Take Action: House Committee Votes to Cut Abortion Funding from ObamaCare
The Protect Life Act would resurrect the language of the Stupak-Pitts amendment.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee approved the Protect Life Act on Tuesday by a vote of 33-19. Democrats Mike Ross of Arkansas and Jim Matheson of Utah joined all of the Republicans in support of the bill. Several proposed hostile amendments were defeated.
The Protect Life Act would resurrect the language of the Stupak-Pitts health care reform amendment and remove abortion funding from the health care law. The act is sponsored by Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa. The legislation also would protect the conscience rights of health care workers.
Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, told LifeNews.com: “Critics of the Protect Life Act are working hard to fabricate bogus, diversionary issues in order to deflect attention away from the real target of the legislation — the multiple provisions of the Obama health care law that authorize federal abortion subsidies and abortion-expanding regulatory mandates.”
TAKE ACTION
Please ask your representative to co-sponsor and support the Protect Life Act.

Is there really abortion coverage in the health care law?
