Hear the facts and learn what you can do to help keep abortion out of healthcare! 71% of Americans (both pro-life and pro-choice) are against taxpayer funded abortions....that 71% needs to SPEAK UP and contact your state representatives to tell them you want the abortion mandate and taxpayer funded abortions REMOVED from the healthcare bill! If we do not stop this from passing it will be the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade! Abortion industry lobbyists and their allies in Congress are about to ram through mandated government funding of abortion in health care reform legislation THIS WEEK in the U.S. House of Representatives

On July 30, the House Energy and Commerce Committee added to H.R. 3200 an amendment written by staff to Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Ca.) and offered by Rep. Lois Capps (D-Ca.), both of whom have consistently pro-abortion career voting records. This “phony compromise” explicitly authorizes the “public plan” to cover all abortions.

This would drastically change longstanding federal policy. This means that any citizen who wants to take advantage of the public plan will be compelled to purchase coverage for abortion on demand.

The federal agency will collect the premium money, receive bills from abortionists, and send the abortionists payment checks from a federal Treasury account. It is a sham to pretend that this does not constitute funding of abortion. If this passes, the federal government will be running a nationwide abortion-on-demand insurance plan.

Under H.R. 3200 as amended by the Capps Amendment, some private plans may elect not to include abortion, but private plans that cover elective abortion will be federally subsidized. Both bills provide funds for the new premium-subsidy program through a new funding pipeline that would not be subject to the Hyde Amendment, which is merely a year-to-year provision that currently prevents federal funding of abortions in the Medicaid program.

As the Associated Press accurately reported in its August 5, 2009, analysis, “A law called the Hyde amendment applies the [abortion] restrictions to Medicaid . . . The [Obama-backed] health overhaul would create a stream of federal funding not covered by the restrictions.”

Further, there is no doubt whatsoever that the Obama Administration would immediately use the Capps authorization to cover elective abortions in the public plan.

On July 17, 2007, Barack Obama appeared before the annual conference of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. Speaking of his plans for “health care reform,” Obama said, “In my mind, reproductive care is essential care. It is basic care, and so it is at the center and at the heart of the plan that I propose.”

He also stated that, “What we’re doing is to say that we’re gonna set up a public plan that all persons and all women can access if they don’t have health insurance. It’ll be a plan that will provide all essential services, including reproductive services.”

Slogans like "reproductive healthcare" and "essential reproductive health services" are nothing more than marketing slogans that attempt to conceal the true agenda. Hilary Clinton herself openly states that reproductive healthcare INCLUDES abortion. We can no longer be naive, indifferent, passive or silent. We MUST urge our representatives to explicitly write in the bill that taxpayer funded abortions be REMOVED from healthcare! No American, Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, should be forced to pay for another woman's abortion. Do the right thing America.

Pray for our country's leaders that they also do the right thing.
This week will define history.
