Republicans Hail the 64 'Pro-Life' Democrats

Love for Life

Thank You to all the Democrats that Protected Human Life. Thank You to all the Republicans that Protected Human Life. Thank You for standing strong for a culture of Love and Care above a culture of death.

Love and Care for Human Life is more important than party lines is the message that these Great Democrat and Republican Leaders have sent.

We the people as a nation who care about others no longer want abortion. Americans know the Truth that Abortion is holocaustic slaughter of human Life.

Abortion is the greatest detroyer of Life in America. It destroys human life at a rate of more than 3200 babies a day in America.

Americans want Life over death. Americans want Love and Care over death.

Americans want Health Care that Protects Life.

Mr. Bedard, you do not have your facts right

Unfortunately, this post does not report correctly on what the Stupak Amendment seeks to codify into law.

The Amendment does NOT simply block government funding for abortion care. This is something that is ALREADY federal law via the Hyde Amendment. If this is all the House health care reform bill did, pro-choice and women's health advocates would have been fine with it. These organizations repeatedly stated this.

What the US Catholic Bishops lobbied for - and got - was an amendment that, in addition to prohibiting any coverage of abortion in the public option, prohibits *anyone* receiving a federal subsidy from purchasing a health insurance plan that includes abortion. It also prohibits private health insurance plans from offering through the exchange a plan that includes abortion coverage to both subsidized and unsubsidized individuals.

Therefore, millions of women will lose the benefits they already have and millions more would be prohibited from getting the kind of private sector health care coverage that most women have today.

Please correct the post or clarify. What you are writing about is simply the Hyde Amendment - not the Stupak Amendment.

RH Reality Check

Congratulations to THESE Democrats BUT...

They STILL missed the real point.

NO PERSONAL MEDICAL PROCEDURE IS THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT!

To fund or not fund...NOT their business.

To die or not die...NOT their business.

It is NOT the business of OUR Government to provide.

It IS the business of OUR Government to provide opportunity to PROVIDE for ourselves.

Self reliance is what built OUR Nation.

Dependance is what WILL destroy it.
