P.S. I was asked this week “aren’t you afraid that if this clinic closes, that it will just be replaced with a planed parenthood clinic?” I answered, “If we close the clinic then we have the obligation to keep our state abortion free, but if God closes this clinic then we do not need to fear Planed parenthood.”
Pro-life people across the state are angry with Senator Olafson’s handling of HB 1450 and how it was not given an up down vote. Pro-life people across the state are also angry about illegal abortions that took place in Fargo September 30th without Burdick charging the out of state abortionist who performed them. Mostly, pro-life people across the state are angry that for nearly 40 years the equivalent of a rural school of 25 children is aborted every week in North Dakota.
We can blame Sen. Olafson for tabling a bill that he supported less than a day before it came to a vote. Or we can stand up and be counted. We can blame states attorney Burdick for not pressing charges for the murder of unborn babies in Fargo. Or we can speak out against this blatant disregard for the law. We can even blame the Supreme Court for having overturned life protecting laws in 50 states with the Roe decision; but if we don’t do our part then we become complacent with the culture of death.
We cannot and will never become complacent! We are holding a “Jericho March” in Fargo on Saturday May 7th at 10:00 am. We hold educational conferences. We support and help crisis pregnancy centers. Pro-life educational materials are distributed in many ways and at many events. We participate in the “March for Life” in Washington, DC.
If you are among the angry that are tired of the status quo, add your voice to the chorus of discontent. Be at the “Jericho March.” Become involved with us as we continue to fight the culture of death. We are never going to stop; or quit; we will work until there is respect for all life.
NDRL is calling you and all pro-lifers to gather in Fargo for the “Jericho march”. Make a personal commitment to yourself that you are going to be a part of the culture of life grass roots movement. Encourage your friends, family members, relatives and co-workers to be involved.
Call your friends. Make a family commitment to march together. Post “Jericho March” posters in prominent locations. Offer a ride to Fargo to someone who otherwise will be unable to come.
Every act by every individual is important. Your efforts, multiplied by thousands across North Dakota become an unstoppable flood of pro-life success.
North Dakota! We will make you abortion free.

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
“Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”
Joshua 5; 13-14
Just today I was told by a Fargo city official that we should not expect more than a hundred people to show up to the Jericho March. They didn’t say this out of malice, or because they are not pro-life, but as a matter of fact.
It got me thinking. Is North Dakota ready to be abortion free? Are we ready to stand up, and make it clear to the abortion clinic, the city of Fargo, the state government, to ourselves, that we want our state to be abortion free?
In Jamestown we came out 4,000 strong. The same in other marches. This is the last abortion mill in North Dakota. Are we going to be just as strong at the end of this fight? Are we going to fade? Are we going to grow complacent with “only one” clinic? Never!
North Dakota Right to Life is not just another organization expecting to realize 100 participants. We are a grass roots community believing in the sanctity of all life. We are going to come from all corners of the state to fight for life.
Make a personal commitment to yourself that you are going to be a part of the Jericho march. Encourage your friends, family members, relatives and co-workers to be involved.
Call your friends; make a family commitment to march together; post “Jericho March” posters in prominent locations; offer a ride to Fargo to someone who otherwise will be unable to come.
Every act by every individual is important. Your efforts, multiplied by thousands across North Dakota become an unstoppable flood of pro-life success.
North Dakota! We will make you abortion free.

HB 1450 “the defense of human life” bill, was killed today by a parliamentary move by Sen. Olafosn district 10. Sen. Olafson in a rare legislative move tabled HB 1450. This ends all discussion of the bill and does not give the bill a vote, and the vote to table the bill was not a recorded vote.
However in a last minute move Sen. Miller of district 16 made a motion that no one expected. After nearly a half-hour of waiting it was decided that his even more rare maneuver would allow a recorded vote to move HB 1450 from the table. The recorded vote was 26-21 in favor of HB 1450. However it required 32 votes because of the motion to table it.
Thanks to Sen. Miller NDRL and the people of North Dakota know that HB 1450 would have been made law if it had not been for Olafson’s anti-life motion to kill HB 1450.

HB 1450 “defense of human life” will come out of committee next week possibly as soon as Monday April 4th.
We need you to call, e-mail or write your senator and ask them to support HB 1450 with no hostile amendments. It is important to say we support amendments from Senator Sitte.
After you contact your senator, also contact Senator Bob Stenjehm senate majority leader, and encourage him for party support of HB 1450
Finally contact Senator Olafson. Senator Olafson is on the subcommittee with Senator Sitte. Encourage Sen. Olafson to accept Sen. Sittes amendments.
