President Obama to Keynote Pro-Abortion Group’s Weekend Fundraising Dinner
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—President Barack Obama will keynote a dinner for an organization known for its pro-gay activities but which has also promoted abortion. In addressing the Human Rights Campaign, Obama is making the second overture to the pro-abortion group after putting a top HRC official on his faith task force. Obama will address the Saturday fundraising gala for the Human Rights Campaign on a night when it plans to honor another abortion advocate. ‘It is fitting that (Obama) will speak to our community on the night that we pay tribute to his friend and mentor Sen. Edward Kennedy,’ HRC president Joe Solmonese said. While much of the focus on his attendance at the HRC dinner will be placed on its advocacy of the homosexual agenda, HRC has a long history of advocating abortion. As recently as February, HRC endorsed Obama’s move to rescind conscience protections for medical professionals who don’t want to be forced to perform or refer for abortions. The group ‘commended the Obama administration for beginning the process to repeal the Department of Health and Human Services regulations regarding ‘provider conscience’ and urges the Administration to repeal the regulations in their entirety.’ ‘We commend the Obama administration for acting quickly to review these regulations and urge the Administration to repeal them in their entirety,’ Solmonese said at the time.

Barack Obama Names Pro-Abortion ACLU Lawyer Chai Feldblum to EEOC Panel
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—President Barack Obama is racking up another pro-abortion appointment and, this time, the appointee would serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Obama has selected pro-abortion lawyer and Georgetown University law professor Chai Feldblum for the EEOC. If confirmed by the Senate, Feldblum would serve on the EEOC for five years and could decide cases that related to pressuring women employees to have abortions or pressuring pro-life advocates to allow abortions in insurance policies. Feldblum isn’t known by most Americans, but she has worked for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Human Rights Campaign Fund, another group that promotes abortion. From 1986-1987, Feldblum clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, the notorious judge who handed down the Roe v. Wade decision that has allowed more than 51 million abortions. Feldblum praised him to the New York Times as someone who had the ‘ability and desire to look behind the law and see the people is not the classic way to do law.’ Full story at LifeNews.com
House Members Working on Second Phony Compromise on Abortion in Health Care
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Members of the House of Representatives are working on a second phony compromise that would try to mitigate some of the concerns pro-life lawmakers and groups have about the abortion funding found in HR 3200, the main health care ‘reform’ bill in the House. The current bill contains the Capps Amendment that abortion advocates have been portraying as a compromise that prohibits abortion funding. But pro-life groups and leading pro-life lawmakers such as Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan have exposed the Capps language as a fraud by noting that it allows massive abortion subsidies and mandates. Knowing Stupak has assembled potentially enough pro-life and moderate Democrats to join Republicans in voting down the rules for debate on the bill or the bill itself if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t allow a debate on his amendment to yank the abortion funding, pro-abortion lawmakers are hoping to pacify him and his coalition. Now, pro-abortion Rep. Henry Waxman, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is trying to work out a compromise with some of the members of Stupak’s coalition who are not as strongly pro-life. Full story at LifeNews.com (You can be sure that, if Pro-Life members don’t have the ability to specifically prevent the MURDER of unborn babies through an amendment on the House floor, the bill WILL provide for the MURDER of unborn babies.

Planned Parenthood Used Underage Girls in Clinical Trials Pushing Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—A new report from a Planned Parenthood watchdog group finds the abortion business used underage girls in at least 10 clinical trials over the last two decades to push abortion, birth control, and STD testing. The news comes at a time when Planned Parenthood is facing criticism for videos showing it ignoring potential statutory abuse cases. Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League and the head of its STOPP Planned Parenthood effort, released the details in a statement to LifeNews.com. Twenty-eight Planned Parenthood affiliates have been involved in 33 clinical trials, some of which received government funds, and 10 of them involved girls as young as 13 years of age. That number represents one-third of all clinical trials surveyed in the STOPP report. Two of the 33 trials ended in the 1990s, while the remaining 31 were conducted within the last seven years and some of them are ongoing. Full story at LifeNews.com
Pro-Life Democrat Challenges Obama to Tell Congress to Stop Abortion Funding
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Bart Stupak, the Michigan Democratic congressman who is leading the fight to stop abortion funding in health care, isn’t confident about his prospects for success of getting an amendment to do that. So he is challenging President Barack Obama to make good on his promise of no abortion funding. As LifeNews.com reported, Stupak got a meeting this week with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to discuss his request for an amendment to get the abortion funding out of HR 3200. The meeting didn’t appear to go well as a Democratic aide said to expect that the abortion funding will remain in the health care reform bill. Now, Stupak is talking about that meeting and saying the prospects for his amendment appear dim and he wants Obama, with whom he recently spoke on the phone, to back up his September speech claiming there will be no abortion funding. He said Pelosi did not promise him a vote on his amendment, though she did not rule one out. The Michigan lawmaker confirmed that Pelosi wants him to work on a phony compromise called the Waxman amendment that pro-life groups are already opposing. ‘Unfortunately, I don’t see a clear resolution right now,’ Stupak told U.S. News and World Report. ‘But I’m going to go back to what the president said: no public funding for abortions. And that’s the Hyde Amendment.’ Full story at LifeNews.com (The President lied unless there is a specific provision in the bill preventing the use of our money to fund the MURDER of unborn babies.

