For the first time in the House and Senate, pro-lifers are faced with the "family planning" nightmare Family Research Council has been warning about: government funding for abortionists. For weeks, key players in the abortion movement have been working with the Obama administration to guarantee that they would profit from any health care overhaul. That lobbying could pay off--quite literally--in the House. FRC
Whether it's hiding in coverage for "family planning" or "outpatient clinics," groups like Planned Parenthood will find a way to become eligible for federal funding. For this reason, FRC is working with Congress to include a provision that specifically and permanently excludes abortion coverage from any health care "reform" plan. Just as taxpayers shouldn't be forced to finance abortion, medical workers shouldn't be required to participate in them. Regardless, not one of the bills currently under consideration includes a conscience exemption to protect health care workers. FRC
TAKE ACTION: Joe DeCook of AAPLOG helpfully explains how to take action on this important issue. "Go to http://www.frc.org/issues. At the top right corner, click on ACTION ALERTS box—actually click on the hot link in that box entitled "Oppose Federal Funding of Abortion in Health Care Legislation." That will bring up a page labeled ALERT. Click on the hot link box which says "Contact your member of Congress…" That will bring up the next page, where you enter your personal information. There is an OPTIONAL box for credit card # if you choose to contribute to FRC for this project. After entering your required information, go near the bottom and click on NEXT —This brings up (mid page) the actual letter that goes to YOUR own congress people. (You may edit the letter if you wish) The personal info is already filled in, all you have to do is, at the bottom, hit SEND MESSAGE."
