Johanns: I Ask Pro-Life Senators to Stand Up and Oppose Public Funding of Abortion

[ToxicOdiousOne]

A State which funds racist sexist eugenics and calls it "reproductive rights" is reprehensible. Hitler had no right to exterminate the Jews yet Nazism and Hitler continue to live on.

Please just be human, not partisan, and vote for life, no matter what the political affiliations are. Choose life with your votes.

1/10/10: On abortion, the Senate bill contains massive abortion funding by virtue of the Nelson-Reid abortion language in the bill that allows states to force taxpayers to fund abortions with government funds. It also contains the Mikulski amendment, which would allow the Obama administration to define abortion as "preventative care" and force insurance companies to use taxpayers' premiums to pay for them...

[buddy34]

The House initially approved its bill on a three-vote margin only because it contained the Stupak amendment to ban abortion funding...

[buddy34]

Now, with the Senate's Nelson-Reid language and Mikulski amendment in place, a group of 10-12 pro-life Democrats led by Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan may very well REVOLT on supporting the bill, unless the Stupak amendment is added to the Senate version of the legislation. And if the Stupak amendment is added, that would probably prompt some pro-abortion Democrats to vote against the bill. RESULT: OBAMACARE DIES.

Lets see if this gets posted. I support FREE and prompt abortion services for all who need or want such services. Banning abortion rights under proposed health insurance reform is plain foolish. How about if YOU support forced birth, you must kick in $15,000 per year in support tax for the unwanted babies? Okay?

Roe v. Wade is the law - respect it please.

Peace...

Top Catholic Cardinal Says 'No Way' Catholic Members of Congress Can Support Health Care Bill That Funds Abortion: A Catholic cardinal said that there is "no way" Catholic members of Congress can support the health care reform bill as long as it includes a provision that allows tax dollars to go to insurance plans that cover abortion. "Catholics make a distinction between health care and killing," said Cardinal Justin Rigali, the archbishop of Philadelphia.

Mike Johanns is AWESOME!!! I am so grateful to have his voice for our unborn babies! We will not be fooled, you said it Senator!! GOOD MAN!!

[MotionFrequency]

Democrats always like to force their beliefs on everyone and then claim that we conservatives do it. They force us to pay to kill babies. That's fine, they haven't seen force yet. We're going to make them pay to go to church. We're going to tax them so that everyone gets a bible. We're going to play their little games too. We're going to tax them to save babies. We're going to tax them lock terrorists up. Eye for an Eye. The truth will be told and the wicked will be called out always!

[andrewh23]

You don't want a dime to go to abortions but you don't mind paying $3 trillion to kill a million in Iraq in an unprovoked war. Republicans love babies but if those babies grow up to be Muslims, they want to blow them to bits.

[MotionFrequency]

I don't like money going to kill anybody quite frankly. I don't want to pay to kill with weapons or kill innocent babies. Democrats like to talk about giving people rights, but then when it comes to the most innocent form of life on the planet, they want to murder it so don't talk about morals. You all have none. Don't even pretend to with your pro choice so it doesn't sound bad. I call it what it is, sticking a needle up a chicks private area and killing an unborn child because it's a problem.

[buddy34]

Thank you, Senator Johanns!!!

[RogerOnTheRight]

We need just one. Just one, honest, pro-life Senator. One with just a modicum of integrity.

Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson could be that one. He is a Democrat, and has long positioned himself as pro-life.

But, Nelson now says he will vote for cloture, refusing to block this pro-abortion bill, despite having insisted in the past he would block any such legislation.

But, Ben Nelson is a weasel.

Presumably, he will not be standing for re-election next time.

[Sunshine484848]

Oppose the bill... period!

[noiwudnttrip]

Without the abortion coverage in the bill, it's still a piece of crap.
