Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Leaders have gone
back on their word. They refuse to remove abortion
subsidies from the healthcare bill.
Rep. Bart Stupak has steadfastly opposed these
attempts to hijack healthcare reform with big bailouts for the abortion
industry.
Stupak is standing strong on principle and refuses
to roll over.
“Even if [the Democratic Leaders] don’t have the
votes, it’s been made clear to us that they won’t insert our language on
the abortion issue,” said Stupak.
But Stupak says Pelosi is trying to strong-arm the
12 pro-life Democrats aligned with Stupak. The pressure is extremely
intense and Pelosi is willing to win at any cost.
“I am a definite ‘no’ vote,” said Stupak. “The
others are having both of their arms twisted, and we’re all getting
pounded by our traditional Democratic supporters, like unions.”
The Unions are even promising to recruit primary
challengers against anyone who refuses to support this pro-abortion
healthcare bill.
We can’t stay silent. There’s too much at
stake. These men and women need our help!
These pro-life Democrats need to know that the
American people are on their side. Rep. Stupak says that if pro-abortion
healthcare passes with the support of pro-life Democrats, “It would be
very, very hard for someone who is a right-to-life Democrat to run for
office.”
We can’t let that happen. We can’t let this bill
crush the budding pro-life movement in the Democratic Party.
And more important than any political party, we
must Stand With Stupak and demand that healthcare reform maintain the
status quo: No federal funding for abortion.
Call these pro-life Democrats. Tell them Stupak is
standing up for the little guy. Tell them to “Stand With Stupak.”

I stand with the pro-life members of the House of Representatives,
especially those members who have stood with Rep. Stupak.
I urge you to hold fast to your position, and not to give in to pressure
– no matter the cost!
You have stood with Stupak this far. Please preserve the status quo and
protect taxpayers from funding abortion and companies that perform or
cover abortion.
This is no time to give up. This can be your finest hour. Stand with
Stupak!
