"Emily's List" is   a feminist organization   within the Democrat Party, USA, and the  ALP,    Australia,   which raises money  to have  pro-abortion  women elected to  parliament.  Emily's List candidates  also  support    "diversity",  meaning homosexual "rights".  "Emily" stands for Early Money Is Like Yeast. 

In Australia Emily's List was founded by ex-premiers, Joan Kirner,  Victoria  and Carmen Lawrence,   WA.  It  has propelled   115 pro-abortion women into state and federal parliaments.  Candy Broad, MLC , Northern Victoria, whose Bill  aims  to decriminalize abortion, is a member. 

Kath Woolf, spokesman,  Australian Federation of Right to Life Associations says:  "Candy Broad's  male ALP colleagues, some of whom have indicated they would not support her Bill  either do not understand or acknowledge  the influence of  pro-abortion women in   our parliaments.  A core strength  in this group are   ALP   members of Emily's  List which supports pro-abortion women from pre-selection   on; in power these candidates owe allegiance to this agenda. 

"Even more dangerously  they are the strong glue for the cross-party women's alliances demonstrated in  federal legislative initiatives in 2006: the 'Lockhart Bills' [on embryo experimentation and cloning],  the RU-486 regulatory regime [the abortion pill] and the attempted silencing of pregnancy support groups by punitive measures,   still on-going. 

"If  Labor colleagues expect consultation  on the Party's standing on  divisive topics, they are living in another universe. The alliance between Emily's List-supported Labor  women MPs in  Australian parliaments and non-Labor pro-abortion women MPs is growing stronger;  their weapon of choice is the Private Member's bill.  Major parties can dodge making policy decisions defending core values by  offering a 'conscience' vote' ". 

Emily's List  won't tolerate ANY restrictions on abortion, even on viable   full-term babies.   Candy Broad's Bill has  been motivated by  controversy surrounding the abortion of Jessica, the 32-weeks gestation baby   wrongly suspected of being a dwarf.     This is the only  case in which   abortionists may have had to face  charges  - in fact they did not, and nor do the abortionists of the  20,000 abortions performed yearly in Victoria. 

US Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana is "pro-choice",  but she  voted for a ban on partial birth abortion which the US Supreme Court  described as  "a gruesome and inhumane procedure that is never medically necessary and should be prohibited".  In 1996 when  Mary   Landrieu first ran for the  Senate, Emily's List   gave her $112,000, but cut her off  from further donations after she supported  the  ban on partial-birth abortions.   Emily's List  candidates must support the termination of  a baby's life moments from birth.  They need our prayers.

Known to the world only as "Rosita," a nine year old Nicaraguan child impregnated by a rapist several years ago became the international poster girl for the pro-abortion movement.  Since 2003 her "hard case" pregnancy has been used to promote the cause of "therapeutic abortion" in Nicaragua and worldwide, inspiring numerous articles, petition drives, and even a documentary featured on the cable TV channel Cinemax. 

Now, media sources in Nicaragua have uncovered the fact that "Rosita" has a living child (different from the unborn child that was  aborted in the high-profile 2003 case) by her own stepfather, the  man who pro-abortion feminists helped escape to Costa Rica during a criminal investigation of the  rape.  The scandal has made headlines across Nicaragua; Fletez Sanchez,  who was in hiding has now been arrested.    Sanchez had been suspected by investigators from the beginning of the case in 2003, when "Rosita's" pregnancy was accidentally discovered in Costa Rica by medical authorities while treating her for a vaginal infection.  The family attempted  to blame a Costa Rican man, who denied the charges. 

When pro-abortion feminists from the "Network of Women Against Violence" discovered the girl's situation, they helped Sánchez and his wife  smuggle “Rosita” out of Costa Rica and back to Nicaragua, where they used the case as part of their campaign to promote "therapeutic abortion" in Latin America, claiming   it was necessary to protect the health of the girl.  In the absence of the stepfather, Costa Rican authorities were unable to obtain the DNA tests necessary to prove the identity of the rapist. 

Ultimately, the feminist group secured an abortion at an unnamed site in Nicaragua after obtaining signed approval from three handpicked doctors.  “Rosita's” extreme case was trumpeted by the pro-abortion movement worldwide as a heroic rescue of a victimized child, and an example of the need to make abortion more available to women in Latin America.......  

However, the revelation that “Rosita” has a child, now eighteen months old, fathered by her stepfather, has all but eliminated doubt about the identity of “Rosita's” rapist in 2003.  Sanchez, who is in hiding, has admitted in telephone interviews that he has had an ongoing sexual relationship with his stepdaughter, and claims that his wife has known all along.  He also claims that “Rosita” is  much  older than previously believed, a claim also made by neighbors of the family.   If this is true,  it would further erode the health concerns cited by doctors in 2003 to justify “Rosita's” abortion. 

Nicaraguan authorities are now engaged in a nationwide manhunt for Sanchez.  Dr. Rafael Cabrera Artola, President of the pro-life group ANPROVIDA and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the Institute of Medical Science in Nicaragua, said  the recent revelations would be very damaging to the pro-abortion movement in Nicaragua, which has been caught in "a lie, a deception." 

Under  questioning from the Nicaraguan media at a  press conference, the "Women's Network Against Violence" admitted  they had known about the birth of "Rosita's" child, but they had been told the father was a boyfriend from her school.  

After four years of using "Rosita" as a "symbol" of the movement for "therapeutic abortion", the Network's representatives downplayed the importance of the case, which they said was "similar to many in which we intervene as an organization." 

Meanwhile, the Costa Rican government continued its investigations and Alexis Barquero, the Costa Rican originally accused by “Rosita”, spent three months in jail. In a recent interview with Nicaragua's Nuevo Diario newspaper he recalled the destruction of his reputation, assaults by other prisoners, and contemplating suicide.  Although his father, and the Costa Rican government, pleaded for DNA tests to be done by the Nicaraguan government, they were never done.  However, previous blood tests of “Rosita” in Costa Rica  showed  she had contracted multiple  venereal diseases from her rapist, including Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).  Barquero was tested for the same diseases, and the results were negative. In July  this year, after more than four years of investigation, a Costa Rican court finally cleared him of all charges.
