Florida Gov. Scott issues first substantive veto

Gov.

The Counterinsurgents’ Defense Secretary

The Counterinsurgents’ Defense Secretary

Pro-life group Personhood USA to followers: ‘bring the streets to the polling place’

Personhood USA, the group responsible for unveiling initiatives aimed at undoing abortion and some types of birth control acrosss the country, released a new video yesterday. The clip — titled “Pro-Life? What Is It?” — urges listeners to “get off the couch” and “bring the church to the streets, bring the streets to the polling place and bring healing to our world.” # The video suggests that being pro-life is more than simply “going outside an abortionist’s office, praying and giving counseling to young women.” While a graphic of Jesus on the cross is displayed, a narrator urges supporters to ”not settle for the protection of just some, not be afraid of defeat, of the future, of death.” # In a press release, the group touted the video as its “latest contribution” and says it “serves as both a moment of self-reflection and a call to action.” # “This is the key question as we examine where we have been in the last 40 years and where we are collectively headed,” said Keith Mason, co-founder of Personhood USA, according to the release.
