ProLife News Update 2/6

Here is a little bit of what has been going on in the pro-life world this week.

• Susan G. Komen retracts defunding Planned Parenthood; yet things are left unclear. What's really going on? Pro-lifers are pretty unanimous on where to stand concerning Komen's announcement: learn more and take action. 
• Michelle Obama continues to strengthen ties to Planned Parenthood as she campaigns for her husband's re-election reports Steven Ertelt of Life News. 
• Planned Parenthood supports women making the right to choose sex selective abortions. Read more on Life News.
• We must support a presidential candidate who is solid in his pro-life convictions. Read 'So, You Want to Elect a President'. 
• 40 Days for Life reports of a former abortion clinic worker who ran a 40 Days for Life campaign at her former work place and now the clinic is about to close! 
• NCHLA reports "Department of Health and Human Services reaffirmed a rule that under the new health care law, virtually all private health care plans must cover sterilization, abortifacients, and contraception." Take action now! 

Prayer Request: Please pray for my cousin Suzie and her baby Gregory (in picture) as she is about to deliver this little guy.

ACT Today: Protect Life Act In the House Today

I'm stopping right now to ask you to take immediate action regarding the Protect Life Act (H.R. 358) which is scheduled for consideration today, October 13th. 

Under President Obama's current Health Care plan there is no limit to the amount of tax dollars used to fund elective abortions. The Protect Life Act (H.R. 358), if passed, will prevent the funding of abortion in the Health Care plan. 

Some of the basics of what the Protect Life Act will do. 

• Uphold the Hyde Amendment which prevents any PPACA funds (tax dollars) from paying for abortion (except in the cases of rape/incest or threat to the mother's life).
• Subsidized federal funds will not be able to cover abortions that step outside of the Hyde Amendment restrictions. 
• Conscience protections upheld so that health care providers who will not take part in abortion receive federal funding without discrimination.  
• Individuals, states, and local governments will have to purchase a separate rider to cover elective abortions. This will only be allowed through private funds, not your tax dollars.

Here are the steps of action being asked of you by the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment and the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops:

ACTION: Contact your Representative by phone, e-mail, or FAX letter:

• Send an e-mail through NCHLA’s Grassroots Action Center. Click HERE. (You will also be able to send a message to your two U.S. Senators.)

• Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at: 202-224-3121, or call your Representative’s local office.

• Additional contact info can be found on Representatives’ web sites at: www.house.gov.

MESSAGE FOR HOUSE: “During floor consideration, please vote for the Protect Life Act, H.R. 358, and oppose any motion to weaken the bill. This measure will amend the health care reform law to preserve longstanding federal policies on abortion and conscience rights."

Lastly, I ask you to click the share button at the bottom of this article immediately. No TAX dollars for abortion!
