Nonpartisan FactCheck Web Site: Obama Wrong, Abortion Funding in Health Care
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A nonpartisan web site that routinely serves as a watchdog for public officials, the media and political groups says President Barack Obama has it wrong. FactCheck.org says the current health care plans pending in Congress do authorize abortion funding, contrary to Obama's claims otherwise. "Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plan," the web site concludes. At issue are concerns from pro-life groups that the government-run health care plans would include abortion funding and coverage. Obama has said they don't and gone as far as accusing pro-life groups of lying about the legislation. The FactCheck web site, run by staff at the University of Pennsylvania, says "it's true that House and Senate legislation would allow a new 'public' insurance plan to cover abortions." The House bill does so "despite" the addition of the Capps amendment that pro-abortion lawmakers say prohibits abortion funding. "Obama has said in the past that 'reproductive services' would be covered by his public plan, so it's likely that any new federal insurance plan would cover abortion unless Congress expressly prohibits that," FactCheck adds.

Ask them to oppose any health care bill that allows abortion funding or rationing. Call 202-224-3121 or go to http://www.House.gov and http://www.Senate.gov for specific contact information.
Time Magazine Confirms Health Care Bills Include Taxpayer-Funded Abortions
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Time magazine joins the Associated Press and the nonpartisan FactCheck web site in confirming that the health care bills in Congress allow taxpayer-funded abortions. The weekly publication takes Obama to task saying he "does not tell the whole story" on how the bills fund abortions. "The health-care reform proposed by House Democrats, if enacted, would in fact mark a significant change in the Federal Government's role in the financing of abortions," Time explains. Although the health care bills do not overturn the time-honored protections found in the Hyde amendment and federal laws (though they could be easily overturned by a Democratic-controlled Congress, Time explains how the health care bills set up a new scheme that would not be subjected to those provisions against abortion funding. The main House bill, HR 3200, "does find a way for the Federal Government to expand the coverage of abortion services through a government-run program — the so-called public option — without spending what it defines as federal dollars on abortion." Although awkwardly-worded, Time explains that "money collected from members dues" could be used to pay for abortions. Full story at LifeNews.com
Obama Continues Saying Pro-Life Advocates Lying About Health Care, Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
President Barack Obama continues saying he thinks pro-life advocates are lying about the abortion funding, coverage, and rationing components of the health care bills Congress is considering.
Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address that pro-life advocates are making "phony claims" about the legislation. He said the discussion of the government-run health care plans should be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are." Obama said: "Some are also saying that coverage for abortions would be mandated under reform. Also false. When it comes to the current ban on using tax dollars for abortions, nothing will change under reform." Full story at LifeNews.com
Senator Wants Hearings on Obama Admin Veterans Guide Promoting Euthanasia
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
A senator says he wants Congress to hold hearings on a new Obama administration document that some say promotes euthanasia. The Department of Veterans Affairs have revived a guide called "Your Life, Your Choices" that was first published during the Clinton administration. Last year, bureaucrats at the VA's National Center for Ethics in Health Care brought back a 52-page end-of-life planning document that was suspended during virtually all of the Bush administration. It was promoted as the VA's preferred living will throughout its vast network of hospitals and nursing homes but, as Jim Towey writes in the Wall St. Journal, "the Bush White House took a look at how this document was treating complex health and moral issues and suspended its use." Under Obama, the VA has now resuscitated the guide, written by Robert Pearlman, chief of ethics evaluation for the center and who advocated for physician-assisted suicide in the 1996 case of Vacco v. Quill before the U.S. Supreme Court. A worksheet on page 21 lists various scenarios and asks users to then decide whether their own life would be "not worth living."
Now, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter, a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, says the document raises "a lot of questions" and he is calling for immediate hearings on it. Full story at LifeNews.com
Poll Shows Pro-Abortion Senate Leader Harry Reid Trails Republican Challengers
Carson City, NV (LifeNews.com) --
A new poll shows that the pro-abortion leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate is trailing two potential Republican candidates who may challenge him next year. Harry Reid, who has become the number one election focus of a pro-life women's group, is in serious jeopardy for 2010. A new Mason-Dixon Polling & Research poll conducted last week shows Reid trails Republican Danny Tarkanian by double digits. Tarkanian, the former University of Nevada-Las Vegas basketball star and son of the school's longtime basketball coach, runs ahead of Reid 47 percent to 38 percent, with 13 percent undecided. Another potential Reid challenger, state GOP chair Sue Lowden, also leads Reid with 45 percent to 40 percent, and 15 percent undecided. The poll also found that Reid's favorable ratings are very low for a candidate seeking re-election as 37 percent view him favorably compared with 50 percent who view the four-term senator unfavorably. Reid had a 34-47 percent disapproval rating in July -- showing he has made no improvement in his standing with the people of Nevada.

