Abortion Uber Alles

Ignoring the polls and the House of

Vol. 12/No. 6

Ignoring the polls and the House of
Representatives, President Obama is pushing ahead with a health
care bill that will force Americans to pay for abortions.

He has proposed what he calls a
“targeted set of changes” to the Senate-passed bill,
which have the effect of making a bad bill for babies even worse.
(An 11-page summary is available on the White House
website here).

Bear in mind that the Senate bill
(H.R. 3590) already promotes abortion in multiple ways, making it
the most pro-abortion legislation since Roe v. Wade. The U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), a cautious critic at best,
posted
a study of the anti-life provisions of the Senate bill that ran no fewer
than thirteen (13) pages.

Now comes Obama’s version, ladling
on $11 billion for “Community Health Centers.”
Planned Parenthood will be the beneficiary of much of this
money, as the President helps his friends at the abortion
organization get even richer off our tax dollars.

Obama also wants to subsidize
private health insurance that covers abortion, and to mandate that
even non-subsidized plans to cover abortion, in effect forcing all
of us to pay for someone else’s abortion.

The House bill (H.R. 3962), on the
other hand, has no place in Obama’s plan, patently because it was
stripped of its abortion language by the Stupak-Pitts Amendment.

There are plenty of other problems
in Obamacare: Lifesaving medical treatment will be rationed,
costs will be raised, and more bloated federal bureaucracies will
be created, including a federal commission that will decide what
kind of health care Americans are entitled to. Fines will be
levied on those who do not join a government-approved plan.

Next the government will order that
we all eat arugula on Tuesdays—for our own good, of
course.

But for us, the Right to Life is the
paramount issue. We cannot let the government of our beloved
country get into the abortion business.

We remain, after all, a democracy.
We elected the men and women who are determined to promote
and perform abortions using our tax dollars. We would all be
complicit in the abortions that follow.

Now would be an excellent time to
contact your congressman and senators and tell them that you do not
want to pay for someone else’s abortion.

They can all be reached through the
congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
