Last September when speaking to Congress, President Obama clearly stated that under the Democratic health care reform plan "no federal dollars will be used to fund abortion." Not only does the health care reform bill passed by the Senate permit federal dollars to fund abortion, but President Obama's proposed modifications to the bill which were released today do nothing to stop federal funding of abortion. On the contrary, Douglas Johnson, the legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee, says President Obama's propsal increases the potential for this funding. According to nrlc.org, Johnson contends, "If all of the President's changes were made, the resulting legislation would allow direct federal funding of abortion on demand through Community Health Centers, would institute federal subsidies for private health plans that cover abortion on demand (including some federally administered plans), and would authorize federal mandates that would require even non-subsidized private plans to cover elective abortion." Our pro-abortion president has every intention of pushing the funding of abortion on American citizens. Please notify your Senators and Representative that you are watching what they do and will hold them responsible for their votes on health care. Let them know your stand on federal funding of abortion. For information on how to contact your senators and representative, open the "Contact Congress" page at unitedtostopabortion.com. If ever we need to make our voices heard in Washington, it is now.
May God have mercy on our nation.
