South Bend Tribune Ad
We would like to clarify some points regarding the ad that was published in the South Bend Tribune on January 21. St. Joseph County Right to Life does not oppose health care reform, and the intention of those whose names appear with the ad is not to oppose health care reform. We are against only those possible provisions of health care legislation that include coverage of abortion, euthanasia, or assisted suicide. The Stupak Amendment that was included in the House version of the bill, does specifically exclude abortion coverage; however, the Senate version of the bill does not include a similar amendment and thereby does not specifically exclude abortion coverage. The Tribune ad states that the “current health care legislation will dramatically increase” the number of abortions. This statement refers to the current Senate bill only. The final bill will be determined by a special committee that will reconcile the differences between the two versions. St. Joseph County Right to Life encourages Congress to create a final version of the health care bill that will clearly exclude coverage of abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide.

Pro-life Health Care Demonstration

More than 50 concerned citizens turned out for a weekday demonstration on a cold wintry day to voice their objection to any health care bill that includes abortion coverage. The demonstration was sponsored by Saint Joseph County Right to Life.

The aim of effort was to encourage Senator Evan Bayh to vote no on cloture of the health care bill if a pro-life amendment is not included, and to vote no if the final version of the bill contains abortion coverage.

Demonstrators lined the sidewalk outside Bayh's downtown South Bend office. They included young and old, families with children, whites and African Americans. Tom Gill, president of Saint Joseph County Right to Life, presented Senator Bayh's office with a letter thanking the senator for voting no on the motion to table the pro-life Hatch-Nelson amendment which would have prohibited abortion coverage. Gill's letter called for no abortion coverage or the promotion of euthanasia or assisted suicide. It stated no legislation should include rationing, embryonic stem cell research, or fail to provide a conscience clause for health care workers. A recent CNN poll showed 61% of American oppose taxpayer dollars being spent on abortion. [http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/11/18/abortion.poll/index.html]
