 Pro Abortion Groups Swarm Senate

Pro-Life Prayer-Soldier writes "On 15 Nov 09, Daily Journal Online reported that pro-abortion groups are regrouping in the face of the Stupak amendment which prohibits the use of taxpayer funds for the purposes of abortion.  Abortion was a key stumbling block for passage of the Health Care Reform bill in the House.  The Stupak amendment was credited with removing the obstacle for pro-life Democrats and enabled them to support the Health Care Bill.

Pro-abortion groups, however, are very unhappy with the provisions of the Stupak amendment which prohibits health plans subsidized by federal funds from covering abortion. Pro-abortion groups complain that women are forced to purchase private insurance riders if they wish to have abortion coverage. The article related that Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said, “We’re not going to have health care reform off the backs of women — this isn’t what we’ve all spent our lives for.”

The article indicated that pro-abortion groups intentionally remained silent to avoid adding to the spotlight of abortion during the health care debate. The results of the Stupak Amendment vote, however, caused a furor amongst pro-abortion advocates.  The article related that the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) is working to mobilize supporters through an automated phone bank campaign.  NARAL is also seeking to collect signatures on a petition to be given to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) which demands elimination of abortion restrictions associated with health care reform.

The article also reported that the White House invited a group of approximately 15 representatives of various pro-abortion groups to talk in an effort to prevent any blame being directed at President Obama after he pressed so hard for House passage of the Health Care Reform bill.  The article related that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel communicated the message that President Obama is still the friend of pro-abortion advocates.

After the White House session, the article quoted Terry O'Neill of the National Organization of Women (NOW) as saying, “These are our friends — I don’t think that anybody wants us to be on opposing sides.” O'Neill went on to relate NOWs position that, “we would rather have no health care (overhaul) than a vicious abortion law.”

On 15 Nov 09, FOX News reported that, “White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod suggested Sunday that President Obama will intervene to make sure a controversial amendment restricting federal funding for abortion coverage is stripped from final health care reform legislation.”

The article went on to quote President Obama, in a statement to ABC News, as saying "I laid out a very simple principle, which is this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill. And we're not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions." Obama went on to say, "And I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test -- that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions, but on the other hand that we're not restricting women's insurance choices."

In coverage of the various political statements on both sides of the issue, the Wall Street Journal reported on 15 Nov 09 that Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) said, “What is clear is at the end of the day — for this bill to be successful – is that there cannot be taxpayer funding of abortion.”