Catholic Cardinal Asks Supreme Court to Reject Abortion During Red Mass
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Top government officials were exposed to a call from a Catholic cardinal to reject abortions and uphold the sanctity of life during the Red Mass on Sunday. The mass is a traditional event that takes place before the Supreme Court starts the first day of its next term, which takes place the first Monday in October. Six Supreme Court justices, Vice President Joe Biden, and two members of pro-abortion President Barack Obama’s administration were present for the event. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston, Texas gave a homily and presented the pro-life message to the top officials. He calls on attorneys to be a voice for all clients, including those who have not been born. ‘They are poor and wealthy, confused and lucid, polite and impolited,’ he said. ‘In some cases, the clients are voiceless, for they lack influence; in others they are literally voiceless, not yet with tongues and even without names, and require our most careful attention and radical support.’ Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts attended the event along with the high court’s newest member, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is expected to uphold abortion. Ironically, the cardinals who participate wear red because the color represents a willingness to shed blood in the defense of their faith. In this case, the red could easily have stood for the bloodshed at the hands of the Supreme Court, Biden, and the Obama administration.

Poor Weather Doesn’t Stop LifeChain From Telling America Abortion Kills Children
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Rainy weather throughout much of the nation yesterday didn’t stop likely more than 200,000 Americans from gathering in cities and towns across the country to proclaim the message that ‘Abortion Kills Children’ (Abortion MURDERS children!!!—my addition) and ‘Abortion Hurts Women.’ Groups large and small held pro-life signs and received responses ranging from honking horns to thumbs up, to profane gestures. Thousand of people participated in the Life Chains in Indianapolis while two people braved the cold in Estes Park, Colorado. Dozens of pro-life advocates in Wichita, Kansas took to the streets to share the pro-life message in the LifeChain. ‘We're out here today to make a statement that we support life and also to encourage others to support life from womb to tomb,’ said Fr. Jerome Spexarth of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Wichita. The LifeChain saw pro-life advocates gather in places around the world as well—with 200 participating in one in Cape Town, South Africa. ‘It is time that the lies of abortionists are exposed,’ says international coordinator of the Christian Action Network, Taryn Hodgson. Her group has organized the event in South Africa since 1992. Full story at LifeNews.com”

“YWCA Misinforms Raped Inmate About Adoption, Pays for Coerced Abortion
Topeka, KS (LifeNews.com)—The case of a raped inmate in Kansas who was coerced into an abortion and taken to a Planned Parenthood center is generating criticism of Kansas corrections officials. But it is also implicating the YWCA, which appears to have misled the woman and arranged her abortion. As LifeNews.com reported, a Topeka newspaper has featured an expose’ today focusing on Tracy Keith. She is a 30-year-old inmate who got involved in a racketeering scheme with a corrections official that eventually led to her rape at the hand of a prison instructor, Ted Gallardo. According to the Topeka Capital Journal, YWCA domestic abuse advocates misinformed her about open adoption law in Kansas. Instead, they purchased the abortion and accompanied her to the Planned Parenthood for it. ‘The abortion was paid for by a group of committed women in this community,’ said Sherry Baer, who works for the Battered Women Task Force, claimed. ‘There were no resources to help this woman in her terrible plight, so some of us put in our chips for that.’ The YWCA told Keith that, with two years left on her sentence, and no solid family support network on the outside, the state would sever her parental rights if the baby was born. A Topeka woman who learned of Keith’s pregnancy made inquiries about adopting the child, but Keith said she wasn’t informed.

