Dear Friend,
 Since my message to you yesterday morning, news on the health care bill has
changed almost hourly. Then my phone rang around dinner time Friday
evening with the news that the Democrats in the House were meeting behind
closed doors with Speaker Nancy Pelosi to try to work a deal to solve "the
abortion problem."
The inside reports we had were that the Speaker
was working to craft a deal that she would describe as "pro-life" that would
still keep Planned Parenthood happy. No surprise there.
But now, as I write this at 2:41 AM, we've received
the news that the Democratic leadership WILL
ALLOW A VOTE on the pro-life amendment by Bart Stupak (seen right) and Joe Pitts!
Your calls and emails have made the
difference.
Because of your efforts, Speaker Pelosi did not have the votes to shut out pro-life concerns
and continue to refuse to allow a vote on the Stupak/Pitts amendment.
Now we have to win that vote.
- Please take a moment right now to call your U.S. representative
and tell him/her to vote YES on Stupak/Pitts and keep abortion out of health
care reform.
If Nancy Pelosi has her way, health care reform
will be the LARGEST expansion of taxpayer dollars for abortion in our
history.
Be a part of this important moment
for the pro-life movement: Please call now. The debate is slated to
start at 9am ET! Call now, and then get as many of your friends to call
as possible.
Many of you have been writing
to say that you've already called and want to know what to do next. The
BEST thing you can do at this point is to find more people to call:
Please forward this email to as many of your friends as you can and ask them to
call too. THANK YOU!
The situation will change
rapidly, so we will be posting information as we have it on the AUL
blog, and on Twitter and
Facebook.
Stay hopeful and we will all continue to press in together – we hear
that Speaker Pelosi and the abortion lobby do not yet have the votes they need
to pass this anti-life health care legislation. Wavering Congressmen need to hear from us. So thank you
for standing strong with us today to show Congress that Real Health Care Respects Life!
