Dear Friend of Life,

As a resident of Minnesota House District 20A, it is important for you to know exactly how your state representative, Andrew Falk, has been voting on life issues. During the last two years in the Minnesota State House of Representatives, MCCL scored 12 of the votes that he cast. Rep. Falk voted anti-life 10 out of 12 times. The entire list of anti-life votes cast can be found on our website.

Here are a few of the anti-life votes Rep. Falk cast:

• Taxpayer funding of abortion (Rep. Patti Fritz, DFL-Faribault) Amendment to ban taxpayer funding of abortion in Minnesota. Falk voted NO.
• Taxpayer funding of saline abortions (Rep. Patti Fritz, DFL-Faribault) Amendment to ban taxpayer funding of gruesome saline abortions. Falk voted NO.

It is also important to know where Rep. Falk's opponent, Jay Backer, stands on the life issues. Jay Backer has given a 100% pro-life response to the MCCL candidate questionnaire. Jay Backer has made a commitment to oppose taxpayer funded abortions, human cloning and abortion on demand. Jay Backer is 100% pro-life.

The Minnesota Department of Health recently released its annual Abortion Report to the Legislature. The Report documents 12,388 abortions performed in our state in 2009, with 79 of those abortions performed on unborn children at 21 weeks gestation or older.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services also recently reported on taxpayer-funded abortions. The numbers reveal that state taxpayers paid more than $1.5 million to the abortionists to kill 3,754 unborn Minnesotans in 2008.

It is crucial that the facts concerning Rep. Falk's voting record and Jay Backer's position on life issues be made available to all residents of House District 20A. If you would like to contribute to that effort, please consider making an online donation today. We truly appreciate your support!

Sincerely,

Leo F. LaLonde

President
