Changing Things Up

Because I have gone back to work as the communications director at my former employer, I have to be cautious about what I say and where I say it. Sadly, this means that this site will have to take on a different tone and purpose. It will likely focus more on writing in general, my weight loss journey, spiritual issues, and eventually–after my weight loss–what I wear to present a good impression considering that I am only 5 feet tall. My Twitter feed will still feature political issues but this site needs to be modified so that I don’t present anything that says too much or says anything that may appear to conflict with the official statements coming out from our office.

If you have followed in the past, I apologize– but I hope you stick around!

Back in the Saddle Again…

In June, I returned to my role as the communications director and a spokesperson for a national pro-life lobby group. Honestly, I missed it but my husband and I had made the decision that I would stay home when our youngest was born. It was not long after that we discovered that both of our sons would be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.

I went back to work when both boys were in school but I still missed my old job. After teaching for a few years, I began working at a pregnancy center as the development director and then the communications director but I still missed my old job.

Fortunately for me, the job duties for the person who held the role had become very broad and it was felt that the communications director needed to also be a spokesperson again. The position was split off from development–which that person was also doing.

I was asked to return to my role. (Insert excited squeal here!)

I am excited to be back but as you can see from the last post, it’s been very busy in the intervening months. I can say without a doubt, don’t burn bridges when you leave an old job and always look for ways to improve and make yourself better at what you do.

Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

The Senate voted this evening to invoke cloture (a cloture vote closes out debate and move a piece of legislation to the floor for a full vote) on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The vote to invoke cloture failed 53-44 and 60 votes were needed.

Those voting against cloture were Senate members who virulently support abortion on demand.

Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) said on the Senate floor, “I urge my colleagues to picture a baby that’s already been born, that’s outside the womb gasping for air. That’s the only thing that today’s vote is actually about. We’re talking about babies that have already been born. Nothing in this bill touches abortion access.”

Sadly, 44 senators voted against cloture–effectively saying that they support infanticide.

The bill would not affect abortion. It would only require medical personal to treat a child who is born alive after an abortion.
