PP director resigns

There’s something fishy about Abby Johnson’s resignation.

 

It’s easy to understand Norma McCorvey changing sides–being the plaintiff in Roe/Wade was like winning the lottery, it gave her a chance to be a right-to-life propagandist instead of a burger-flipper, but this one is less clear.

You’ve got to be kidding.
Surely you admit the possibility of a change or hearth. a Metanoia. a fall from the horse?

 

If watching a sonogram of a living fetus in the womb being sucked up a straw won’t change a heart then what possibly could? Can you concede the possibility?

and if this or any person has less than pure motives that does not disprove the possibility of good intent and good action in part or in whole. What has caused you to be so jaded?

I will NOT be approving your comment at Deliberateengagement.wordpress.com.  I will however be willing to engage you in a discussion of the immoratily of abortion in any forum you choose.

As to your front page that says:
“ALL right-to-lifers are murderers.” I am not; therefore you are in error. See http://deliberateengagement.wordpress.com/how-to-debate/

Health Care Reformed

H.R. 3962, the Health Care Reform Bill, Passes the House

On Nov. 7, 2009, the House passed H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act by a vote of 220-215.  One Republican, Joseph Cao (R-LA), voted in favor of the bill.  The bill will incorporate the Stupak-Pitts amendment, which bans use of federal funding for abortion and prohibits the public option from covering abortion services.

See entire story at: http://blog.aul.org/2009/11/07/h-r-3962-the-health-care-reform-bill-passes-the-house/

This is a sucess but not the end of this fight.  This bill needs to marry up with a bill in the Senate and then be reconciled and passed again in both houses.  We much watch carefully.

Call Congress

Call/Email Your Member of Congress and ask him/her to oppose the “Rule” if it does not allow a vote on the Stupak anti-abortion funding amendment LAST CHANCE TO CALL: Congress Will Vote Tomorrow to Fund Abortion in Health Care November 06, 2009 | Share with Friends Dear Matt, On Saturday, Congress will vote on the massive health care legislation which currently will spend your money on all elective abortion! Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s health care bill authorizes the government run “public option” to fund elective abortion and would subsidize private plans that cover elective abortion. Pro-life Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak and Republican Rep. Joe Pitts want to offer a pro-life amendment to strike the abortion funding from the bill. However, Speaker Pelosi won’t allow it. Instead, they have inserted a fake “compromise” to allow the government to fund abortion through private contractors, but this would still be GOVERNMENT funding of abortion (Medicare also uses private contractors to process fees and no one would call Medicare “private” funding.) Speaker Pelosi will not allow a vote on a true amendment that would stop funding of abortion so you need to ask your Representative today to oppose the Rule that prevents a vote on the Stupak-Pitts amendment. And if that Rule passes they need to oppose final passage of the bill. LAST CHANCE TO CALL BEFORE THE VOTE SATURDAY!!! Call your Member of Congress by contacting the Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 or email them here. Call/Email Your Member of Congress and ask him/her to oppose the “Rule” if it does not allow a vote on the Stupak anti-abortion funding amendment Sincerely, Tony Perkins President P.S. Please forward this email to at least one friend.

No Public Money for Abortion

The National Review writes a very good article who’s final paragraph reads:

If President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and other Democratic leaders want to have a national debate about abortion at this moment, we welcome that. But cowering in the legislative murk surrounding health-care reform is underhanded, and ought to be denounced as such by people of good faith, Republican or Democratic, pro-life or pro-choice.

“This is it”

Congressman Mike Pence
Chairman, House Republican Conference 

Dear Friend,

As I write this, I’ve just come from a meeting on Capitol Hill, and I have an update for you on the battle to keep abortion out of health care.  The bottom-line message I bring you from the Congressmen and Senators we talked with is this:  now is the time to act . . . and we need YOU to win the day.  Senator John Thune, Chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee told us, “This is when it gets down to the serious moment.”

The message of the day was that your Congressman really needs to hear from you.  A vote on the U.S. House health bill H.R. 3942 could come to the floor as early as this SATURDAY.  We heard today that after the wins of two pro-life politicians, Bob McDonnell in Virginia and Chris Christie in New Jersey on Tuesday, abortion supporters in Congress are “really sweating.”   It’s up to us now to be sure they understand that Americans do not want abortion in health care reform.