American Psychiatric Association Continues Denying Abortion's Mental Health Risks
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
Ignoring both peer-reviewed studies showing such risks and the direct evidence of millions of women who suffer from an abortion they now regret, the American Psychiatric Association continued denying any abortion-adverse mental health risk at its annual convention. The APA came under national condemnation in August for releasing a report claiming abortion causes no mental health issues for women. The report was criticized as ignoring evidence presented by some members. APA members met in San Francisco, California at its recent annual meeting and heard from a past APA president, Nada Stotland. "Abortion does not cause psychiatric damage, but the claim that it does is a prime strategy of the anti-abortion movement, which has convinced many people in the US," Stotland said. "So if it wasn't a psychiatric issue before, it certainly is now, and we psychiatrists have an obligation to know about it."
Sotland's comments ignore a study conducted last November featuring numerous controls and a national data set that found a link between abortion and psychiatric disorders. Full story at LifeNews.com
ACTION: Contact the American Psychiatric Association at apa@psych.org or 1-888-35-PSYCH and ask it to acknowledge that abortion hurts women.
Catholic Medical Association Opposes Health Care Bill Over End-of-Life Section
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The Catholic Medical Association has announced that it opposes the government-run health care bills in Congress because the House version contains a section that could promote assisted suicide and rationing. The end-of-life counseling portion of the bill has proven extremely controversial. At issue for pro-life advocates is Section 1233 of HR 3200, the health care plan the House will consider when it returns from its August recess. The measure would pay physicians to give Medicare patients end-of-life counseling every five years or sooner if the patient has a terminal diagnosis. Pro-life advocates say the section opens the door to physicians pushing assisted suicide, withdrawal of lifesaving medical treatment, or even basic food and water. While other Catholic organizations like the Catholic Health Association support the bill, CMA does not. John Brehany, a medical ethicist who directs the CMA, told the Catholic Sentinel, ""While it is unfortunately true that physicians are paid for procedures rather than providing advice, and that in many cases people do not give adequate attention to end of life treatment decisions prior to a health crisis, the Catholic Medical Association cannot support Rep. Blumenauer's bill as it stands." Brehany said CMA would have to withdraw support until "it is clear that such consultation would be voluntary and that other safeguards are in place to protect the elderly against pressure to forgo legitimate medical treatment and care."

Abortion Practitioner Leroy Carhart Lays Off Half His Staff, Says Abortions Down
Omaha, NE (LifeNews.com) -- Late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart announced today that he had laid off nearly half of the staff at his Omaha, Nebraska-area abortion center. The move came after a coalition of pro-life groups submitted a complaint to the state attorney general asking for an investigation. Carhart told the Omaha World-Herald he was not aware of the complaint and said he could not discuss the reasons for the layoffs. "This is nothing new," he said. "They are always making stuff up, and they aren't very credible." But, in a letter to staff that the newspaper obtained, Carhart indicated the number of abortions at his center has dropped off. He said the layoffs were the result of "the recent decrease in patient numbers and income." News of declining abortions at Carhart's abortion center comes as other reports throughout the year have shown the poor economy contributing to a rise in the number of abortions. A former employee furnished a copy of the letter and said four of the 10 people who worked at Carhart's abortion center were fired. Full story at LifeNews.com.
"Stoning of Soraya M" Star Jim Caviezel: Pro-Life More Important Than My Career
Hollywood, CA (LifeNews.com) --
Jim Caviezel, the star of the highly-anticipated new movie "The Stoning of Soraya M," says being pro-life is more important to him than this acting career. In a new interview, Caviezel talks about his reason for opposing abortion and the adoption that changed his life and family. Caviezel and his wife Kari recently became adoptive parents to an orphaned boy, Bo, and girl, LeLe, from China. He told the Catholic Digest that the adoptions changed his life in ways he never imagined.
