Reason #33 to Defeat Barack Obama: EMILY’s List
In
1985, a group of abortion supporters created EMILY’s List, a political
action committee dedicated to expanding abortion “rights’” by electing
pro-abortion women candidates. Today, it is one of the largest
political action committees in the country based on revenue, raising
more than $38 million in the 2009-2010 election cycle.
After initially supporting Hillary Clinton for president in
the 2008 primaries, EMILY’s List announced its support for Barack Obama
later that year and says of the 2012 race, “we have to do everything in
our power to keep President Barack Obama in the White House.”
EMILY’s List is not named after an individual, but rather is
an acronym that makes the case for donations. Early Money Is Like
Yeast – E.M.I.L.Y. – is the catchy phrase to convince donors to
contribute early in a campaign to help pro-abortion candidates get
established. The theory is that early financial support will bring a
candidate rising attention, donations, and votes.
Ironically, EMILY’s List might more accurately be named the “Anti-Emily” List.
Let me tell you about another Emily.
Three-year-old Emily is the darling of the family. She
giggles – a lot – which delights the people around her. Emily seems to
find everything in her little world funny . . . and fun. She has a
brother she loves – most of the time – and a tabby cat she gleefully
dangles a string in front of just to see it lunge.
She isn’t the most consistent little kid in the world –
sometimes she’ll get all dressed up for church and walk around with her
head up and showing off; other times she’ll dress up just as nice and
head straight to her muddy sandbox.
She has years ahead of her to learn and love and care and
help those who come to depend on her. And she’ll do it with the same
joy and wonder of the world that she’s showing today as a three-year-old
girl. Her life, as is every life, will be a treasure.
But the tragedy is, it won’t. Emily never had this wondrous
and magical life because our Emily is one of the four million children
aborted since Barack Obama took office, since EMILY’s List helped elect
candidates in 2008 that gave Barack Obama a pro-abortion House and
Senate.
Fifty-four million Emilys have been lost since abortion was
legalized, and lost with them has been all of that joy . . . all of that
hope . . . all of those futures . . . all lost and never to be
fulfilled.
This series of 54 Reasons to Defeat Barack Obama
commemorates all those lost children and says to the world that we will
never forget.
It’s also a call to all pro-lifers to help defeat
Barack Obama and his pro-abortion allies in Congress, so that one day
every Emily will get the whole life she deserves and not have it cut short – violently and often painfully – in the womb.
Even with all of EMILY’s List’s money, we are extremely
competitive! EMILY’s List throws money at candidates, one way to try to
influence an election. But the National Right to Life Victory Fund uses far more effective and proven grass-roots techniques that get out the vote. In
head-to-head races between National Right to Life’s PAC and the
combined team of EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL
Pro-Choice America PAC, we’ve consistently won two-thirds or more of the
races!
Your donation to the National Right to Life Victory
Fund can help us win more crucial races this year . . . and give more
Emilys a future, a life to enjoy and treasure. Please click below to

pro-life friends. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Carol Tobias,
President
