Our sources in Congress have assured us that the health care ‘reform’ battle is far from over.  Members of both houses will meet together to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the health care bill.  The House of Representatives will come back from the holiday recess on January 12 and the Senate will reconvene sometime in late January.

 

NOW IS THE TIME to contact your representative and both your senators to voice your opposition to this bill.  Tell them that you don’t want your tax dollars to support abortion, that you won’t accept a phony pro-life compromise, and that you don’t want the federal government to micromanage the huge segment of our economy that is the health care system.

The AP reports the Senate passed the massive and controversial health care bill this morning.  Meanwhile, the AP also reports that abortion funding could still pose a problem for final passage by both houses of Congress.  Bloomberg reports that the Congressional Budget Office is contradicting Democrat claims that the health bill would save the Medicare system.

 

The final vote is unavailable but will eventually be posted here.  The bill passed on a straight party-line vote (60-39).

 

NRO’s Ramesh Ponnuru and Jeffrey Anderson explain that there still is hope that the abortion-funding health care ‘reform’ bandwagon can be stopped.

Sen. Brownback (R-KS) explains in Politico what is at stake for the pro-life movement in the health care bill.  Excerpt:

 

For over 30 years, the Hyde amendment has prevented the expenditure of federal funds on abortion, which so many regard as the taking of an innocent human life. Named after the late Henry Hyde, longtime member of Congress from Illinois and pro-life hero, the Hyde amendment established the principle that taxpayers should not be required to pay for abortions, even if the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade had effectively overturned 50 state laws to legalize the procedure across the nation.

 

Today, with the health care reform bill emerging from the U.S. Senate, that principle is being thrown to the winds and, with it, the hard-fought efforts of Henry Hyde and the pro-life movement to maintain this basic protection for the unborn.

At 1:00am Monday morning the Senate voted to proceed with consideration of the health care ‘reform’ bill that busts budgets, micromanages the private health care system, and requires taxpayer dollars to fund abortions.  LifeNews explained why the bill still funds abortions, while FRC and National Right to Life spoke out against the bill.  The Minority Leader’s office released a statement alleging that the bill requires a “monthly abortion fee.”

 

If the Senate is able to pass the bill before Christmas, the House will next consider the topic.  The bill will either be reconciled with the House-passed version and then reconsidered by both houses or sent straight to the House to consider without amendment.  Pro-Life Democrat Part Stupak (D-MI) said the Senate-passed bill is unacceptable, but it has yet to be seen if Pro-Life Democrats in the House will stay true to their principles.

 

Senator Nelson (D-NE) was responsible for the compromise that allowed the bill to pass its first hurdle in the wee hours of this morning, and has been receiving vocal criticism from pro-lifers and other conservatives in his home state of Nebraska.

USA Today and the AP report that Sen. Nelson (D-NE) has rejected a supposed pro-life compromise amendment authored by Sen. Casey (D-PA).  Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expressed relief that the Senate health care bill still requires the taxpayer funding of abortion.

Pro-life groups allege that the health care bill “would result in the biggest expansion of taxpayer-funding of abortions since Roe v. Wade.”  This video shows Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) explaining how it is “morally correct” to force taxpayers to fund abortions.

Despite the best efforts of the main stream media to ignore the story, the recent “Climategate” global-warming scandal could lead to a dramatic change in public sentiment and government policy on the issue of man-made global warming.  Emails taken from a prestigious English university appear to demonstrate that an influential core of conspirators in the science community have intentionally hidden information and propagated climate-change propaganda.

 

Despite these revelations, the Obama administration is continuing to promote man-made global warming alarmism.

 

The Climategate scandal could have unexpected benefits for families as the scandal could derail proposed “cap and trade” legislation (or similar environmental laws) which would dramatically increase the tax burden on American families.  Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) has asked for a Senate investigation of the climate-change deception scandal.

 

Columnist Michelle Malkin comments on Climategate here.  Excerpt:

 

"The science is settled," we've been told for decades by zealous proponents of man made global warming hysteria. Thanks to an earth-shaking hacking scandal across the pond, we now have mountains of documents from the world's leading global warming advocacy center that show the science is about as settled as a southeast Asian tsunami. You won't be surprised by the Obama administration's response to Climategate.

 

With pursed lips and closed eyes and ears, the White House is clinging to the old eco-mantra: The science is settled.
