Of course, there is so much more wrong from a pro-life position in the House and Senate health care bills beyond taxpayer funding of abortion. The rationing of care and possible extension of physician-assisted suicide beyond Oregon and Washington state is another. Putting bureaucrats and politicians, not patients at the center of health care decisions is another. Promotion of abortifacient contraception and non-abstinence sex ed is another. No wonder the National Right to Life Committee is urging pro-lifers to contact their senators to vote down Harry Reid’s abortion health care reform bill.