Abortion Advocates Attack Crisis Pregnancy Centers After New Report Released
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Not able to stand the competition that pregnancy resource centers provide by helping women find tangible help and support during an unplanned pregnancy, abortion advocates are attacking pregnancy centers and using a new report highlighting their history and service to do so. LifeNews.com noted the new report, produced by the Family Research Council in conjunction with Care Net, Heartbeat International and NIFLA. The report gives a historical overview of the pregnancy center movement and highlights case studies and interviews with staff and former clients to demonstrate how pregnancy centers have helped millions of women during their time of need. Last Thursday, Wendy Norris, a blogger at the pro-abortion RH Reality Check blog fired back. Norris contends the centers ‘push wildly inaccurate, non-scientific and biased information on pregnancy and contraception in schools and at facilities staffed almost exclusively by volunteers.’ Full story at LifeNews.com” (Right!

“President Obama Could Change Makeup of Key Appeals Courts on Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—President Barack Obama has already made his first mark on the Supreme Court with the nomination of newly-minted pro-abortion Justice Sonia Sotomayor. His next Supreme Court appointment could come soon, but he can change the face of a key appeals court in the meantime. While most of the focus in the courts debate centers on the nation’s high court, a president can change the outcome of rulings on abortion and bioethics law with appeals court appointments. The appeals courts are one step removed from the Supreme Court but they are frequently the end of the line for abortion law cases because of the small percentages of cases that make their way before the nine influential judges. Such is the case with the Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which handles laws for the mid-Atlantic states but also some cases with a national scope given its position adjacent to the nation's capital. Most recently, the 4th Circuit issued a 6-5 decision in June upholding a Virginia ban on partial-birth abortions.

“Pew Poll Finds 42 Percent of Americans Don't Know Barack Obama Pro-Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Looking further into the new Pew Research center poll on abortion, the survey reveals that a substantial percentage of Americans don’t know that President Barack Obama has a strong pro-abortion position and record. The poll found 42 percent of Americans are unaware. The poll finds that four-in-ten Americans are unaware of Obama’s position on abortion, although pro-life advocates are most well-informed—which is a testimony to the work of pro-life organizations. On the other hand, independent voters and abortion advocates are less informed that Obama has been stridently pro-abortion. While just 25 percent of conservative Republicans and 36 percent of moderate Republicans don’t know Obama is pro-abortion, 42 percent of independents and 51 percent of conservative and moderate Democrats don’t know. Some 32 percent of liberal Democrats know Obama backs abortion. Pew asked a follow-up question to those who know Obama’s position to determine whether the particular groups believed Obama would go too far in promoting abortion, not far enough or whether he is handling abortion about right. Four of the five groups have at least twice as many who said they worried Obama would go too far in promoting abortion as those who said he would not go far enough.

Senate Committee Defeats Amendment to Stop Financial Incentive for Rationing
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Members of the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday not only turned back an amendment to stop abortion funding, but they defeated an amendment to stop rationing as well. They rejected, on a party-line vote, an amendment to eliminate the rationing components of the Baucus health care bill. Sen. Jon Kyl, an Arizona Republican, brought the amendment out of a concern, shared by pro-life groups, that one provision of the measure penalizes Medicare doctors who provide higher levels of medical treatment to senior citizens. Kyl and Senator Pat Roberts, a pro-life Kansas Republican, sponsored the change. The amendment would have removed a provision that establishes that, for at least five years, Medicare physicians who authorize treatments for their patients that wind up in the top 10% of per capita cost for a year will lose 5% of their total Medicare reimbursements for that year. (What lunacy!!! Statistically, some doctors will have to be in the top 10% no matter how low the charges. How insane!!! And people want these Senators controlling healthcare?!!—my addition) Pro-life advocates say the provision means that all doctors treating older people will constantly be driven to try to order the least expensive tests and treatments for fear that they will be caught in that top 10%. ‘Last night’s vote in the Senate Finance Committee should put America’s senior citizens on alert,’ medical ethics attorney Burke Balch of National Right to Life, told LifeNews.com today. ‘If death spiral provision actually becomes law, their Medicare providers will start a race to the bottom to avoid being captured in the top ten percent.’ (EXACTLY!!! It’s INSANITY!!! Full story at LifeNews.com”
“Pro-Life Groups: Votes on Baucus Amdts Confirm Abortion in All Health Care Bills
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—With a Senate committee rejecting yet another pro-life amendment to make sure the health care bills in Congress don’t include abortion funding, pro-life groups say there is one conclusion. That is that every one of the health care bills under consideration contains abortion funding. The Senate Finance Committee this morning rejected the Hatch amendment to make it clear that the Baucus health care bill would not fund abortions. ‘This action leaves no doubt that the health care bill that will come to the Senate floor in a few weeks will contain provisions that would result in massive subsidies for abortion coverage,’ Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee said. Johnson told LifeNews.com after the vote the battles to stop abortion funding are not over as ‘the full Senate will have to vote on the pro-abortion subsidies, and other pro-abortion components as well.’ The pro-life legislative guru also noted that the near unanimous opposition to the anti-abortion funding limits by members of President Barack Obama’s party ‘is one more proof that President Obama’s public statements that he does not want federal dollars used for abortion are completely phony—part of an ongoing political hoax.’ Charmaine Yoest, the president of Americans United for Life, agrees. She told LifeNews.com that the defeat of these important amendments illustrates the gap between rhetoric and reality on the Hill over abortion in health care reform.

