ProlifePages.com calls on all Pro life supporters to educate Missouri voters and get them out to vote NO on Amendment 2.
Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) October 25, 2006 -- ProlifePages.com calls on all Pro life supporters to educate Missouri voters and get them out to vote NO on Amendment 2.
"Missouri State Amendment 2 would legalize the manufacturing and destruction of human beings by legalizing cloning through a process known as Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). Existing human beings would also be used for scientific experimentation," said Steve Sanborn, president of ProlifePages.com located in Kansas City, Missouri.
Amendment 2 bans only cloning that involves planting an embryo within the womb. It specifically prohibits government from interfering with somatic cell nuclear transfer, which involves replacing the nucleus of a human egg outside the womb -- the cloning procedure used to produce Dolly the sheep.
"Regardless of what Amendment 2 supporters are saying on TV, billboards or in person, they are lying to the people of Missouri in order to get this amendment passed to create a national industry," Sanborn added. "Essentially they have to lie, because they know that the vast majority of Missourians oppose fetal stem cell research and cloning which amount to nothing less than medical cannibalism."
ProlifePages.com is a new organization listing businesses that wish to be known for their prolife stance. The company is calling on all pro life people in the US to contact those they know in Missouri, particularly by email and phone, to be sure all are educated about Amendment 2 and the need to get out and vote no.
"Pro life organizations never have the financial backing to fight a group like the Stowers Institute which is funding the deceitful marketing campaign with $27.7 million or 97% of its budget," Sanborn said. "This is apparently how much it costs to beat back the will of the people. Ours is always a grassroots fight to protect innocent human life -- theirs is a fight to create yet another billion dollar industry by playing God at the expense of innocent human lives."
If Amendment 2 passes in Missouri, similar legislation could easily pass in other states across the country. Sanborn says this particular fight is not a Missouri issue, but rather a national issue. While thousands of yard signs are up all over the state saying "Vote No on Amendment 2," Sanborn says he fears it is no match for the many television commercials, bill boards and other marketing efforts pounding Missourians every day until election day.
"The amendment opens with a lie and is followed by two-thousand pages of rhetoric that spells out the real truth," says Sanborn. "The lawyers who wrote Amendment 2 work for giant biotechnology labs that plan to make billions of dollars by cloning humans for research -- They're hoping no one wants to read their two-thousand page document."
Unequivocally, the proposal tries to keep politicians from interfering with its approved cloning process: "(N)o state or local government body or official shall eliminate, reduce, deny or withhold any public funds provided or eligible to be provided to a person that lawfully conducts stem cell research or provides stem cell therapies and cures."
"There is no time to read it all at this point -- the point is to get the word out to every person in Missouri as quickly as possible from inside and outside the state," says Sanborn.
ProlifePages.com provides a link to Amendment 2 information and hopes it will be forwarded to all Missourians.
ProlifePages.com offers free and paid online listings to prolife businesses in the US that want to be connected with like-minded consumers.

ProlifePages.com Web Directory Launches to Connect Prolife Consumers, Businesses — Amidst Changing Laws and Attitudes About Abortion, New Company Offers Online Medium to Build Prolife Network and Funding Source
Getting prolifers on the same page locally and nationally - that is why ProlifePages today introduced www.prolifepages.com - to facilitate economic action on the part of prolife consumers and product and service providers. The result - a viable networking and revenue source for likeminded businesses and consumers to support each other and charitable prolife needs.
(PRWEB) March 8, 2006 -- Connecting prolife consumers and businesses – that is the purpose of www.prolifepages.com, a new online directory tool launched today by ProlifePages, LLC.
“Prolife America has long needed a mechanism that could help get prolife people on the same page, on the local and national level,” said ProlifePages president, Steve Sanborn. “A great way to aid that process is by focusing on what we already do as consumers and product and service providers.”
Sanborn says the web directory www.prolifepages.com is starting with the simple “Let’s Connect” concept – and a plan to alert their audience (55% of the nation), to achieve consistent exposure and to collect modest annual fees for business listings. All company profits are donated to support prolife charitable organizations.
“The vision is simple,” says Sanborn. “It’s someone needing new windows for a home, or a new car, or financial advice for investments or any of the everyday products and services we all want and need over and over again. Connecting with likeminded businesses can make a major difference for prolife efforts.
“ProlifePages offers a beginning for changing how and where prolife consumers look for the products and services they need – and how businesses view the power of the prolife market. The connections are already there, they’re just not neatly arranged in an accessible online list for the world to see and share. That’s what ProlifePages.com is for.”
Sanborn says ProlifePages wants to be the first directory every prolife person uses to find product and service needs, even for business-to-business needs. The fact the company turns profits over to prolife charities will likely be good incentive for consumer and business use.
“We’re starting today,” said Sanborn. “This has been and will be a labor of love, and we need Prolife America to see it that way too. A lot of people are excited about networking, our sales representative opportunities and more importantly the future for positive change.
Listed businesses pay a modest annual fee for local and national exposure to markets that Sanborn says are largely made up of prolife consumers.
A particular interest to businesses may be that prolife consumers are often very loyal customers particularly to the like-minded businesses they frequent, often giving product and services referrals to family and friends without any prompting.
The web directory concept has been hailed by many as a positive step in the right direction for prolifers.
“The prolife majority has a tremendous amount of potential,” says Jack Cashill, executive editor of the Midwest business magazine, Ingram's. “This is a great way to capture that potential and turn it into something defined and effective.”
ProlifePages also offers prolife charities the opportunity to work with the company in ways that fit current programs and schedules and to raise funds.
Revenue generated by www.prolifepages.com will be distributed via the ProlifePages Charitable Fund to prolife charities, particularly those that counsel expectant mothers, provide or wish to provide ultrasound services and work with adoption.
The company is gaining exposure for the online directory via media outlets, newswires, email referrals and a growing national sales force.
“There is an inherent value in fine tuning our business and purchasing habits,” says Sanborn. “Doing so will still bring us what we want and need as consumers, but it will also help to make a big difference for moms and babies in need.
“Fortunately, many prolife consumers seem to know where not to shop, but there’s not much out there to tell us where to shop and who to do business with.”
“Nothing changes for consumers or businesses – we all keep doing what we do every day, just with greater focus. We all need services and products and now the right tool exists to bring the right people together, form good purchasing habits and help moms and babies too.”
