Activist Infiltrates Mass. Citizens for Life

Back to main story - 'Blockers' Surround Lone Woman

December 2001

The activists are joining many conservative groups in an attempt to subvert them. This email was sent by a man who joined the Newton committee of Massachusetts Citizens for Life and left six months later with the names, addresses, home and work phone numbers and email addresses of all Newton MCFL members.

I am writing this e-mail to make aware to every one of the “Decline to Sign’ campaign being initiated by the Coalition for Equality. This is an effort to encourage Massachusetts citizens to refuse to sign the defense of marriage petitions.

We, as Pro-lifers, know the fight for equality. We work hard everyday in trying to change people’s views of the fetus being ‘lesser than’ or ‘not human’. We fight for their ‘Right To Life’ and try to make people realize the value of life and the rights of the preborn. We understand the need for protection of those whose voices are small in number or silent and can’t be heard. We gather as members of MCFL because we all believe in this common vision. MCFL needs as many supporters as it can get because our mission is a difficult one. MCFL’s sole mission is ‘to promote a respect for human life and to defend the right to life of all human beings, born and preborn’.

I am writing this e-mail in response to witnessing at both a chapter meeting and the Walk For Life, MCFL’s pushing of another mission – the Defense of Marriage. In its fight for the rights of the unborn, MCFL is helping to promote this cause, a discriminating one, called Massachusetts Citizens For Families. MCFL is helping by asking for signatures on petitions that would make an amendment to the state constitution: restricting marriage to a male and female. This unnecessary piece of legislature does nothing but create obstacles in another movements fight for freedom and equality. It discriminates and hurts families and is based on sexual orientation.

Families, today, come in a variety of colors, sizes, and sexual orientations.

All families need protection, the same protection, especially when there are children involved. As MCFL tries to fight for the rights of the unborn, they are overlooking a part of the population that is already here and still struggling for their rights.

By helping to support another cause, only stands to lose the more numbers it needs to let our voices be heard. This alienates people we need to help speak up for the unborn. It offends people. People shouldn’t be made to feel uncomfortable at our gatherings yet this is what is happening.