"Dennis Quaid told me a long time ago when he had his son Jack, 'You'll have emotions in you that you didn't even know existed before you had a child.' I now know what that feels like," he said. "Even though they're adopted, it's as strong as any instinct. That's what blew me away," Caviezel added. "I always thought if I adopted that I wouldn't have the same feeling [as I would] if they were genetically my own children. Nothing could be further from the truth." Full story at LifeNews.com.
Pro-Life Lawsuit Filed to Stop Obama's Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life legal group has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the controversial guidelines the National Institutes of Health used to implement President Barack Obama's decision to force taxpayers to finance embryonic stem cell research. Advocates International filed suit against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Francis Collins as head of the National Institute of Health. The lawsuit alleges that the guidelines governing destructive embryonic stem cell research implemented by the Obama administration in July "are contrary to law, were promulgated without observing the procedures required by law." The lawsuit says the guidelines violate the Dickey-Wicker appropriations provision regarding embryo research that prohibits federal funding of creating human embryos by any method, explicitly including human cloning, or any "research in which" human embryos are harmed in any way. According to Thomas G. Hungar, one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs, which includes the Alliance Defense Fund and the Christian Medical Association, "the language of the [Dickey-Wicker] statute is clear" that it "bans public funding for any research that leads to the destruction of human embryos."

Elderly Should be Scared of Obama Administration Over End-of-Life "Death Panels"
by Nat Hentoff
I was not intimidated during J. Edgar Hoover's FBI hunt for reporters like me who criticized him. I railed against the Bush-Cheney war on the Bill of Rights without blinking. But now I am finally scared of a White House administration. President Obama's desired health care reform intends that a federal board (similar to the British model) — as in the Center for Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation in a current Democratic bill — decides whether your quality of life, regardless of your political party, merits government-controlled funds to keep you alive. Watch for that life-decider in the final bill. It's already in the stimulus bill signed into law. The members of that ultimate federal board will themselves not have examined or seen the patient in question. For another example of the growing, tumultuous resistance to "Dr. Obama," particularly among seniors, there is a July 29 Washington Times editorial citing a line from a report written by a key adviser to Obama on cost-efficient health care, prominent bioethicist Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel). Emanuel writes about rationing health care for older Americans that "allocation (of medical care) by age is not invidious discrimination." Full story at LifeNews.com.
Mayo Clinic Doctor Admits Abortions Hurt Women, Cause Premature Births
Rochester, MN (LifeNews.com) --
A physician who works for the prestigious Mayo Clinic has written a new factsheet that admits abortions harm women. Roger W. Harms, M.D., a Mayo Clinic obstetrician and medical editor-in-chief, also says abortions can cause women problems with subsequent pregnancies. The Mayo Clinic posted Dr. Harms' new factsheet, with the title "Does it affect subsequent pregnancies?" on August 6.
Harm says there are definitely cases when physicians see "an abortion cause problems in a subsequent pregnancy." "During a surgical abortion, the fetus is removed from the uterus — often with a vacuum device, a syringe or a spoon-shaped instrument with a sharp edge (curette) — as an outpatient surgical procedure," Harms explains. In some cases, "a surgical abortion may weaken the cervix or cause scarring on the inside of the uterus." "If such damage occurs, surgery may be needed to correct the problems before a woman can conceive again or carry a subsequent pregnancy to term," he said. Full story at LifeNews.com.
Nonpartisan Congressional Expert: 2010 Could be Bad News for Abortion Advocates
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
One of the most respected nonpartisan Congressional elections analysts says abortion advocates could have a tough time in the 2010 mid-term elections. Charlie Cook, the editor of the Cook Political Report sent out an update today saying the health care debate could hurt pro-abortion Democrats leading Congress now. After reviewing recent polling data and the 2010 political landscape, Cook says he can see a scenario where Democrats lost as many as 20 seats in the House. While that would not give Republicans control of the chamber, it would help the pro-life community immensely given that abortion advocates are defeating pro-life amendments to bills by a narrow majority. "These data confirm anecdotal evidence, and our own view, that the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats," he said.
Cook says his election model, "based on individual races, is pointing toward a net Democratic loss of between six and 12 seats. But our sense, factoring in macro-political dynamics is that this is far too low." Full story at LifeNews.com.
