Politics: February 16, 2007
Sen. Samuel Brownback and Abortion

Opponents of Sen. Sam Brownback's bid for the presidency have regurgitated news reports from 10 years ago suggesting that the candidate was once a supporter of legalized abortion. In fact, the Kansas City Star today took the unusual step of republishing one such article.

The decade old controversy is quite interesting because the allegation was based upon the recollections of a few individuals who said Brownback implied he was pro-choice in 1993. Despite a complete absence of documented statements, speeches or votes that would suggest he supported abortion, journalists and politicians now assert that he has flip-flopped on the issue.

Brownback has a congressional record that is 100% pro-life. He has consistently opposed child killing and destructive embryonic stem cell research and his remarks during the Supreme Court nomination hearings of Roberts and Alito were arguably the most poignantly pro-life of all speakers.

If elected President, there is no question what class of Supreme Court Justice he would nominate or whether or not he would sign legislation seeking justice for the unborn and veto bills in which the dignity of human life is assailed.

I don't know where Brownback stood on abortion prior to 1994 when he served as the Kansas Secretary of Agriculture or whether his views regarding legal protection for the unborn were developing. However, his record in office and public speeches are plain enough.

Reckon his entering full communion with the Catholic Church might explain anything? Conversion happens every day.

Senator Brownback is 100% pro-life, yet he teamed-up with ultra-radical left wing Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), who openly supports the murder of human fetuses, in Cosponsoring the pathetic 'International Marriage Broker Regulation Act' (or IMBRA).

This bill, which became effective on March 6th, 2006, is one of the most UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ANTI-FAMILY laws in the history of the United States. Senators Brownback and Cantwell discreetly attached IMBRA to another bill, the 'Violence Against Women Act of 2005'. IMBRA is better decribed as the 'International Romance Regulation Act', which is exactly what it is.

Under Senator Brownback's draconian law, all Americans (mostly conservative American men), must submit a detailed criminal background report in order to communicate with a woman in a foreign country. How absurd! The form is likely to get lost in the mail, and she will have no incentive to respond back (again by postal mail) without a photo or bio. This law applies for all forms of communication including: e-mail, telephone, postal mail, text messaging, and in-person meetings. I kid you not. Penalties for violators are $25,000 fine and up to 5 years in prison. In order to drum up support for his ridiculous bill, Senator Brownback along with other proponents (radical feminist group Tahirih Justice Center) concocted the sinister-sounding label 'marriage broker'. What is a 'marriage broker'? It is nothing more than an introduction or penpal service. So now all-of-a-sudden according to the U.S. Government, a penpal service will now be known as a 'marriage broker'. For your information Senator Brownback, nobody is getting married, and nobody is being 'brokered' when two consenting heterosexual adults decide to communicate.

This outrageous law also has scrutinized ALL international marriages no matter how the couples actually met. Most international marriages do not involve sinister-sounding 'marriage brokers', but because the government has no way of knowing how a couple actually met (it is none of their business anyways), they decided to crack-down on visa petitioners. Now any irrelevant DUI's, misdemeanors, fraudulent protection orders, and even arrests not leading to any conviction must be disclosed to your fiancee, which is a good way to become un-engaged. This is exactly what Senator Brownback and the feminists want. Their goal was to shut down introduction agencies and to keep American men away from foreign women. This law is a SCANDAL based on fraud, deception, cooked statistics, and propoganda regarding abuse and trafficking of foreign women to support ulterior motives. In reality, there has never been any convictions for human trafficking involving an introduction agency. And there are no documented cases of abuse of foreign women by American men prior to marriage.

On December 16th, 2005, Senator Brownback told his colleagues in the Senate that the "Tahirih Justice Center are frontline experts" and that customers of 'marriage brokers' (a false label) "need to clean up their act". No Senator Brownback, you "need to clean up your act". After he was elected, he took an oath to uphold the Constitution. But his draconian law violates the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, and 10th Ammendments to the Constitution. His law declares that all American males are violent abusers and wife beaters unless proven innocent. I disagree!

Senator Brownback has criminalized international love letters. And he has partnered with a wacko feminist not-for-profit organization named after an Iranian martyr: the Tahirih Justice Center. Senator Brownback has alot of explaining to do.
He is unfit to be Seantor or President.
