1) President Bush is funding surgical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX) in the HHS Appropriations bills: [see bills below at http://thomas.loc.gov]
Check out HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on Jan. 10, 2002
Check out HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on Jan. 23, 2004
2) President Bush is funding chemical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX) and the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding program: [see bills below at http://thomas.loc.gov]
Check out HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/2002
Check out HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/2004
3) President Bush is funding the nation's largest perpetrators of child-murder-by-abortion, Planned Parenthood (report murdering over 200,000 unborn children annually by surgical abortion alone), through both Medicaid (Title XIX) and Title X, with OVER $50 MILLION per year through each program: [see bills below at http://thomas.loc.gov]
Included in HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/2002
Included in HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/2004
4) President Bush has increased the Title X funding levels over $26,000,000 more than the last Clinton budget:
The Title X funding level for FY 2001, the last Clinton-influenced budget, was a total of $254 million, of which over $58 million went to planned parenthood
In FY 2002, George W. Bush's first full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased over 11,000,000, to $265 million (HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush on 1/10/2002)
In FY 2004, George W. Bush's most recently completed full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased even more to $280 million, over $26,000,000 ($26 million) more than Bill Clinton's last budget year! (HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush on 1/23/2004)

Many teens and women need help and there is help. We want women to get the support they need. We want women to get the love they need. We want people to have someone to talk to and help them when they are pregnant. Please share the truth and whole truth with them.

Abortion is destruction of human life.
- Abortion destroys 3200 unborn babies a day in America.
- Abortion destroys 1.2 Million unborn babies a year in America.
- Abortion has destroyed more than 45 Million unborn babies in 36 years in America.

Abortion is destruction of human life: wholesale and mass destruction of human life.
--------------------
Abortion in America has killed more human life than Hitler and at a more rapid rate than Hitler killed. What Hitler did was a holocaust. Abortion is a holocaust.
--------------------
To have a Choice:
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
Source: http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html
We should encourage responsibility. 93% of the time the mother and father made a choice to take a risk that might turn out to be inconvenient or a social reason. They need to be responsible for the life they started. We are not animals and we can make decisions (choice).
It's all about stepping up to the resposibility of the choice that was made 93% of the time.
93% of the time this can not be justified as a medical reason:
- 3200 Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices
- 1.2 Million Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices
- More than 45 Million Unborn American Babies slaughtered in 36 years
We need to do more for the 7%. We need to work hard to protect the mother and the child during this 7%.
The unborn baby does not have a choice if abortion is the choice.
Make Responsible Choices.
When you make a decision to have sex then be responsible.
Be Responsible.
Love Life.
Respect Life
Protect Life.
Love the Mother and the Child.

What about the choice for the unborn baby?

Why should taxpayers fund something they are opposed to.

It's a medical procedure. Thus it should be in any health care bill. This is between a Dr and the woman involved. Noboby elses

Dr. Shade,
I would like to hear more from you on the comment boards around abortion. You are doing a great job of speaking the Truth without attacking.
Thanks for the great words.

Stand up and Speak Up against this:
- 3200 unborn babies being slaughtered in America a day.
- 1.2 Million unborn babies being slaughtered in America a year.
- more than 45 Million unborn babies that have been slaughtered in America since 1973.
Protection for the least of our people (unborn babies)!
LOVE before hate.
Everyone can make a difference by just sharing the Truth. Keep spreading the Truth.

Found this on the web to back up what Erica said.
Catechism of the Catholic Church
2270
"Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person--among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life."
2271
"Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law."
2274
"Since it must be treated from conception as a person, the embryo must be defended in its integrity, cared for, and healed, as far as possible, like any other human being."
Here is where you can find it online.
