In the Last week of July 2009, more than 36,000 other people participated in what the Washington Post described as a "massive webcast" -- the historic Stop the Abortion Mandate web event.
The replay of that inspiring webcast is online at:
http://www.StopTheAbortionMandate.com
More than 100,000 letters and e-mails have already been sent to Congress because of your actions in response to the webcast and the actions of others associated with organizations making up the Stop the Abortion Mandate coalition.
Reporting on the webcast, U.S. News & World Report documented: "In the last few days, Christian
conservatives have quickly organized themselves into a coalition opposing the inclusion of abortion coverage in President Obama's proposed public healthcare plan."
The Washington Post reported: "If the organization and strident words during the webcast are any indication, the anti-abortion tide that is rising against President Obama's health care plan may shape up to be a sizable force in coming weeks."
Bottom-line: YOU ARE MAKING AN IMPACT, and we have a real shot at stopping this abortion mandate!
But the battle is far from over.
**BREAKING NEWS**
Last night, the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed a pro-abortion amendment which would force abortion into the public plan and force YOU to fund abortion through your tax dollars.
After passage of the pro-abortion amendment, the Committee then went on to defeat a bi-partisan pro-life amendment.
Today, there will be another vote when an amendment will be offered in committee to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion.
This amendment could be the last chance to prevent the abortion mandate before the vote goes to floor of the House of Representatives.
And, if you've been following the news, you know that things are changing almost hourly here in Washington.
Health care "compromises" are being proposed that would do nothing to stop the abortion mandate and there is a slim possibility that a full vote in the Senate could happen prior to their summer recess.
With all the confusion and rapid changes, one thing is clear -- this abortion mandate must be stopped. Your action is needed TODAY to stop the largest abortion expansion since Roe v. Wade!
**ACTION ITEM**
Even if you have already sent letters and e-mails and made calls, it is URGENT that you call the Washington office and district office of your Representative and two Senators TODAY with one clear message: y
"KEEP ABORTION OUT OF HEALTH CARE!
Any health care proposal or bill MUST explicitly and permanently prohibit any use of taxpayer funds for abortion or health plans that pay for abortion, and MUST explicitly and permanently prohibit abortion from being a mandated service."
