PETITION: Keep abortion out of the Smithsonian!

  • 2,549
 

Congress's huge omnibus spending bill, attached to the COVID relief bill, funds a new 'Women's History' museum for the Smithsonian Institution.

And, while it is debatable whether or not "equality" demands a whole museum dedicated to women's accomplishments as distinct from those of men, what is not debatable is the potential for using this new museum as a platform for the promotion of abortion.

Please SIGN this petition demanding that the new 'Women's History' museum will not now, or ever, promote abortion in any of its exhibits or programs.

But, why is this even a question?

Because, House Bill HR 1980, which authorized the building of a women's museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C., and which passed the House by wide margins in February, 2020, states that curators will take steps to ensure "diversity of political viewpoints in exhibits and programs."

This is a bad sign, one which could lead to the promotion of abortion as a "political viewpoint."

Therefore, we must remind the curators of the Smithsonian, the Congress and the President that abortion is not a "political viewpoint." Abortion is, rather, the barbaric killing of an innocent human being and a personal tragedy for the mother and others involved.

And, it is also a national tragedy - not something which can be reduced to "civil discourse," as there is nothing "civil" about abortion.

As such, abortion should never be promoted, and especially never by any agency or museum receiving federal funding.

This petition is being CC'ed to the Congress and the President so that if this museum ever starts to promote abortion, they can intervene to stop funding the museum or the Smithsonian.

Please SIGN and SHARE this important pro-life petition today, and keep abortion out of the Smithsonian!
