Dear Friends,
Just moments ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a over $1 Trillion Dollar Health Care Reform package. The pro-life amendment to the bill was passed earlier in the night after months of House leaders refusing to allow it to be voted on.
The good news: Leaders realized today that in order to pass this highly controversial bill they had to make sure the bill didn't use government money to fund abortions.
This is a HUGE victory for the pro-life movement. Planned Parenthood is fuming right now!
Thank you for your calls, e-mails, and visits to the Congress.
The bad news: The package still contains troubling pro-rationing provisions in it and is especially concerning to parents of special-needs children, like myself.
Now, on to the Senate where we must make sure any health care reform that passes DOES NOT include abortion and pro-rationing provisions.
Look forward to many more updates from me on this issue.
For Life,
Kristan Hawkins

What do you understand the SA's position to be regarding life, especially in the case of rape, incest, or deformity? Apparently, the General is quoted stating that the SA supports abortion as a choice, "We are not as conservative as our catholic brothers and sisters. There are situations in which abortion is the lesser evil, for instance in cases of severe deformities of the foetus, [or] rape. We try to support women who find themselves in this situation and to be loyal to them, even if they make decisions that we ourselves might not have made." Shame.
