David Souter was the stealth nominee pushed on the first President Bush and promoted by the Federalist Society and National Right to Life.  The selection of Souter resulted in 30 million additional abortions, and he even timed his resignation so that Obama would fill his vacancy with another pro-abort who will hold power for another 30 years.

'''38 years ago Phyllis Schlafly defeated ERA!!!!''' As a result, we still have homemaker's Social Security, no federal taxpayer-funded abortion, no military draft of women, state laws that husbands must support their wives and children, and many single sex schools, sororities, fraternities, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. We also kept the federal government out of most issues of marriage and family, which would not have been possible if ERA had passed.

We are merely four days away from President Trump being misled and pressured to make the same mistake that the first Bush made.  This time, no grassroots voters are going to be fooled, and a campaign will then begin for Trump's advisers to withdraw their mistake, as the second President Bush had to withdraw Harriet Miers.

All four candidates being pushed by the inside-the-Beltway groups are "David Souters" or worse: Gorsuch and Kethledge are obviously pro-choice, while Pryor and Hardiman have said nothing pro-life for decades on the bench. Pryor made a pro-life statement a long, long time ago, but has pandered to the social Left ever since.

I have just given speeches to large pro-life groups in Michigan, St. Louis and Orlando in the past week, and I also sponsored a bus to the March for Life in D.C. for my 9th straight year.  These grassroots pro-lifers will not sit by quietly if Trump is misled by the D.C. lobbying insiders to break his pledge.  The grassroots pro-lifers won't be fooled by another David Souter-type deceitful pick demanded by D.C lobbyists.
+

+
−
The lobbyists are using every trick they can imagine to pull off another David Souter nomination.  Robert Bork was a heavy smoker aged 60, but he wasn't too old to be nominated. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was over 60 too.  But to push Trump away from the clear pro-life winner of Florida Supreme Court Justice Charles Canady, who has a strong pro-life record as a judge at age 62, inside-the-Beltway groups falsely pretend he's somehow too old.  Trump is 70, and we don't want a young David Souter anyway who will be there 30-40 years.

−
Heritage wrongly kept pro-life women off its list of candidates for Trump, and his advisers should correct that by having Trump interview outstanding pro-life appellate judges Jennifer Elrod and Edith Jones.  It's long overdue for a pro-life woman to be nominated.  Trump's central pledge was to nominate a pro-life Justice, not confine himself to a lobbyists' list that discriminated against pro-life women judges.  The way that advisers coach Trump to say he's confined to a list by lobbyists is degrading anyway.  Trump should pick the best available candidate who fulfills his pro-life pledge, and his advisers should recommend that he say so.

In the case of ''Pino v. U.S.'', Gorsuch discussed whether a 20-week-old "nonviable fetus" had the same rights as a "viable fetus." Gorsuch, showing that he is not pro-life, indicated that his answer is "no" unless the Oklahoma Supreme Court specially found rights for the "nonviable fetus." Rather than render a pro-life ruling, Gorsuch punted this issue to the Oklahoma Supreme Court for it to decide.  Gorsuch's approach is similar to the unjust approach based on viability that underlies ''Roe v.

We've been down this road before, with the first President Bush breaking his "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge.

