No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act up For a Vote

Congress has been conducting heavily heated debates over federal funding of abortion for over 30 years. Meanwhile, while the debate rages, unborn babies continue to be killed by abortion. Women continue to be deceived and families are being torn apart, while Congress continues to bicker over whether tax dollars should support a killing field.

Now they're at it again. As early as the week of May 2nd, our esteemed representatives will take up the No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act (HR-3) debate once again. Expect the following rhetoric, from Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other pro-abortion groups, as Republican leadership begins to move HR-3 forward. "It's a Republican war on women", will be the rallying cry and the shot heard over the bow, as a weapon to agitate our secular media to spring into action, and come to women's defense.

For the past 30 plus years, the Hyde Amendment, which has prevented federal funding of elective abortion in the Medicaid program, since 1976, has been hotly debated. In spite of the debates, by conservative estimates, more than 1 million Americans are alive today because of the Hyde Amendment. HR-3 No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, would settle the issue permanently. HR-3 would prohibit funding of abortion in any federal program (except to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape and incest).

Abortion should not be subsidized in any government program. This bill will be facing an uphill battle in order to be enacted in Congress, due to anticipated opposition from President Obama. House Republican leaders should be commended, not condemned, for protecting women and unborn babies with this legislation, and for preventing taxpayers from complicity in serial killing.

Please call your Congressman and ask him/her to support HR-3, and not be deceived by rhetoric and name calling. Be a patriot, and come to the aid of women and their helpless unborn citizens.
