Senate's Christmas
Gift: "Abortion For All, At Taxpayer-Expense"
Anti-abortion group slams Senate's 7am Christmas
Eve "betrayal"

 The
passage of the healthcare overhaul in the Senate has prompted
strong reaction from a leading anti-abortion group highlighting
the fact that the legislation paves the way for federally funded
and managed abortion coverage without limits.
Non-partisan political action committee, Susan
B. Anthony List, described the bill as "a
gift no one wants: abortion for all, at taxpayer-expense."
SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued a statement,
commenting that the bill will "open the floodgates for
the greatest expansion of government-backed abortion since Roe
v. Wade."
The group, that has urged Congress to exclude abortion from
health care reform, explains that if signed into law, the Senate
version of the legislation will see states that choose to ‘opt-out’
of abortion coverage still be forced to foot the bill for abortions
in other states such as California and New York.
"This is not ‘compromise’ or ‘middle
ground.’ The only ones who support the senate abortion
language are a handful of senators so far-removed from the consciences
of their own constituents that it’s laughable." the
statement reads.
"This bill is a betrayal of conscience for millions of
Americans. And it is a betrayal of the principles proclaimed
by Reid, Nelson, and Casey." the statement continues.
"Today’s vote is exactly the type of ‘leadership’
that repels the American electorate. Americans are hungry for
authenticity. They are hungry for leaders whose actions follow
their principles, for stalwart representatives who will never
abandon their convictions for a sweet deal. Unfortunately, on
Christmas Eve 2009, as a result of that lack of real leadership,
Americans received the gift of abortion in the name of ‘health
care reform.’" it concludes.
The group plans to target representatives in Congress to get
behind Bart Stupak, the Democrat who entered an amendment to
bar taxpayer money from funding abortions under government health
care except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the
mother is in danger.
The more restrictive House version of the healthcare bill bars
any federal subsidies for plans that cover abortion purchased
on the state insurance exchanges. It also requires anyone seeking
coverage for elective abortions to purchase separate insurance
riders.
Stupack spoke
out yesterday, saying that the White House has
been pressuring him to back down on the abortion language in
the Congress version of the bill. Stupack today declared that
the bill will "go
down in flames" because the Senate bill differs
too much from the version passed by the House to be accepted.
