Report: Abortion Funding Could Sink Health Care Bill

“Democrats don’t want to talk about abortion rights, but it could sink health reform,” according to a Congress Daily report today.

As we (and many other outlets) have been reporting since last week, abortion is coming back on the radar of House leaders since Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) is doing everything he can to make sure his amendment gets a vote on the floor. His amendment simply reads that no government money would fund abortions.Speaker Nancy Pelosi

What’s so bad about that, Speaker Pelosi? A lot – many Democrats, including President Obama himself, seriously owe the abortion industry for their support and donations and what better way to pay them back than to make sure the government funds abortions.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies are working furiously to pick off pro-life Dems who are siding with Stupak on the amendment and on his threat to hold up a vote on the full healthcare bill unless he gets a vote on abortion in healthcare.

It’s crucial to call your elected Representatives at this time and tell them you want to make sure abortion funding is not included in healthcare reform and that the Stupak amendment gets a floor vote.
