The GAO report reveals federal funding levels for pro-abortion organizations:
There's nothing in the Health Care Reform law, or in the President's Executive Order, to stop federal funding of abortions. The National Right to Life Committee explains why. MORE
As the debate on health care reform intensifies prior to an anticipated vote later this week, The National Catholic Biethics Center would like to draw particular attention to comments from the bishops regarding the the status of the Senate bill and its provisions for abortion. While there are certainly other troubling issues contained within the proposed legislation, the issue of funding for abortion remains critical and undeniable. MORE

Four pro-life Democrats who are among those pro-life groups are hoping will stand strong by voting against the pro-abortion health care bill appear to be weakening. MORE
President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are making a final, all-out push to ram through a massive health care restructuring bill that the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) has branded "the most pro-abortion single piece of legislation that has ever come to the House floor for a vote." MORE
Call your Congressman and tell him/her to vote against the Health Care Bill. 64 Democrats voted for the Stupak amendment, which forbids forcing Americans to fund abortion. This Bill still includes abortion funding. Will the Stupak Democrats continue to hold the line against this outrageous Health Care Bill? MORE
Any member of Congress who votes for the final legislation proposed by President Obama will be voting for direct federal funding of elective abortion through Community Health Centers, and also an array of other pro-abortion federal subsidies and mandates. MORE
President Barack Obama released his FY 2011 budget on Monday and it contains provisions that will force Americans to pay for abortions in the United States and promoting abortion abroad. The budget takes advantage of Congress having overturned the ban on abortion funding in the nation's capital. Obama wants more funding, more counselling, more litigation, and more abortions for one of his key "special interests," the Abortion Lobby. MORE
Released today, the new Rasmussen survey indicates 53 percent of Americans favor a ban on abortion coverage in any health insurance plan that receives federal subsidies. Congressional Democrats are facing a backlash after news broke yesterday that they intend to move forward with plans to ditch a formal conference committee. Today, CSPAN, the cable network that covers Congress, urged Democrats to open the process to public scrutiny. MORE
The bills passed by Senate and House eliminate a vast array of choices that many Americans prefer, such as low-cost insurance. But the most precious choice they destroy is the right to choose life: the right to choose not to support abortion in any way. Not financially, with taxes or premiums. And not by providing hands, facilities, referrals, prescriptions, or permission to perform or enable this "procedure." MORE
Nelson's demand that taxpayer money not be used to fund abortion has still not been met. According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line. MORE
The Democrat’s reform plans would have a powerful ally—the Roman Catholic Church and its huge network of hospitals—were it not for the perception that plans as currently drafted would permit taxpayer funding of abortions. Without the Stupak Amendment, legislation would not have passed the House. A similar battle on amendments is occurring in the Senate. MORE
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nv.) has rejected the bipartisan Stupak-Pitts Amendment and has substituted completely unacceptable language that would result in coverage of abortion on demand in two big new federal government programs. MORE
From the AP: "Health care legislation before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that would affect millions of women and recast federal policy on the divisive issue." Read more.
