Emergency
Email from David Bereit.. on the present danger of the effort to stop pro life bills use tax money to fund pro
choice education abortions and side track parents and tax payers who would object to this effort. sent July 20 2009
This email came today July 21 2009
Even as we get ready to open registrations for the
fall
40 Days for Life campaign this Wednesday, July
22, an EMERGENCY situation has arisen in our nation's
capital that
requires immediate action!
Powerful abortion industry lobbyists and Washington,
D.C. bureaucrats have just
launched a MASSIVE effort
to mandate taxpayer-funded abortions as part of their
proposed trillion-dollar healthcare
takeover.
This abortion industry power-grab is attempting to:
* Impose one of the cornerstones of the
"Freedom of
Choice Act" (FOCA) by stealth
* Force taxpayers to fund a huge abortion
industry
bailout -- something the majority of Americans
oppose, and certainly
cannot afford in these tough
economic times
* Mandate that virtually every American be forced
into a health plan that includes abortion coverage
* Require honorable medical providers to
violate
their consciences and perform abortions -- or risk
losing their jobs
This morning's New York Times features a prominent
story confirming that an "administration official
refused Sunday to rule out the possibility that
federal tax money might be used to pay for abortions
under proposed
health care legislation."
Put bluntly, these proposed measures could lead to the
largest abortion expansion
since Roe v. Wade.
This abortion mandate must be STOPPED!

40 Days for Life has been
asked to organize a gigantic
nationwide webcast uniting the whole pro-life movement
to stop this mandate.