Senate Panel Defeats Amendment to Protect Pro-Life Medical Workers on Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Shortly after the Senate Finance Committee voted against an amendment to remove the massive abortion subsidies from the Baucus health care bill, they rejected a second pro-life amendment. It would have offered protection for medical workers who don’t want to participate in or refer for abortions. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, offered the abortion funding limitation and Hatch also offered his conscience protection amendment, number 354, which mirrors the Hyde-Weldon appropriations language. Hyde-Weldon is a federal law that President George W. Bush signed into law in December 2004 that protects hospitals, health insurance companies and medical professionals who don’t want to pay for or perform abortions. The Hatch nondiscrimination amendment failed by a vote of 13-10 with pro-abortion Sen. Olympia Snow, a Maine Republican, siding with Democrats on the panel to oppose the measure. Sen. Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, joined Republicans in supporting the amendment. Without the Hatch amendment, the Baucus bill contains no conscience protections on abortions for employees who don’t want to be involved in them or refer for them.

Letter From 183 House Members Urges Pelosi to Allow Vote to Cut Abortion Funding
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—A bipartisan group of 183 members of Congress sent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a letter on Monday urging her to allow a vote on an amendment to cut the massive abortion funding and subsidies from the main health care ‘reform’ bill in the chamber. HR 3200 currently allows for both abortion subsidies and mandates and pro-life Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan wants the opportunity to propose an amendment to remove the funding from the bill. ‘We urge you to allow members of the House to vote their consciences with regard to abortion and health care reform by allowing consideration of an amendment to prohibit government funding of abortion,’ the letter says. The lawmakers say HR 3200 ‘radically departs from current federal government policy of not paying for elective abortion or subsidizing plans that cover abortion.’ Full story at LifeNews.com”
“Planned Parenthood Gives Late-Term Abortion Practitioner George Tiller Top Award
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—The International Federation of Planned Parenthood Foundation gave slain late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller its highest award over the weekend. The international abortion business honored Tiller posthumously in Washington months after he was shot and killed in his Kansas church. Planned Parenthood gave Tiller its Medal of Honor for ‘outstanding individual contribution to sexual and reproductive health.’ (For MURDERING unborn babies!!!—my addition) According to a Wichita News report, Tiller's widow Jeanne accepted the award on her late husband’s behalf. Alexander Sanger, grandson of Margaret Sanger, the woman who founded Planned parenthood and who has come under fire for having racist views for doing so, presented Tiller with the award. Before his death, the state board that monitors doctors was close to revoking Tiller’s medical license on allegations that he falsified the age of unborn children before the late-term abortions that took their lives. He allegedly did so to stay within the confines of state law. Tiller also injured numerous women in botched abortions and was responsible for overseeing another abortion practitioner, LeRoy Carhart, who killed mentally disabled teenager Christin Gilbert in a failed abortion.

Ex-CBS Anchor Dan Rather to Headline Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Event
Minneapolis, MN (LifeNews.com)—Most viewers can easily pinpoint the pro-abortion bias in news reports by the so-called mainstream media, but former CBS newsman Dan Rather is confirmation what they already know. Rather will headline a fundraising event for a local affiliate of the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota tapped Rather to be the keynote speaker at its October 13 banquet at the Minneapolis Hilton. ‘Dan Rather, the voice, heart and soul of American journalism, is one of the most recognized and renowned reporters of our time,’ (although discredited!!!—my addition) the abortion business trumpets in an announcement of the event. Tickets for the swanky pro-abortion fundraiser with Rather start at $150 and go up to $5,000—which guarantees the abortion advocate preferred seating near the former CBS anchor.

