Health Care Reform Not Dead

With the election of Republican Scott Brown (Massachusetts) to the Senate seat formerly held by Democrat Ted Kennedy, the Democrats no longer hold a filibuster-proof Senate, but this does not mean the attempt to pass an abortion-funding health care bill is over. Two possible courses of action the Democrats might take to pass their legislation were mentioned previously (House passage of the Senate health care bill with no amendments; the reconciliation procedure). A third course of action would be to convince a Republican senator to cross party lines and vote with the Democrats. At his press briefing on Tuesday (January 19), Robert Gibbs gave the following response when asked why the President and the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nevada) didn't work harder to keep Republican Senator Olympia Snowe (Maine) on their side: "The President continues to work hard on that." Senator Snowe voted for the Senate Finance Committee's health care reform bill. According to the official statement released by Senator Snowe after Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts, she will "continue to play a constructive role to improve the bill". She states that constituents in Maine are concerned about the costs and fees in the health care reform bill. If Reid gives special concessions to pacify small businesses in Maine, would Senator Snowe vote for the bill? Please continue to pray that our government will not facilitate abortion by funding it. Please pray that Senator Snowe will change her pro-abortion stand.

May God have mercy on our nation.
