Congress is considering a massive health care reform bill that would result in taxpayer funding of abortion in every health care plan, public or private. During the August recess, pro-lifers must insist that President Obama and Congress respect the consciences of millions of Americans and exclude any funding for abortion in a new health care program. In his speech to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in July of 2008, President Obama stated that in his mind "reproductive care is essential care, basic care, so it is at the center, the heart of the [health care] plan that I propose." When asked for clarification later, an Obama spokesman said that “reproductive care included abortion.” If Health Care reform passes without an explicit ban on abortion funding or coverage, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius will force the American people to directly pay for abortions for years to come. Please tell your Representatives in Congress to continue the current policy of limiting taxpayer funds for abortion. Tell them you don't want your tax dollars to pay for abortions because abortion is not health care!
