Urge No Vote on the Rule and H.R. 3962
The House is expected to take up a vote on H.R. 3962, the Health Care Bill this Saturday, November 7. A manager's amendment to H.R. 3962 has been released and does not include any new language on abortion funding. As it stands right now, H.R. 3962 authorizes federal funding for abortion in the public option and subsidies for private insurance that includes abortion through affordability credits. The House will vote on the Rule before it votes on final passage of the bill. Pro-life citizens are urged to to encourage a No vote on the Rule and H.R. 3962 because it is expected to include a phony compromise amendment by by Rep. Brad Ellsworth (IN) which will still allow abortion funding by the federal government.
Please call and email your member of Congress immediately.Tell them to Vote No on the Rule and H.R. 3962 because it includes funding for abortion. You can reach your Member of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. You can also email your Member of Congress with a prewritten message by going to the "Take Action Now" Section of this Alert and following the simiple instructions.
The phony compromise is being offered in an attempt to get some pro-life Democrats to support the bill. Pro-Life Democrat Congressman Bart Stupak who has been an unwaivering pro-life supporter said he would oppose the Ellsworth amendment and would continue urging his colleagues to oppose bringing the bill to the floor until there is satisfactory languge added to the bill that prevents abortion funding.
