NRTL: Health Care Reform Bill Would Vastly Expand Abortion
The National Right to Life Committee (NRTL) put out a press release today stating that the health care reform bills congress is currently considering “contain provisions that would vastly expand access to abortion on demand, override state abortion laws, and establish federal funding of abortion.” NRTL warns that bill could “mandate access to abortion for all women through provisions of national health care restructuring legislation.”
“These two bills pose one of the greatest threats to pro-life policies since the Supreme Court handed down its Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion in 1973,” said Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee. “The pro-abortion movement sees federal ‘health care reform’ legislation as a golden opportunity to force-feed abortion into every nook and cranny of the health-care delivery system.” “Their goal, as they sometimes put it, is to ‘mainstream’ abortion. If Obama and his allies succeed, the result will be a very large increase in the number of abortions performed in America.”
These abortion mandates will no doubt put even more pressure on our
Arkansas Congressman and Senators who realize Arkansas is predominately a pro-life state.
