President Barack Obama’s newly-unveiled health care plan would lead to a massive expansion of abortion. According to Douglas Johnson, Legislative Director of National Right to Life:
If all of the President’s changes were made, the resulting legislation would allow direct federal funding of abortion on demand through Community Health Centers, would institute federal subsidies for private health plans that cover abortion on demand (including some federally administered plans), and would authorize federal mandates that would require even non-subsidized private plans to cover elective abortion.
We know from experience that federal funding of abortion results in an increase in the number of abortions. We can’t let that happen! Please call your Congressional Representative and urge him or her to vote against the President’s health care plan because of its federal funding of abortion and other abortion mandates. You can reach your Representative through the Congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121. Meanwhile, for breaking developments on the health care front, please go to http://www.nrlactioncenter.com/ .
