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!

11th Circuit Appeals Court Mandates Healthcare Unconstitutional

Last year we received the devastating news that President Barack Obama’s new Healthcare plan had passed through Congress and then through the Senate. Some of you may have even watched it live on television, I know I did . . . Today, nearly a year and half later, a Unites States Appeals Court in Georgia deemed it unconstitutional to mandate President Obama’s Healthcare plan.


For some, this new healthcare plan was an effort to provide medical care for all United States citizens. However, it was forcing Americans to purchase a health insurance plan against their will and in violation of the United States Constitution. This healthcare plan, that citizens would be forced to pay into, could cover: contraception, chemical and surgical abortion, along with risky wording regarding “end of life care” (Physician Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia). Whether you do or do not obtain services such as contraception and abortion you would have to pay for an expensive plan that covers them. Even if you’re satisfied with the health insurance you currently have, there is a strong likelihood it would not be available to you because the prices would significantly increase, or your employer would drop his employee health care plan in exchange for the Federally funded plan.

The Georgia Appeals Court is made up of three judges: 2 democrat and 1 republican. Despite President Obama insisting that mandating his healthcare plan was constitutional, even his own democratic party said otherwise. The 11th Circuit Court clearly stated:

the individual mandate contained in the Act exceeds Congress’s enumerated commerce power. This conclusion is limited in scope. The power that Congress has wielded via the Commerce Clause for the life of this country remains undiminished. Congress may regulate commercial actors. It may forbid certain commercial activity. It may enact hundreds of new laws and federally-funded programs, as it has elected to do in this massive 975- page Act. But what Congress cannot do under the Commerce Clause is mandate that individuals enter into contracts with private insurance companies for the purchase of an expensive product from the time they are born until the time they die.

It cannot be denied that the individual mandate is an unprecedented exercise of congressional power. As the CBO observed, Congress “has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States.” CBO MANDATE MEMO, supra p.115, at 1. Never before has Congress sought to regulate commerce by compelling non-market participants to enter into commerce so that Congress may regulate them. The statutory language of the mandate is not tied to health care consumption—past, present, or in the future. Rather, the mandate is to buy insurance now and forever. The individual mandate does not wait for market entry.

Here we go to the Supreme Court!

Your thoughts?

New Live Action Video -- Do the people need Planned Parenthood?

Do the people need Planned Parenthood?


Are the Medicaid funded services that were provided at Planned Parenthood unavailable at other medical care providers in Indiana?


I encourage you to ask yourself these questions while watching the latest undercover video released by Live Action:





Does the de-funding of Planed Parenthood in Indiana hurt the people of Indiana or are they still able to receive the care they need?


In May of this year the House, Senate, and governor of Indiana passed a bill de-funding Planned Parenthood in their state. Why? Planned Parenthood has been exposed numerous times over the years, and just this year Live Action has released over 8 undercover investigations exposing the lies and illegal activities of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood was not de-funded because of moral religious or beliefs, or because they perform abortions; but because of their lies, involvement it human trafficking, covering up of sexual offenders, lack of reporting sexual abuse of minors as young at 13, and much more. (Learn more at the links below)


Immediately after Indiana de-funded Planned Parenthood the Obama Administration threatened to strip Medicaid funding in Indiana.


“The Obama administration is holding patients’ health hostage in return for funding the largest abortion provider in the country,” said Lila Rose 0f Live Action. “This abuse of power is a threat to every other state – that no matter the cost or consequences, this Administration will sacrifice healthcare for the needy to continue pouring tax dollars into Planned Parenthood.”


The above video was made to help society understand the people will not be hurt by the de-funding of Planned Parenthood these services can be received at 800 other locations.


Do you think Planned Parenthood was justifiably de-funded? Should president Obama and his staff be intervening, or is he once again protecting Planned Parenthood?


Sign the petition now to stand with Indiana in de-funding Planned Parenthood.


Be sure to share this video with you colleagues to help them understand why Planned Parenthood should be de-funded.


7/1 Update --  Planned Parenthood responds to the latest Live Action video reports Life News.

ALERT: Historic Vote To De-Fund Planned Parenthood


An historic vote will take place Thursday April 14, 2011.  The Senate will decide whether or not to de-fund Planned Parenthood of more than $363 million dollars in annual funding -- which is payed for with your tax dollars.  

Whether you are pro-abortion or pro-life we can all agree that our country is broke and we need to eliminate spending, so let’s not pay for birth control and abortion provided through this funding!


In a recent email sent out by Planned Parenthood they said, “Any elected official who votes for this extreme proposal is voting against access to lifesaving cancer screenings, HIV testing, and birth control.”  The truth of the matter is that there are many other organizations that we as a country could fund that perform  cancer screenings and HIV testing, but without exploiting women through human trafficking or rape.  A woman who wants to use birth control can pay for it herself -- we don’t need to pay for a woman’s birth control!


Urge your senators to not allow Congress to continue to fund the illegal activities of Planned Parenthood and to not buy into Planned Parenthood’s lies.  Women will continue to be loved and cared for even without the funding of Planned Parenthood.  Find you senators phone number here!

See some of the horrific things Planned Parenthood has done!  Stay informed and spread the word:

Action Alert: Does your university’s health care pay for abortions?

Are your tax dollars paying for abortion through student financial aid such as the Pell Grant?




A recent study conducted by Students for Life of America reveals that 45.5% of university health care plans pay for students to have abortions.  Not only in crisis pregnancy cases, but a student may obtain an abortion for any reason and it will be covered through her university health care plan.  This does not only involve students.  Your tax dollars are paying for abortions as well through the federal Pell Grant, which many students use to help fund their education. Pell Grants help students pay for attendance fee; if the university has their health care plan paid for through attendance then money from the Pell Grant is funding elective abortion procedures which are then offered to student.  

So here is what you should do:
  1. Click here to find out if your university health care covers abortions.
  2. If your university does not cover abortions we recommend writing a letter to the school president thanking him and explaining why.
  3. If your school isn’t listed on here you should contact your school immediately to find out if abortions are covered under their health care plans.  Please contact Students for Life to share if your school funds abortions too.
If you find that your school funds abortion you should:
  1. Contact Students for Life immediately and they will help you to educate your campus.
  2. Write a letter to the president of your school explaining your opposition.
  3. Organize a student meeting to inform your campus of the abortion coverage and why you shouldn’t have to pay for abortions through your health care.
For more ideas of what to do go to NoAbortionInHealthcare.com

Stand with millions of other students to oppose abortion coverage in your health care plan!
