End taxpayer funded abortion in Obamacare

Dear Pro-life Friend –

We’re coming down to the wire on the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade.

The health insurance exchanges created by Obamacare will begin implementation on October 1. These are paid for with our tax dollars and will include plans that cover elective abortions.

But we have an opportunity to prevent this flow of tax dollars to plans that cover abortions before the October 1 deadline: defunding Obamacare in the upcoming Continuing Resolution (CR) by passing the resolution offered by Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA).

Take Immediate Action: Tell your Representative to end taxpayer funding of abortion in Obamacare by supporting the Graves bill, H.J. Res. 62.

The House must send the Senate a CR that completely funds the government – except Obamacare. Recently, House leadership proposed a CR with a detachable provision defunding Obamacare. But the Senate can easily reject the defunding provision while passing a bill that contains funding for the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade.

That’s why it’s critical that the House pass the Graves bill to send the Senate a CR that actually defunds Obamacare and stops taxpayer funding for abortion.

Pro-life Friend, we must tell our pro-life Representatives we expect them to stand strong.

Once the health insurance exchanges are implemented, taxpayer dollars will begin subsidizing plans that include elective abortion. The CR is the last piece of must-pass legislation before the October 1 deadline, and must be our stand.

Take Action: Click here to tell Congress to reject any CR using procedural gimmicks that allows the Senate to pass a bill that contains taxpayer funding for abortion.

Pro-life Friend, the SBA List was on the front lines fighting taxpayer funding of abortion during the Obamacare fight in 2009 and 2010. Now is the last chance to stop massive taxpayer funding of abortion in through the exchanges before it happens.

If the House passes a CR without funding Obamacare, President Obama and Harry Reid would then have to pass the House CR or otherwise risk shutting down the government.

The deadline is October 1. The time to act is now. Pro-life stalwarts Sen. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee are fighting to stop taxpayer funding of abortion by defunding Obamacare in the CR.

Will you join them?

For Life,

P.S. The health insurance exchanges created by Obamacare – and paid for with our tax dollars – begin implementation on October 1 and will include plans that cover elective abortions. Click here to tell your Representative to end taxpayer funding of abortion by supporting the legislation introduced by Rep. Tom Graves, and opposing any CR that pretends to defund Obamacare using procedural gimmicks. This is the last chance to stop this taxpayer funding of abortion before the exchanges go into effect.
