Urgent Update on Healthcare Bill

Everyone's desire is that the 30 million uninsured in America have access to affordable healthcare. However, this cannot be done at the expense of innocent pre-born children. Abortion is not healthcare. It kills infants and wounds women; and no American citizen should have to pay for it. Let millions of federal dollars be released to faith-based initiatives and charities that assist unwed mothers and fund adoption services.

A Great Compromise

Sen. Bob Casey's amendment and Sen. Ben Nelson's compromise are totally unacceptable. Both keep the door open for federally funded abortions. The Bible reminds us in Ezekiel 22 that God decries the political and religious alliance that promotes and legalizes the shedding of innocent blood. Many believed that Senator Nelson would be the man that would "stand in the gap" for the innocent. Instead of thsi being Nelson's Great Stand, it became Nelson's Unjust Compromise as he sold out American children for more money for Nebraska. No true pro-life leader can ever compromise on life. Ezekiel 22:12-13 says, "In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion and have forgotten Me, says the Lord GOD."

The Great Social Problem

The people of Nebraska and the rest of the country will not forget these actions. The shedding of the blood can never be a solution to the great social problems of our day. We reject and renounce Casey's and Nelson's compromised amendments, as well as the compromised statements of support for them by so-called Evangelical Leaders, who cling to the weak and absurd argument that this bill will lessen the number of abortions. What federally funded healthcare will do is make abortion readily accessible and significantly less expensive.

We call all pro-life leaders and citizens to stand unflinchingly against this historic legislation and this great injustice of our day.
