesday, January 21st and place it on
their porch, so that it will burn through the night and into Wednesday, January
22nd, to commemorate the tragic lose of over fifty five million
babies to abortion in America. The
cost is $.88 each from RTL with your tax ID# plus shipping. If you live in the
Ann Arbor area, Marilyn Geyer’s sister
will bring them to Ann Arbor and save you shipping cost, if your place
your order by Monday, Dec. 9th. Call
RTL in Grand Rapids at 616-532-2300 to place your order. Tell
