<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>I've
attached a link to the latest from NRLC concerning the attempt by
pro-abortion President Obama and the equally pro-abortion Democratic
leadership in the House and Senate "to smuggle into federal law
sweeping expansions of access to abortion on demand, including
federal funding of abortion, through 'health care reform'
legislation.'" [<A

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>The
leadership knows how deeply unpopular this would be, and works night
and day to keep the public in the dark. Pro-abortion organizations,
however, are less discrete.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>"I think
the big picture here is how do we make sure that all women and
families, regardless of their income, can get access to the full
range of health care options, and I think health care reform is
going to provide a platform for doing that," said Cecile Richards,
president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in
comments reported by<I> National Public Radio </I>in
April.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>Then
there is NARAL President Nancy Keenan, responding on the blog of
</FONT></SPAN><I><FONT size=2>The American Prospect.
</FONT></I><FONT size=2>The<I> </I>subject was, "What Will
Health Reform Mean for Reproductive Rights?" She was asked,
"</FONT><STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>At this point
in time, are you confident health reform will be a step forward for
women's access to reproductive health care, or are you concerned it
will actually be a step back?"</FONT></SPAN></STRONG></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>To understand
her answer, we need to remember that key pro-abortion Democrats have
offered </FONT></SPAN></STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT
size=2>two different health-care restructuring bills.<STRONG>
</STRONG>Both of these bills would empower panels of appointed
officials to mandate coverage of abortion on demand in virtually all
health plans. And they do all this without ever mentioning the
word "abortion."</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>Keenan
put it this way in the interview, which was released on July 7: "if,
indeed, we can advance a panel or commission, then I am very
optimistic about reproductive health care being part of this entire
package." </FONT></SPAN></P>

style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>he Religious Coalition for
Reproductive Choice (RCRC) did PPFA and NARAL one worse, cutting
right to the chase in an email sent out July 1. In the first two

laid out the "threat":</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>"Members
of the Senate Finance Committee are considering a provision to
exclude abortion services from health care reform legislation. This
is unacceptable and we need you to weigh in now.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>"Our
crusade for inclusive, moral healthcare reform is under fire," he
continued. "Please act now to preserve the current standard of
reproductive healthcare and ensure that millions of uninsured and
underinsured women will have access to these
services."</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=2>In case
anyone somehow missed the point, Rev. Veazey laid it out in black
and white: "Let there be no mistake, basic healthcare includes
abortion services."</FONT></SPAN></P>
