According to huffingtonpost.com, the Democrat leadership of the House and the Senate will not call a conference committee to iron out differences between the House and Senate health care bills; rather, they will do their work behind closed doors. The Senate bill will be the basis for negotiation, with amendments being added. This will prevent opponents of specific items in the bill from making motions to recommit (send the bill back to committee), and will thus eliminate debate and delays. According to lifenews.com, President Obama met today with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer in the Oval Office, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin joining by telephone, to discuss strategy. The White House has already expressed displeasure with the House's Stupak Amendment(prohibiting federal funding of abortion). House leadership was also not pleased with the amendment. Please continue to pray that Representative Stupak and the small group of pro-life Democrats who support this amendment will stand strong and not give in to pressure from their party's pro-abortion leaders. May God give them wisdom to spot all efforts to slip abortion-funding language into health care legislation.
May God have mercy on our nation.
