That’s interesting.
I don’t think all Dems are minions of Satan - naive, perhaps, but of course that’s what Satan loves. I’m glad at least some of them seem to be having a wake up call.
Either they are blissfully clueless (You mean I have to read this bill before I vote on it?) or they think that the citizens of this country are unbelievably stupid. This is the letter I received from my senator. How dumb does he think we are????
Dear Mrs. XXXXX:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on upcoming health care reform legislation. I can understand your view that tax dollars should not be spent to fund abortion services. Please be assured, your tax dollars do not fund abortion services and it is against the law to use federal funds for this purpose.
After the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, Congress enacted restrictions on the use of federal money for abortions. The so-called "Hyde Amendment" restricted the use of Medicaid funds for abortion services.
In 1970, Congress passed the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. This act contained a section entitled Title X that provides grants to public and private nonprofit agencies that supply voluntary family planning services. The law stipulates that no clinic may be fully funded by Title X funds, nor may Title X funds be used to perform abortions.
There are no plans in the current Congress to overturn these laws nor to include coverage for abortion procedures in upcoming health care legislation. Thank you again for getting in touch with me.
Sincerely,
Sherrod Brown
United States Senator
