“Something We Haven’t Talked About In Regard To Socialized Healthcare”

By: Debbie Durrell, Pro-Life Columnist

The healthcare legislation that is currently being considered by Congress would allow for a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions through taxpayer funding.  This decision would impact millions of women and babies, and would recast federal policy on this divisive issue.

Pro-Life proponents are motivated to keeping the pressure on President Obama and his allies in Congress to make certain that tax-payer funded abortion and rationed healthcare for the sick and the elderly will not be included in any healthcare reform plans…yet, help is needed to keep the momentum going!

Abortion is not healthcare! It is important that those of us that are Pro-Life send a clear message to President Obama and Congress that we are not in agreement with taxpayer-funded abortions.

Contact your Senators and Representatives and tell them that abortion is NOT healthcare!