According to the Topeka Capital Journal, YWCA domestic abuse advocates misinformed her about open adoption law in Kansas. Instead, they purchased the abortion and accompanied her to the Planned Parenthood for it. ‘The abortion was paid for by a group of committed women in this community,’ said Sherry Baer, who works for the Battered Women Task Force, claimed. ‘There were no resources to help this woman in her terrible plight, so some of us put in our chips for that.’ The YWCA told Keith that, with two years left on her sentence, and no solid family support network on the outside, the state would sever her parental rights if the baby was born. A Topeka woman who learned of Keith’s pregnancy made inquiries about adopting the child, but Keith said she wasn’t informed.

Abortion Advocates Attack Crisis Pregnancy Centers After New Report Released
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Not able to stand the competition that pregnancy resource centers provide by helping women find tangible help and support during an unplanned pregnancy, abortion advocates are attacking pregnancy centers and using a new report highlighting their history and service to do so. LifeNews.com noted the new report, produced by the Family Research Council in conjunction with Care Net, Heartbeat International and NIFLA. The report gives a historical overview of the pregnancy center movement and highlights case studies and interviews with staff and former clients to demonstrate how pregnancy centers have helped millions of women during their time of need. Last Thursday, Wendy Norris, a blogger at the pro-abortion RH Reality Check blog fired back. Norris contends the centers ‘push wildly inaccurate, non-scientific and biased information on pregnancy and contraception in schools and at facilities staffed almost exclusively by volunteers.’ Full story at LifeNews.com” (Right!

“President Obama Could Change Makeup of Key Appeals Courts on Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—President Barack Obama has already made his first mark on the Supreme Court with the nomination of newly-minted pro-abortion Justice Sonia Sotomayor. His next Supreme Court appointment could come soon, but he can change the face of a key appeals court in the meantime. While most of the focus in the courts debate centers on the nation’s high court, a president can change the outcome of rulings on abortion and bioethics law with appeals court appointments. The appeals courts are one step removed from the Supreme Court but they are frequently the end of the line for abortion law cases because of the small percentages of cases that make their way before the nine influential judges. Such is the case with the Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which handles laws for the mid-Atlantic states but also some cases with a national scope given its position adjacent to the nation's capital. Most recently, the 4th Circuit issued a 6-5 decision in June upholding a Virginia ban on partial-birth abortions.

“Pew Poll Finds 42 Percent of Americans Don't Know Barack Obama Pro-Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Looking further into the new Pew Research center poll on abortion, the survey reveals that a substantial percentage of Americans don’t know that President Barack Obama has a strong pro-abortion position and record. The poll found 42 percent of Americans are unaware. The poll finds that four-in-ten Americans are unaware of Obama’s position on abortion, although pro-life advocates are most well-informed—which is a testimony to the work of pro-life organizations. On the other hand, independent voters and abortion advocates are less informed that Obama has been stridently pro-abortion. While just 25 percent of conservative Republicans and 36 percent of moderate Republicans don’t know Obama is pro-abortion, 42 percent of independents and 51 percent of conservative and moderate Democrats don’t know. Some 32 percent of liberal Democrats know Obama backs abortion. Pew asked a follow-up question to those who know Obama’s position to determine whether the particular groups believed Obama would go too far in promoting abortion, not far enough or whether he is handling abortion about right. Four of the five groups have at least twice as many who said they worried Obama would go too far in promoting abortion as those who said he would not go far enough.

