Government-funding of abortion is back – actually it never really left but rather was pushed under the radar for awhile. No longer though.
President Obama introduced his version of healthcare reform this morning, which is pretty close to the pro-abortion Senate version of healthcare, rather than the House side. The House version includes the Stupak Amendment, which bars the government from funding abortion, while the Senate version, and Obama’s version, don’t have the Stupak Amendment.
From the LA Times:
The president did not propose any changes to the Senate bill’s restrictions on federal funding for abortion, which would require any woman buying a subsidized health plan with abortion services to pay separately for the abortion benefit.
Led by Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Democrats are going full steam ahead on healthcare. They are purposefully driven and focused on passing some sort of healthcare reform bill that would be a disaster for the unborn and all pro-lifers and even those pro-choicers who don’t want to fund abortion with government money.
Dan Perrin at RedState says that basically the Dems are losing their minds over Obamacare and are irrationally desperate:
The Dems cannot accept the defeat of ObamaCare and will try reconciliation because Majority Leader Reid is desperate for liberal support for his failing re-election effort; Speaker Pelosi is genuinely irrational about ObamaCare, and the President believes that the entire Dem Congress should politically self-destruct to save his bill.
And Human Events reports today that Reid wants to ram through Obamacare in the next two months using a procedural trick.
And yet, Obama keeps talking about bi-partisanship but when it comes to the only issue that had bi-partisan support – that the government NOT fund abortion on demand – he trashed it.
Action is needed NOW! We know calling/emailing/visiting your Representatives gets old after awhile but they absolutely need to hear from you. Tell them that you will not support any bill that does not include the Stupak Amendment. Need some help reaching your Reps? Go HERE to find out who need to contact.
