*April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month*

        Sexual abuse
<https://cts.vresp.com/c/?ConsistentLifeNetwor/d575016710/d8684bb78f/893778d7c3>
is common in war and connected to abortion, poverty and racism. Here are
blog posts of ours addressing the topic:

*Referendums *

        We’ve added a category of Tax Relief under our heading of Poverty.
We obviously won’t include the kind of tax relief that benefits the rich,
but we do find some that can help with those of lower income. This year we
find three:

Arkansas
<https://cts.vresp.com/c/?ConsistentLifeNetwor/d575016710/d8684bb78f/4c4e2153ce>:
Exempt Feminine Hygiene Products and Diapers from Sales Tax

Missouri
<https://cts.vresp.com/c/?ConsistentLifeNetwor/d575016710/d8684bb78f/266125eae5>:
Property Tax Exemption for Childcare Establishments

South Dakota
<https://cts.vresp.com/c/?ConsistentLifeNetwor/d575016710/d8684bb78f/e2eab02d00>:
Prohibit Taxes on Groceries

        Also, we’ve found that New Hampshire
<https://cts.vresp.com/c/?ConsistentLifeNetwor/d575016710/d8684bb78f/acb717adac>
has a possible referendum on a state constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery and involuntary servitude. It appears they’ve never had one before.

*Political Dynamics*

        Ross Douthat as a conservative columnist for *The New York Times*
has often made good pro-life points in that venue that we’ve quoted. For
those interested in following different ideas on how political happenings
might impact social movements, he recently published a thoughtful piece on How
the Pro-Life Movement’s Deal With Trump Made America More Pro-Choice

Bishop Thomas Gumbleton on *Democracy Now*, April 12, 2013

[image: 704 Gumbleton 2 2]        Well, on abortion, I certainly stand with
the idea that it’s evil and immoral, a crime to kill an infant, even in the
womb. And the killing of any human person, I am convinced, is evil and
wrong. I believe in what Eileen Egan, a peace activist who helped Dorothy
Day at the Catholic Worker, developed the idea of a spectrum, a seamless
garment. If you’re going to be against violence, you have to be against all
violence. And so, if abortion is an attempt to bring about a violent
solution to a very complicated problem, I don’t think a violent solution is
the right solution.