Senate Committee Defeats Amendment to Stop Financial Incentive for Rationing
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Members of the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday not only turned back an amendment to stop abortion funding, but they defeated an amendment to stop rationing as well. They rejected, on a party-line vote, an amendment to eliminate the rationing components of the Baucus health care bill. Sen. Jon Kyl, an Arizona Republican, brought the amendment out of a concern, shared by pro-life groups, that one provision of the measure penalizes Medicare doctors who provide higher levels of medical treatment to senior citizens. Kyl and Senator Pat Roberts, a pro-life Kansas Republican, sponsored the change. The amendment would have removed a provision that establishes that, for at least five years, Medicare physicians who authorize treatments for their patients that wind up in the top 10% of per capita cost for a year will lose 5% of their total Medicare reimbursements for that year. (What lunacy!!! Statistically, some doctors will have to be in the top 10% no matter how low the charges. How insane!!! And people want these Senators controlling healthcare?!!—my addition) Pro-life advocates say the provision means that all doctors treating older people will constantly be driven to try to order the least expensive tests and treatments for fear that they will be caught in that top 10%. ‘Last night’s vote in the Senate Finance Committee should put America’s senior citizens on alert,’ medical ethics attorney Burke Balch of National Right to Life, told LifeNews.com today. ‘If death spiral provision actually becomes law, their Medicare providers will start a race to the bottom to avoid being captured in the top ten percent.’ (EXACTLY!!! It’s INSANITY!!! Full story at LifeNews.com”
“Pro-Life Groups: Votes on Baucus Amdts Confirm Abortion in All Health Care Bills
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—With a Senate committee rejecting yet another pro-life amendment to make sure the health care bills in Congress don’t include abortion funding, pro-life groups say there is one conclusion. That is that every one of the health care bills under consideration contains abortion funding. The Senate Finance Committee this morning rejected the Hatch amendment to make it clear that the Baucus health care bill would not fund abortions. ‘This action leaves no doubt that the health care bill that will come to the Senate floor in a few weeks will contain provisions that would result in massive subsidies for abortion coverage,’ Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee said. Johnson told LifeNews.com after the vote the battles to stop abortion funding are not over as ‘the full Senate will have to vote on the pro-abortion subsidies, and other pro-abortion components as well.’ The pro-life legislative guru also noted that the near unanimous opposition to the anti-abortion funding limits by members of President Barack Obama’s party ‘is one more proof that President Obama’s public statements that he does not want federal dollars used for abortion are completely phony—part of an ongoing political hoax.’ Charmaine Yoest, the president of Americans United for Life, agrees. She told LifeNews.com that the defeat of these important amendments illustrates the gap between rhetoric and reality on the Hill over abortion in health care reform.

Senate Panel Defeats Amendment to Protect Pro-Life Medical Workers on Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Shortly after the Senate Finance Committee voted against an amendment to remove the massive abortion subsidies from the Baucus health care bill, they rejected a second pro-life amendment. It would have offered protection for medical workers who don’t want to participate in or refer for abortions. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, offered the abortion funding limitation and Hatch also offered his conscience protection amendment, number 354, which mirrors the Hyde-Weldon appropriations language. Hyde-Weldon is a federal law that President George W. Bush signed into law in December 2004 that protects hospitals, health insurance companies and medical professionals who don’t want to pay for or perform abortions. The Hatch nondiscrimination amendment failed by a vote of 13-10 with pro-abortion Sen. Olympia Snow, a Maine Republican, siding with Democrats on the panel to oppose the measure. Sen. Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, joined Republicans in supporting the amendment. Without the Hatch amendment, the Baucus bill contains no conscience protections on abortions for employees who don’t want to be involved in them or refer for them.

Letter From 183 House Members Urges Pelosi to Allow Vote to Cut Abortion Funding
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—A bipartisan group of 183 members of Congress sent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a letter on Monday urging her to allow a vote on an amendment to cut the massive abortion funding and subsidies from the main health care ‘reform’ bill in the chamber. HR 3200 currently allows for both abortion subsidies and mandates and pro-life Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan wants the opportunity to propose an amendment to remove the funding from the bill. ‘We urge you to allow members of the House to vote their consciences with regard to abortion and health care reform by allowing consideration of an amendment to prohibit government funding of abortion,’ the letter says. The lawmakers say HR 3200 ‘radically departs from current federal government policy of not paying for elective abortion or subsidizing plans that cover abortion.’ Full story at LifeNews.com”
“Planned Parenthood Gives Late-Term Abortion Practitioner George Tiller Top Award
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—The International Federation of Planned Parenthood Foundation gave slain late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller its highest award over the weekend. The international abortion business honored Tiller posthumously in Washington months after he was shot and killed in his Kansas church. Planned Parenthood gave Tiller its Medal of Honor for ‘outstanding individual contribution to sexual and reproductive health.’ (For MURDERING unborn babies!!!—my addition) According to a Wichita News report, Tiller's widow Jeanne accepted the award on her late husband’s behalf. Alexander Sanger, grandson of Margaret Sanger, the woman who founded Planned parenthood and who has come under fire for having racist views for doing so, presented Tiller with the award. Before his death, the state board that monitors doctors was close to revoking Tiller’s medical license on allegations that he falsified the age of unborn children before the late-term abortions that took their lives. He allegedly did so to stay within the confines of state law. Tiller also injured numerous women in botched abortions and was responsible for overseeing another abortion practitioner, LeRoy Carhart, who killed mentally disabled teenager Christin Gilbert in a failed abortion.
