The debate over health care reform has seen a number of controversies over issues as varied as end-of-life care, school programs, and the public option.  However, when it comes to a question of fundamental principles, no issue stands out as starkly as the need to protect life.  While there are sound reasons to take issue with many provisions of the health bill, it is here that we must draw our line in the sand.

Speaker Pelosi has indicated that she intends to push the House to pass a version of the health reform bill that closely mirrors the Senate bill--including an abandonment of the restrictions on public funding of abortion that were a fundamental part of the House bill.  The American people are strongly opposed to public funding of abortion.  This is an issue that goes beyond party lines and speaks deeply to the values and principles that our nation was founded on.

We simply cannot allow health reform that promotes and provides abortion--especially at taxpayer expense.  I urge you to please support the inclusion of pro-life language in any health reform proposal before the House, and to encourage your colleagues to do the same.

Sincerely,
