Stopping The Mandate Means Stopping The Bill

The Stupak-Pitts bill would easily be circumvented

The Pelosicare version of the president’s healthcare takeover bill is scheduled for vote on Friday. Speaker Pelosi’s pride and joy is everything the pro-life community, and the country, feared. HR 3962 is a socialist manifesto comprised of 1990 pages of business and personal mandates, business and individual taxes, penalties, new bureaucracies empowered to make medical decisions, and federal funding for abortion.

Throughout the summer and fall, democrat committee chairmen have squashed every amendment offered by pro-life members of both parties. The final attempt to eliminate funding for abortion is the Stupak-Pitts Amendment offered by Bart Stupak (D MI) and Joe Pitts (R PA).

The Stop The Abortion Mandate website conducted a webcast last night to rally support for the amendment via e-mails and phone calls to House members. Replays can be heard or downloaded Here.

It is incumbent upon us all to work for passage of the Stupak-Pitts amendment as a matter of principle. However, as predicted in Crying She Wolf, expansion of unrestricted abortion services, cloaked as essential healthcare benefits and fully funded, will be included in any “public option” signed into law by Barack Obama. Irregardless of passage of Stupak-Pitts.

The only way to stop the Abortion Mandate is to stop HR 3962. Stopping The Mandate Means Stopping The Bill

Rest assured that…
If Speaker Pelosi allows the Stupak-Pitts Amendment to come to a vote she will be confident that it will easily be circumvented. There are, no doubt, an abundance of loopholes and escape clauses buried in the bill that will allow for invalidation or by pass of any amendment that might restrict abortion in any way. The primary reason for the massive size of the bill is to camouflage HR 3962’s most insidious evils.

Anything contained in the House bill, including Stupak-Pitts if passed, can simply be tossed out when HR 3962 is reconciled with the Senate’s version of “healthcare reform”, before a final bill is produced and presented to the president.

Stupak-Pitts addresses only federal funding for abortion. Anyone who knows anything about Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and their cold hearted commitments to unrestricted abortion on demand, knows that nested nicely, somewhere within HR 3962’s 1990 pages, are the means to implement every single provision of the Freedom Of Choice Act by government mandate. Count On It

Last, but hardly least, Stupak-Pitts will not affect the life issues involving government rationing of medical care for the elderly, disabled and chronically ill. Barack Obama has boasted that under the public option “We are God’s partners in life and death” (False Witness). Government will separate the wheat from the chaff in choosing out those who merit the type of state of the art medical care received by Ted Kennedy from those in the swirling masses who warrant no more than a morphine prescription and fond farewell.

It is absolutely critical for the entire pro-life community to voice support for the Stupak-Pitts Amendment. The struggle to protect America’s unborn citizens will not end, even should HR 3962 pass in the House. Congress must be constantly reminded of the  mounting opposition to abortion in the country.

Nevertheless, the only sure way to protect the lives of all of our brothers and sisters, from conception to the moment of natural death, is to stop HR 3962.
