So much of what goes on in our culture is influenced by ideas, by the ideas that you have about those things, about the words that are used to express the idea and sometimes those words are intentionally misleading. They're meant to mislead you and to mislead your loved ones.

In this episode of Life Matters we're going to talk about the legislature and the fact that laws are made by people that you elect every two years. That's when you get a chance to hire someone to make laws for you. If you don't pay attention to the work they're doing for you, to the laws that they're proposing, well, that's your responsibility to get rid of someone when they consistently make bad laws. It's a great gift that we live in one of the greatest nations on earth because you have the ability to influence your own laws and you'll be held responsible for that. You can't point your fingers at others. You're going to have to take up that burden and pay attention to the ideas and the battle of ideas in which were in.

We're going to join Senator Mike Morrell an old friend of the pro-life movement and we'll talk about some of the things that you can do. One of the things that Senator Morrell brings up is the issue of government finance of the abortion industry. There are many pro-lifers that don't understand that the abortion movement is actually government-financed. While pro-abortion and pro-choice advocates will use language like “hands off my body,” or “Get the government out of abortion.” In reality, it is the government that's promoting abortion, promoting the idea that abortion is a good thing. Planned Parenthood gets millions of dollars to promote these ideas but also to perform the abortion and to advertise to young, pregnant women. That's government money, that's your money being used. If the government were to pull out of the abortion industry in many ways it would wither on the vine. It would dry up.

That's your tax money. You’ve got to know about that and you’ve got to demand from your legislators that your money not go into this industry. Go to CaliforniaProLife.org and find out more about getting the government out of the abortion industry. We also want to give you a heads up: this being an election year, this is a year you can do something about this but you need to plan now to make sure that you find out the resources you can use in your community to get involved. School board races are very important. It's the school boards that can release kids secretly for abortions. You need to elect school board members who are going to say, “No. We're not going to release these children without parental consent to Planned Parenthood.” The only way to do that is to elect good pro-life school board members. Do that this year. Get involved. We’ll give you the tools. Go to CaliforniaProLife.org and find out how you can change your community.
