Call your members of Congress (use the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to contact your Representative or Senators) and tell them health care reform should:
1) Include health care coverage for all people from conception until natural death, and continue the federal ban on funding for abortions;
2) Include access for all with a special concern for the poor;
3) Pursue the common good and preserve pluralism, including freedom of conscience; and
4) Restrain costs and apply costs equitably among payers.
The USCCB Position on Health Care Reform
+ a truly universal health policy with respect for human life and dignity
+ access for all with a special concern for the poor and inclusion of legal immigrants
+ pursuing the common good and preserving pluralism including freedom of conscience and variety of options
+ restraining costs and applying them equitably across the spectrum of payers

Isn't it surprising. It's too ugly to put on the news paper or in the nightly news. We know the stats for sports, weather, Iraq War, 911, and etc... This is not you reduce the importance of any of those. Why don't we not know the abortion statistics?

Obama's and the democratics congress and senators Health Care reform not only will force us to pay for abortions and increase abortions but it also wants to cut 500 billion out of medicare while medicare is running out of money and baby boomers who have worked their entire lives to build this nation are turning 65 soon.
Obama wants to know the name and IP addres and email address of anyone opposing his health care reform. He is scary. Call your senators and congressmen. Write. Don't just sit around and wish you had done something

Did you know, In just two years there are more unborn American babies (more than 2.4 Million) that die from abortion than all the Americans that have died from all our wars (less than 1.4 Million).

Suction Abortion is where they suck the unborn baby out of the mothers womb with a vacuum.
Dismemberment Abortion is where they take forcepts to dismember the babies parts and pull them out of the mother womb. They rip the legs, arms, and body apart to extract the unborn baby. Then they crush the head to remove it.
Partial Birth Abortion is where they deliver everything but the head of the baby, They then stick a pair of scissors into the back of the neck of the unborn baby to seperate it's spine. Then they use the vacuum to suck the babies brain out.
Do you support the suction abortion, the dismemberment abortion, or the partial birth abortion?
Which of the above is a choice for the unborn baby?

It's interesting to read from LYNN in OK that Republicans "ran the country into the ground", being that the PREVIOUS administration was and still is controlled by Democrats who voted for the policies and expenditures which are STILL running the country into the ground. Democrats have the majority vote in congress (or do you really not know that?)
WAKE UP AMERICA! Learn what the FOUNDING FATHERS designed for our country! BOTH republicans and democrates have been to blame for many years, and
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION has continues to SPEND more money in 6 mos. than ANY OTHER ADMINSTRATION in history! We are FLAT BROKE, in debt, and can't pay our bills!
Thomas Jefferson said that that we should NEVER make future generations pay for what we are doing now. He's the author of our Declaration of Independence--doesn't he know what he's talking about?
REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS who vote only to benefit themselves are to blame! VOTE all those jerks OUT that ARE NOT TRUE TO THEIR WORD. Our Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves!

Too little too late and only because he thinks it will help his cause and he will do an say whatever is needed to make and get his way.
This man talks out of both sides of his mouth, and will do an say what is needed to get what he wants done no matter who it hurts or how much he believes or plans to do . America and Americans are not a priority to this President.

Abortion is a sin. Every President speaks his mind about it before he is elected. When people vote for a president who is pro-choice, that American has chose to ignore or agree with that president. "THOU SHALT NOT"...is not a choice. It's a commandment. AN ORDER. This includes killing. Fetusus' are a life. THOU SHALT NOT KILL is not a choice. If you don't want to get pregnant, find a solution to keep from it. Use your brain and not the other pasrts of your anatomy. People will be judged for agreeing with, ignoring, preforming or having abortions.

I don't have to support abortion to care about my country. I can, and did, vote for Obama because I felt he was the best man for the job. MILLIONS of people who don't support abortion HAD to support the best man to get this country out of the mess the Republicans had put us in. So many of the so called Republicans have had affairs, been caught lying and stealing money and cheating their own areas of this country and you want me to vote to continue that just because they dont support abortion??? Really? Do you think those sins are any less a sin?
Killing abortion doctors is O.K though right? I mean Billo the clown said it was O.K along with Glenn Beck and Limbaugh and Hannity...sorry but to me many of those people have become the God some listen to now and all in the name of abortion.
i dont support abortion but running this country into the ground is not the way to fight it.
You one issue voters need to educate yourself to what else the bible has to offer.

What Billy Graham said:
I know it's common today to think of abortion as a simple answer to an inconvenient problem—but it is actually a far more serious issue. Your child isn't simply a mass of tissue; he or she is a human being in God's eyes. God told Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart" (Jeremiah 1:5).