'''"Phyllis Schlafly Eagles" commit to the work and their mentor and leader''' (''by Nancy Thorner'')
 +
 +
Phyllis Schlafly wished that her organization would identify that it was in fact her work, so she chose the name of Phyllis Schlafly American Eagles in May of 2016.  This is the name of the organization Phyllis designated to carry on with her program and future work.
 +
 +
Phyllis Schlafly left a great legacy and much work to be done.  Phyllis, before her death, designated  Ed Martin to be her successor, and she included her sons John and Andy in key roles in the work.  In January Ed Martin convened the 2017 Gathering of Eagles to plan for the upcoming year.  At this meeting included representatives of many of Phyllis' organizations including her Eagle Forum organizations as well as RNC for Life and America's Future. The work is plentiful and the hands were many!
 +
 +
The 2017 Gathering of Eagles was held in St. Louis, MO at the Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel from January 26 - 28, just one block away from the beautiful Phyllis Schlafly Center in Clayton, MO, which was dedicated during the event on Friday, January 27.
 +
 +
The schedule of events included panel discussions on "Pro-Life Matters"; "How to Reach the Next Generation"; "Education and Abstinence"; "What DC can do for you?"; a "Visit to Phyllis' home" where she wrote, read, and went about her daily life; and "Dedication of the Phyllis Schlafly Center by Missouri Sec. of State, Jay Ashcroft."
 +
 +
The spirit of Phyllis Schlafly was present throughout the three day 2017 Gathering of Eagles.  Phyllis' life was celebrated with expressions of love which included fond remembrances by many who had been inspired and mentored by Phyllis.  Phyllis Schlafly was an amazing woman and leader!
 +
 +
'''What you should know about Phyllis Schlafly'''
 +
 +
Phyllis Schlafly was a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, ''A Choice Not An Echo'', until her death on September 9, 20l7.  Phyllis was likewise a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972 through her founding of Eagle Forum, which was successful in its fight over the principal legislative goal of radical feminists, the Equal Rights Amendment.  [[Phyllis Schlafly, 1924-2016|Click here]] to read Andy's written eulogy for Phyllis.
 +
 +
In the naming of Eagle Forum, an organization Phyllis Schlafly founded in 1972, she received inspiration from the Bible in Isaiah 40:31: 
 +
 +
:"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
 +
:They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not
 +
grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
 +
 +
It was at a Trump rally in St. Louis, MO on March 11, 2016 that Phyllis Schlafly, in keeping with her 1964 book,  ''A Choice Not An Echo'', accordingly endorsed candidate Donald Trump. Phyllis wrote a final book before her death six months later in collaboration with Ed Martin and Brett M. Decker, ''The Conservative Case for Trump''.
 +
 +
As fate would have it, Phyllis Schlafly passed away on September 5, 2016, the day before the release of her book.  Candidate Trump revised his campaign so he could attend the funeral mass of Phyllis Schlafly at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016.

'''Celebrating Life! Dinner:  Janet Porter Promotes Heartbeat Bill'''
 +
 +
One of several noteworthy events at the Gathering of Eagles was the Celebrating Life! Dinner which featured Janet Porter.
 +
 +
Janet (Folger) Porter is the President and Founder of Faith2Action, the nation’s largest network of pro-family groups. It's mission is to win the cultural war for life, liberty, and the family.  She also hosts a 60-second daily radio commentary which airs in 200 markets, including the American Family Radio and the Bott radio network, and is a frequent contributor to WorldNetDaily.  Read more about Janet [http://www.f2a.org/about_janet.php here].
 +
 +
Ms. Porter initiated the nation’s first Heartbeat Bill in Ohio on Feb. 2011 to legally protect unborn babies with detectable heartbeats.  This effort inspired Arkansas and North Dakota to pass Heartbeat Laws–now the most protective pro-life laws in the nation.  
 +
 +
While Janet Porter and Rep. Steven King were both attending the funeral of Phyllis Schlafly in St. Louis in September 2016, Porter persuaded Rep. King to act by initiating a federal Heartbeat Bill.
 +
   
 +
“I gave him a packet and Rep. King agreed to introduce a federal Heartbeat Bill, which would protect every baby whose heartbeat can be detected. Ninety to 95 percent of the abortions will be ended with that bill.”
 +
 +
Janet Porter gave this certain and consistent marker:  It is with 96 - 97% certainty that a child will survive until a live birth when a heartbeat is heard.
 +
 +
'''Congressman King introduces Federal Heartbeat Bill'''
 +
 +
Republican Congressman Steve King, who represents the 4th District of Iowa, followed through with his promise to Janet Porter on January 12, 2017,  by releasing the following Press Release statement upon introducing “The Heartbeat Bill” that would require physicians to detect the heartbeat and prohibit the abortion of a baby with a beating heart: (HR 490, the “Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017”). 
 +
 +
This bill is modeled off similar legislation proposed in Ohio at the end of last year. Ohio governor John Kasich ultimately vetoed the state's so-called Heartbeat Bill (which he said he feared might not be constitutional) in favor of a 20-week abortion ban.
 +
 +
Even the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals recognized that “the point at which an unborn child possesses a detectable heartbeat” is a “more consistent and certain marker than viability”—where the court allows legal protection.
 +

H.R. 490 is now in the Judiciary Committee.  Rep. Steve King needs co-sponsors.

38 years ago Phyllis Schlafly defeated ERA!!!! As a result, we still have homemaker's Social Security, no federal taxpayer-funded abortion, no military draft of women, state laws that husbands must support their wives and children, and many single sex schools, sororities, fraternities, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

As we urged the Solicitor General to do, he has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court opposing the request for it to allow States to legalize sports gambling. But the Supreme Court granted cert, with amicus briefs due in mid-September on our side.

We filed this amicus brief in support of small inventors in May.
