REMOVE abortion services from mandatory coverage: both gov't & private insurance

From: Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 Subject: Keep abortion out of national healthcare legislation

MONDAY, JULY 20, 2009

As Congress plans sweeping healthcare reform, there's a troubling legislative development underway on Capitol Hill ... The proposed healthcare plan currently includes mandatory coverage for abortions in both government and private insurance plans.    This is outrageous!  The ACLJ is demanding (review our press release) that Congress insert a critical exemption to REMOVE abortion services from mandatory coverage.  We need your help. Add your name to our online nationwide PETITION TO STOP AN ABORTION MANDATE now and stand with the ACLJ to keep abortion services out of national healthcare legislation. Decisions about this issue in the coming weeks are essential to the future of the pro-life movement - and, more importantly, the millions of unborn babies killed as a result of any insurance-covered abortion. Demand that Congress include a critical exemption to REMOVE abortion services from mandatory coverage.  Add your name immediately to our online nationwide PETITION TO STOP AN ABORTION MANDATE. Thank you for standing up for life alongside the ACLJ.