Yesterday, the House Rules Committee announced that the “rule” for considering the health care legislation will include language put forward by Representative Brad Ellsworth, D-Ind. which the House leadership is FALSELY describing as “pro-life.”  Rep. Ellsworth claims his Amendment would “prevent tax-payer funded abortions.” Unfortunately, his amendment does NOT prevent taxpayer funding of abortion. 

The Ellsworth Amendment allows the public option to pay for abortion on demand and allows government dollars to go to private plans that cover abortion.  This amendment would undermine the only pro-life amendment that truly protects life in health care reform: the Stupak-Pitts Amendment. 

Our pro-life friends on the Hill are concerned that the pro-abortion House Leadership will deny the Stupak-Pitts Amendment a vote.  But without that amendment, pro-life Members cannot vote for health care reform.

This from the 40-day for life.

MIRACLE: Planned Parenthood director converts!

November 4th, 2009 

What an amazing last few days!

After yesterday’s message sharing the miraculous conversion of Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director in Bryan/College Station, Texas (birthplace of 40 Days for Life,) her story has sent shockwaves through the abortion industry and inspired hundreds of thousands of people world wide.

Here’s a picture of Abby with 40 Days for Life campaign director Shawn Carney in Bryan/College Station on the sidewalk outside of her former workplace:

Among the 100+ media outlets reporting on Abby’s conversion story in the last 24 hours, she was a featured guest yesterday on the nationally syndicated Laura Ingraham radio show (guest hosted by Raymond Arroyo) and shared her riveting story about the impact of 40 Days for Life people praying outside of her workplace.

Bishops on Health Care Reform

Alert from the Bishops on Health Care Reform

Catholic Voice North Carolina

October 30, 2009
Dear Catholic Voice North Carolina Participant:

The Catholic Bishops of the United States have issued an urgent Call to Action regarding the health care reform debate that is currently underway in the United States Congress.

The Bishops have concluded that the three bills under consideration are seriously flawed in the following areas: 1) mandating the use of federal funds to pay for abortions (which is contrary to our current federal law), 2) forcing health care workers and Catholic medical institutions to perform medical procedures in violation of their religious conscience and 3) providing adequate access to health care for the poor and immigrants.

We invite you to visit the Bishops’ website that is dedicated to this issue and to contact your elected representatives as soon as possible. You can do so by going to the Bishops’ website or by visiting your respective diocesan website.

Thank you

Fact Check on Abortion in Health Care

Fact Check – funded in large part by the Annenberg Public Policy Center – tries to be reasonably impartial though it errs to the left.  Even they think that the Health Care Reform bills as currently written include expanded coverage for Abortion services.

Abortion: Which Side Is Fabricating?

Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans.

August 21, 2009

Updated: August 25, 2009

Summary

Will health care legislation mean “government funding of abortion”?

President Obama said Wednesday that’s “not true” and among several “fabrications” being spread by “people who are bearing false witness.” But abortion foes say it’s the president who’s making a false claim. “President Obama today brazenly misrepresented the abortion-related component” of health care legislation, said Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee. So which side is right?

The truth is that bills now before Congress don’t require federal money to be used for supporting abortion coverage. So the president is right to that limited extent. But it’s equally true that House and Senate legislation would allow a new “public” insurance plan to cover abortions, despite language added to the House bill that technically forbids using public funds to pay for them.

AUL and House health care legislation

From Americans United for Life

The fight to remove the abortion mandate from the health care bill is becoming more intense by the hour., Pro-life Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) is making headlines with his announcement that 40 Democrats are prepared to block health care reform legislation from coming to the House Floor unless its abortion mandate is removed. Here at AUL Action, we are working against time to support the efforts of Stupak and other pro-lifers on the Hill, meeting with Congressmen to ensure they know what’s at stake if the health care reform bill is not amended to protect life. Even as House members express determination to remove abortion from the House bill, in our meetings we have learned that Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership are working hard to convince pro-life members of Congress that the Capps Amendment “compromise” prevents abortion funding and coverage. Please, call your Congressman and tell him/her that the Capps Amendment is not a compromise. The Stupak/Pitts language must be included in the House bill.

and further:

Our online ad “Don’t Be Fooled: Abortion is in Health Care Reform” shows how abortion advocates are trying to use health care reform as a means of forcing Americans to pay for the destruction of unborn life. Please watch it on RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com and send it to your friends, your family—everyone you know who doesn’t want to see their tax dollars fund abortion-on-demand.
