1                            Abortion is not healthcare

2                           America cannot afford this bill

($950 billion, not counting yearly increases in healthcare costs over next ten years.

Today, it is one sixth of the total US economy)

3                                        There is no bill

There is a House Bill. There is a Senate Bill.

There is President Obama’s 11-page Memo.

There are innumerable proposed amendments

but there is NO bill for people to peruse

4                    The process was shrouded in secrecy

·        For eight months (May-December 2009) Republicans were denied input. House Bill finished in Sept. 2009; Senate Bill by Christmas Eve, 2009.

·        Democrats bypassed “Conference Committee and its public hearings “to merge Senate and House bills, re-affirming their rejection for bipartisan input (Jan. 5).

·        Meetings during Jan. and Feb., 2010, were held in secret: no media, no C-Pac, no Republicans. The full transparency promised by Obama (7 times) became zero transparency.

·        Democrats bought votes through bribery and/or threats: Louisiana ($300 million); Nebraska ($1.2 billion), Florida Seniors, New York unions, Montana, etc.; billions upon billions. Process became more corrupt by the day. Barack Obama and House Majority leader Nancy Pelosi speaking from both sides of the mouth regularly.

5                                     Abortion financing

Bill allocates seven billion dollars ($7 billion) to 1250 Community Health Centres (CHCs) to pay directly for abortion on demand. Pro-abortionists are campaigning for CHCs themselves to provide abortions.

No to Obamacare

·        53% of Americans say No (Rasmussen poll, Jan. 4 and, again, on March 15)

·        72% of Americans say No to using federal dollars for abortion (Americans United for Life, Feb. 25)

President Obama’s address to Congress, Sept. ’09: “Let me make clear that no federal dollars will be used for funding abortion.”

·        National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) (legislative director Douglas Johnson): “This Senate Bill is the most pro-abortion single piece of legislation…since Roe v. Wade.” (Mar. 5)

·        U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: this bill can lead to hundreds of thousand of abortions (March 4)

The Senate Bill:

1.      Departs from longstanding no-abortion funding tax subsidies to help tens of millions of Americans buy private health care, allowing abortion on demand. Each American, buying private care, must pay a monthly fee to pay for other people’s abortions.

2.      Bill establishes new separate “Office of Personnel Management” to administer private “multi-state” plans that cover abortion on demand.

3.      Bill empowers federal political employees to expand access to abortion by binding federal decrees.

4.      Bill re-authorizes all federal Indian health programs, without the ban for abortions.

5.      Bill does not protect health care providers from being penalized for refusing to participate in providing abortions.

Other unwanted features:

The Bill also includes:

a)     health care rationing for seniors (via price controls)

b)     Medicare to be cut by $500 billion

c)      extension of embryonic stem cell research (by National Institutes of Health)

d)     takes away physicians’ autonomy, as well as that of patients

e)     no help for chronic diseases

f)        It is the only major bill in America’s history which has neither bipartisan sponsorship nor input.

Who will suffer most? Most likely African Americans, who are subject already to the highest abortion rate (40%) of any group in the United States.

Major flaw

            The Obama administration, dominated by pro-abortionists, homosexualists and gender equality feminists, think that fewer children will reduce the deficit and stabilize prosperity.

            In reality, more abortions will lengthen and deepen the current economic depression which is caused by the decline in the birthrate. This decline is worldwide and ruthlessly promoted by the United States under Obama and by China (one-child policy).

            In addition to ending the Mexico convention prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars for funding overseas abortions, Obama allots the United Nations $300 million a year for abortions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

            The following are some recent dates:

Jan. 14, 2010: Hilary Clinton announces a new five-year funding push for abortions worldwide.

Feb. 2: New budget calls for abortion funding in Washington, DC, and funding for Legal Services Corporation (abortion litigation) (p. 1248).

Feb. 6: American Military hospitals must stock morning after pill.

Mar. 3: Obama’s UN agenda calls for new UN bureaucracy and creation of a Super Agency to promote abortion worldwide.

Mar. 4: Hilary Clinton’s message to Brazil: legalize abortion.

What to do?

Americans: Oppose this Bill; lobby Congress

Canadians: Pray that it will be defeated.

President Obama’s “new” health reform plan is even more offensive to the democratic and religious principles of Americans than the previous Senate and House (without the Stupak amendment) bills.
