Obama Believes Pro-Life Democrats Fodder for Gifts

The time until the House votes for nationalized heathcare is less than a week away. Nevermind if it passes, it will be the biggest move to socialism America has ever had. Nevermind the majority of Americans see the inherent faults in the sytem of socialized healthcare, and disagree with the plan Obama proposes. Nevermind the plan incorporates the caveat that Americans will pay for any abortion a woman wants, despite the majority being overwhelmingly against it. And nevermind that this plan will balloon the national deficit beyond any conceivable amount.
The pro-life Democrat representatives who can stop this bill are listed below. The word is that Obama and Pelosi will do whatever they feel is necessary to sway these Democrats from a nayvote to ayea vote when they vote on nationalized heathcare in a week. That includes, but is not limited to, special gifts, trips, earmarks, and other privileges given to those who vote with the president.
John Boccieri (OH 16) (202) 225 3876 Mike Ross (AR 4) (202) 225-3772 Paul Kanjorski (PA 11) (202) 225-6511 Steve Driehaus (OH 1) (202) 225-2216 Charlie Wilson (OH 6) (202) 225-5705 Joe Donnelly (IN 2) (202) 225-3915 Jim Oberstar (MN 8) (202) 225-6211 Dale Kildee (MI 5) (202) 225-3611 Brad Ellsworth (IN 8) (202) 225-4636 Jerry Costello (IL 12) (202) 225-5661 Marcy Kaptur (OH 9) (202) 225-4146 Mike Doyle (PA 14) (202) 225-2135 Alan Mollohan (WV 1) (202) 225-4172 Tom Periello (VA 5) (202) 225-4711 James Langevin (RI 2) (202) 225-2735 Baron Hill (IN 9) (202) 225-5315 Jason Altmire (PA 4) (202) 225-2565
Protecting the sanctity of life is a matter of principle. We believe these Democrats will uphold the sanctity of life, despite any coercion or forcing by the president. With the impending vote quickly coming to a head, President Obama has even postponed his scheduled trip to Indonesia and Australia in late March. This vote is of absoluteimportance to him, and will decide the country's course.
The Obama/Pelosi/Reid axis now seems to believe they can ram the Senate's version of socialized heathcare through the House by manipulation, legislative trickery or shear force, without addressing pro-life concerns. Rumors about insisting the bill does not allow federal funding of abortion' is completely untrue. Detailed information reaveals that the bill not only allows abortion as a method for health control, but will allow taxpayer funds to procure those abortions.
Many approaches are being taken to defeat this effort to socialize medicine in America which range from Constitutional to fiscal issues, including deficit spending and personal costs. The danger this bill represents to the life of the unborn is perhaps as great as the Roe vs. Wade decision itself. The president seems spurred by the fact they have a majority of Democrats in Congress. It's a fervent hope that life itself is the highest priority of those Democrats.
We sincerely hope all pro-life Democrats will understand the importance of this issue. This vote dictates everything. Let's hope they're up to it.

Thanks for sharing the list of congressmen who can stop Obamacare from becoming law. Although I consider Roe v. Wade settled law in the sense that we are unlikely to ever get rid of abortion on demand completely, I have yet to see a restriction on abortion I would not support, especially given the constantly changing timeline for successful premature birth. Allowing abortion with sensible restrictions based on fetus viablity is one thing, but the government simply has no business paying for abortions. The government should, if anything, make sure that abortion clinics are safe for the women using them and that no one is coersed into using the services of an abortion clinic. Any hint that viable fetuses are being aborted should bring down the full weight of law and yet we know it does not, since viability outside the womb should equal "human life" under the law. Also, it is insane that we card kids to see an "R-rated" movie but let teen and pre-teen girls get potentially life-threatening abortions with little or no adult supervision. God save us from liberals and statists.
Thank you for your e-mail. I respectfully disagree that Roe vs. Wade is settled law. It goes directly against the Constitution and the Declaration giving the "right to life" highest priority.
As you say, the constantly changing timeline for a successful premature birth will continue to recede until "conception". There should be NO restrictions on fetus viability, especially since a baby has all the chromosomes it needs from conception for being fully human.
Actually, there is no 'safe' way to abort a child. The safest way is always to wait until birth and then keep the baby. Coersion is only one of the dangers of abortion.
'Viability' of the fetus is simply determined by current medical practices. As you say that is getting smaller every year, so are we to say that a baby allowed to live in 5 or 10 years because technology has evolved that much, are not human beings now?
