Washington, DC -- A leading pro-life group has uncovered a questionnaire the campaign of Barack Obama filed with a pro-abortion web site. The survey makes it clear that Obama's national health care plan would include abortions and that they would likely be funded at taxpayer expense.

Bush allowed $2.2+B to Planned Parenthood so no biggie, I guess. NOT

Taxpayers have been funding abortions indirectly for a long time. I am more worried about other ways Obama will advance the pro-abortion cause—he plans to make it a “civil right” which means overriding the rights of conscience of anyone who opposes abortion.

Barack’s plan would require Catholic hospitals to perform abortions on demand. Those hospitals will close rather than comply. 25$ of all hospital beds are in them. How’s that for a healthcare crisis?

Read the “Freedom of Choice Act”.

The language of it will make you cringe, but the meaning of it is worse -

NO RESTRICTIONS on abortion allowed in any state for any reason.

This needs to be made into an ad. No one wants their retirement funds that Obama and the Dems plan to loot to pay for abortion-on-demand.

Catholic hospitals could shut down as a result of this. It will create a health-care crisis like you wouldn't believe. That's at the core Obama's universal health care plan: secular hospitals willing to do his bidding.

They want control very badly and they want us to pay for that enslavement. That's what all this is really about...using your Christian beliefs, faith and morals against you.

Thank God He is still on His throne. He hasn't weighed His will on this yet.

In 2009, the plan for Universal Health Care will cover abortion.

In 2017, the plan will be adjusted to include doctor assisted suicide.

In 2023, the plan will be adjusted to restrict selective surgery for patients older than 62.

In 2032, the plan will be adjusted to encourage the elderly to opt for doctor assisted suicide.

In 2039, the plan will be adjusted to mandate doctor assisted suicide for “unapproved” patients above the age of 67.

Get ready for change.

In 2039, President-for-Life Barack Obama will be starting his 31st year in office. But not to worry—by that time we’ll all have been killed by Iranian nukes.

I can’t see Obama yielding on this—he is an extremist on the abortion issue. The media will be beating up on Catholic hospitals for refusing to go along. Maybe some of them won’t close but will just shed their Catholic affiliation.

Federal regs allow for abortions if the life of the mother is in danger. CFR 441.200 thru 441.208. A narrow definition, to be sure, and requires documentation from a healthcare provider, but public health has been paying for abortions for years.

The language in those regs is actually restrictive in nature, but it does NOT prevent all abortions, except where it meets the requirements in the regs.

Don’t forget the Catholic doctors and nurses who will refuse to practice if they’re forced to refer for abortions.
