March 21st 2010:
Stupak caves. Obama funds largest Abortion increase since '73.
We lost a great battle today in the quest to stop funding abortion with our tax-dollars.
But I say thank you, to all who joined our fax-campaign and sent nearly 1.4 million
petitions to Congress to save the unborn. Your voices are never in vain.
Ezekiel 3:19 declares,
"If you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul."
Together we prophesied truth to power; their blood is not on our hands.
Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his 12 so-called"pro-life" Dems
caved in today, and sold their souls to vote"pro-abortion" and fund child-killing
on an unprecedented scale. While Stupak boasted his district suddenly received
over $700,000 for airport upgrades, he also dared to claim victory after trading his
vote for a phony executive order that President Obama knows cannot overrule his
new "health" care law that funds abortion.
Two Democrats both admitted the executive order is a sham,
that will not reduce abortion funds by even one penny.
The new abortion funds in the Senate bill, which just passed with HR 4872 on a
219-212 vote,"can't be changed by executive order, because an executive order
can't change the law," admitted pro-abortion Democrat Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL)
on Fox News.
Retiring Democrat Marion Berry (D-AR), one of just a handful to courageously vote
against the bill, agreed:"Despite the recently announced Executive Order addressing
this issue, I remain concerned that this legislation does not go far enough to satisfy
my concerns. As a pro-life Member of Congress, I believe that abortion is fundamentally
wrong, and taxpayer money should not be allowed to support it.
"If only Stupak had such a conscience as Berry.
Obama's proposed executive order contained two false statements:
1) "The Act maintains current Hyde Amendment restrictions governing
abortion policy and extends those restrictions to the newly-created health
insurance exchanges."
(The new law does no such thing, and never did, or there would be no need
for this misleading executive order, that won't stand up to any court challenge,
so abortions will be funded by law.)
2) "Under the Act, longstanding Federal laws to protect conscience
(such as the Church Amendment, 42 U.S.C.§300a-7, and the
Weldon Amendment, Pub. L. No. 111-8,§508d-1) remain intact...
prohibit[ing] discrimination against...health care providers because of
an unwillingness to provide...abortions."
(The National Right To Life Committee rebuked Obama's false statement, saying,
"Nor can the order correct the omission from the pending legislation of the
necessary conscience-protection language ... (the 'Weldon language').")
So no thanks to Bart Stupak, who caved in like the traitor Benedict Arnold,
or Judas Iscariot for his 30 pieces of silver, we must now all pray God will
change the government this November, to oust ALL who voted for this bill,
and demand its full repeal.
Stupak stripped of 'Defender of Life' award he was to receive this week
March 22, 2010,
by Bridget Johnson
An anti-abortion group has stripped Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) of a
"Defender of Life" award he was supposed to receive Wednesday night.
Stupak was to be honored at the annual Campaign for Life Gala of the
Susan B. Anthony List for his efforts to get the Stupak amendments
toughening up restrictions on abortion funding inserted into the healthcare
bill voted on Sunday night.
In an 11th hour negotiation, and refusal by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
to vote on side bills, Stupak accepted an executive order from President
Barack Obama to ensure funds wouldn't be used for abortions.
"By accepting this deal from the most pro-abortion President in American history,
Stupak has not only failed to stand strong for unborn children, but also for his
constituents and pro-life voters across the country,"
Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser
said in a statement.
"Let me be clear: any representative, including Rep. Stupak, who votes for
this healthcare bill can no longer call themselves 'pro-life.'
The Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund will not endorse, or support in
any capacity, any Member of Congress who voted for this bill, or votes for
this bill in any future election."
