Collection of Signatures On Pro-Abortion Initiative Petitions Could Be Coming Soon-Decline to Sign

Last week we reported the Secretary of State Ashcroft had appealed the decision of the Appeals Court to the Missouri Supreme Court. This week, the Missouri Supreme Court declined to hear that appeal. While there may be other procedures and possible lawsuits, it seems that collection of signatures on the horrendous pro-abortion initiative petitions will begin soon. Missouri Right to Life with a coalition of other groups have been planning for months for this eventuality and have launched the Decline to Sign Campaign. We ask that you do the following:

1. Notify Missouri Right to Life at righttolife@missourilife.org or call 573-635-5110 if there are signature gathers in your towns and communities.

2. Go to these links to educate yourselves:

3. Contact Missouri Right to Life to volunteer for the Decline to Sign campaign and future efforts.

4. Donate to Missouri Right to Life to help us fight this battle. Put donate link here.
