"Help block one of the greatest threats to human life since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision imposed abortion on America..."

Join the URGENT nationwide webcast event on Thursday,
July 23, to prevent Washington D.C. bureaucrats and abortion industry lobbyists from forcing YOU to pay for abortions

Pro-Life Friends,5

Sound the alarm!

Powerful abortion industry lobbyists and Wasington, D.C., politicians have just launched a massive effort to mandate taxpayer-funded abortions as part of their proposed trillion-dollar healthcare takeover.

This political power-grab is an effort to implement one of the cornerstones of the "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA), and could lead to a massive abortion industry bailout -- something the overwhelming majority of Americans oppose, and certainly cannot afford in these tough economic times.

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain, received more than $350 million in taxpayer funding last year and ended the year with a $112 million surplus.

Now they want EVEN MORE!

It is unthinkable that -- at a time when American taxpayers are trying to stretch their dollars as far as possible, jobs are being lost, homes are foreclosed, food prices are on the rise, and the economy continues to decline -- the abortion industry's allies in Congress are trying to mandate taxpayer funding of abortion.

Under the proposed takeover, virtually every American will eventually be in a health plan that mandates abortion coverage. These heinous measures could also force honorable medical providers to violate their consciences and perform abortions -- or risk losing their jobs.

Simply stated, this abortion mandate must be STOPPED!

Learn what's at stake -- and discover how
to STOP this abortion mandate in its tracks

You are invited to participate in a one-time-only LIVE webcast event this Thursday, July 23,
at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific, 7 PM Mountain, 8 PM Central.)

The live event will be approximately 70 minutes long. If you have access to the Internet -- even with a dial-up connection -- you can listen in on the live webcast audio and ask questions.webcast

During this nationwide event, you will discover:

  • The shocking facts about the sweeping legislation that the political power brokers are trying to ram through before Congress goes on summer recess...
  • The devastating implications of the proposed mandates -- facts the abortion industry doesn't want Americans to hear...
  • Why respected leaders, national organizations, and pro-life people are joining together in record numbers to challenge this attempted power-grab...
  • The exact action steps YOU can take to make a difference at this crucial moment...
  • ... And much more!

How about stopping the whole ObamaCare program? While I am a staunch pro-lifer, I am also against killing off those that are no longer a “vital” member of society.

Can anyone tell me where to get the Health Care Plan, especially where it tells about abortion? I have liberals telling me it is my “source” that is wrong. I don’t have the time to read all of it, and I really would like to prove her wrong.

I believe they would be addressing the euthanasia issue also.

For what it’s worth, I have a Down Syndrome grandson who would have been killed by this bill.

HR 3200 specifically allows funding of family planning (read: abortion) services. Use Acrobat Reader to search the pdf of the bill for ‘family planning’ at (http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf). It is all over the bill.

The problem with trying to talk to liberals is that either they are too dumb to understand their own euphamisms or are too dishonest to admit what they really are. “Family planning” is a prime example. Plus they believe their own memes about conservatives being too dumb to know the difference.

Please please please ... liberals ONLY want Jefferson quoted when they’re able to tease out non-existent arguments such as separation of church and state. Same as quoting the Bible ... ONLY use scripture that can be twisted to fit their agenda.

The abortionist’s eye is on us
King’s niece fights this era’s civil rights battle

This is powerful. This is the lie Obama and the progressives have lead many to believe. Abortion is nothing but eugenics and its goal is minorities.

With Obama abortion controls costs. Obama also feels babies are a burden. Like Pelosi said, money to planned parenthood saves the states money.

Consider last year’s widely reported account of seven Planned Parenthood offices that agreed to accept a donation on the sole condition that the money only be used to abort black babies. The recordings of the phone calls to Planned Parenthood are chilling. Why were some offices of the organization willing to take money based on race?

Here are the added fine details to FOCA abortion. Every healthcare policy must pay for abortions after obamacare is passed. If you as a citizen refuse it as a part of your policy you will be fined 2 1/2%. If a business refuses to pay for abortions they also get fined.

So you are 60 years old, male or female, no children coming your way unless it is adoption or your grandchildren moving in, maybe you are Catholic, Maybe you just believe that abortion is not only being done for health consequences, maybe you believe killing of a baby is wrong morally, maybe you realize abortion is a money maker. And maybe you remember your friend who desperately wanted a child and could not have one. And you remember your own children and the blessing God bestowed on you.

For any of the above reasons that you may be against paying for abortion at any stage and unlimited times, Obama is forcing all to pay for his agenda.

And where is the responsibility for those who made the decision to have sex and then want taxpayers to abort the outcome?

“How about stopping the whole ObamaCare program?”

Bingo!

Here is the switchboard number:

Call 202-225-3121 and tell the 7 Blue Dogs on Energy and Commerce to vote NO.

Reps. John Barrow (D-Ga.)
Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.)
Baron Hill (D-Ind.)
Jim Matheson (D-Utah)
Charlie Melancon (D-La.)
Mike Ross (D-Ark)
Zack Space (D-Ohio)

Especially inform the so called bluedogs that you will work titrelessly to remove them from office if they vote for this bill.
