Reconciliation Spells Trouble for the Unborn You would think by now that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama would have gotten the message from Massachusetts, the most pro-Democrat state in America. Americans in Massachusetts voiced their view on the Senate Health Care Reform Bill by electing Republican Scott Brown, who ran a campaign saying that he would stop the bill. It should be obvious to our Congress that America does not want this bill. It would seem, though, that Democratic leadership has gone deaf and have instead come up with a new plan to pass the Senate Health Care Reform Bill called reconciliation, or the “nuclear” option. Reconciliation is a process where a budgetary bill can be passed with only 51 votes in Senate, which is what Democrats hope to do to pass the pro-abortion Senate Health Care Reform Bill. If this were to happen it would be a tremendous blow to the pro-life movement. Put simply, if passed, the bill would spend federal dollars, your tax money, on health care plans that fund elective abortions. This would result in the greatest expansion of abortions since Roe v. Wade. In spite of the fact that repeated polls indicating that Americans reject this pro-abortion legislation have been confirmed by a huge upset in Massachusetts, it would seem that Pelosi, Obama, and Reid will attempt to do whatever it takes to force us to accept “their” version of healthcare — a version that is pro-abortion and unwanted by America. more »
