It only takes a minute to send an email through the the Action Alert tool linked in this email. This is an urgent call for action. I'm still investigating the impact this would have on our health care system, particularly where Christian hospitals are concerned. Feel free to pass this on to others. Silence is complicity! Thanks so much. - Why Mommy is a Republican
As noted previously on Why Mommy is a Republican here and here, the Obama Administration has announced that it is considering the rescinding of the Bush Administration's policy which has protected the conscience rights of health care workers who do not want to participate in abortion.
Since this President is the most pro-abortion in history and has even supported the practice of infanticide by opposing the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, we can consider that it is practically a given that the conscience rule will be rescinded.
It remains vitally important that Americans who value not only the inalienable right to life but also freedom of conscience let the Obama Administration know in no uncertain terms that we do not approve of any attempt to force health-care workers to participate in abortion or risk losing their jobs. The issue is open for public comment for a very short time (only thirty days) so it is urgent that all people of good will take the opportunity NOW to send the Obama Administration a message -- that freedom of conscience MUST BE PROTECTED.
As of Friday, the full notice hadn't yet been drafted and my own search for a public comment area on the conscience rule at the White House website yielded no results, however you may easily send a quick email to the White House on this specific issue through this Action Alert tool at the website of the American Family Association.
House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement about this on Friday and provided much more detailed information in a post on the House Leader Blog yesterday which you may find at this link.
In that post, Boehner referred to Senator Tom Coburn's comments about this in an informal interview with CNS News. Coburn is an OB/GYN who says he and many other health care providers would go to jail before submitting to the President's will that people opposed to abortion on moral grounds must participate in it. Boehner also shares comments made by former President Ronald Reagan to CPAC in 1982 where he called abortion "a great moral evil" as well as the public statement released by Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence in which Pence refers to the "devastating impact" that rescinding of the policy would have not only for health care providers, but also patients.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops expresses "grave concern" and urges the public to take advantage of the public comment period to voice the opposition that surely most Americans still possess in regard to violation of conscience. Boehner, in his blog post, noted that the conscience clause decision will come "on the heels" of a "stinging rebuke" by the Vatican which had been issued in immediate response to Obama's decision to repeal the ban on taxpayer funding of abortion overseas. [TIME offers details in a report entitled "The Vatican Slams Obama Over Abortion."]
NRLC, in a press release dated on Friday, calls Obama's move to rescind the conscience rule the "next step in enactment" of the "expansive Obama abortion agenda".
Rob Stein, writing in The Washington Post, notes his belief that the public comment period "could result in a compromise" but adds that the Administration "acknowledged that [middle ground will] not always be possible."
Please act immediately by sending an email today to the White House through this Action Alert tool at the website of the American Family Association!

Sarah Palin Responds to Contributions Made to Planned Parenthood in Her Name
Governor Sarah Palin today issued the following statement in response to reports that contributions are being made to Planned Parenthood in her name:
“The abortion issue has been with us for decades and has pitted well-meaning people of differing ideologies against each other. Where we can find common ground is in the belief that no one wants a single abortion.
“But when there is a clash of values, I always will come down on the side of life. Making donations to Planned Parenthood in my name might be interesting theater in these politically charged times, but it is not going to change my views or the views of many other Alaskans who believe every life is precious.
“Anti-hunting groups are employing the same tactic of using my name to promote their cause right now. Again, interesting theater.”

Stop the Abortion Bailout
A message to all members of Team Sarah
December 19, 2008
Dear Team Sarah,
Tired of bailouts? Well they aren't going away anytime soon. Now the abortion industry wants one!
We all knew that Planned Parenthood (the number one abortion provider in the country) was going to have a special seat at the table in the Obama administration. Well it hasn't taken them long at all to roll out their extreme agenda.
Tell your Senator today that Planned Parenthood should not get a bailout. Go to www.stoptheabortionbailout.com.
Abortion groups have submitted their 50 page proposal to the Obama-Biden transition team. At the top of the list? More taxpayer dollars for abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood. How much more? Over 1.5 billion dollars more!
The Abortion Bailout Package:
**$1 BILLION dollars in taxpayer funding for International Abortion Groups like UNFPA, an international aid organization connected to coercive abortion as part of China's coercive one-child policy
**$700 million in taxpayer funding for "Title X" Health Clinics (aka your local Planned Parenthood affiliate)
**Repeal the Hyde Amendment -- Vastly expanding federal taxpayer funding for abortions
**Include Abortion coverage in any taxpayer-subsidized national health care program
**Expand taxpayer-funded abortions through the Peace Corps program
It is an outrage for Planned Parenthood to expect you to give your hard earned dollars to fund the destruction of innocent life.
Join citizens across our great country in telling their Senators to keep your tax dollars out of the abortion providers.
Tell them to Stop the Abortion Bailout! Sign the Petition today!

W.A.M. SOS: It's Time to Turn the Tide
There is a dangerous trend happening which, together, we can prevent.
Blocked or impeded Internet activity shows it is time for DIRECT VOTER OUTREACH to our own neighbors, friends and family. That's what the obamanation does-to win this election, shouldn't we do as well?
We all know of Obama's attempts to remove all criticism from the public airwaves through pressure on the FCC and threats of litigation. As part of this pattern, other related violations of freedom of speech have followed:
- On Monday a W.A.M. volunteer reported that both Yahoo and Google refused to produce her prepaid pro-Palin ad on no other basis than "undesirable product"
- the contents of which were in good taste and not inflammatory.
-Today FOX news reported that MSNBC is disallowing any anti-democratic comments from the network's online activity.
On a seemingly unrelated front, informed voters are aware of Obama's repeated voting pattern. in IL Senate, to de-legitimize the rights of infants who survive abortion to survive.
At the same time, his campaign has targeted young women voters with scare tactics about a bogus Sara Palin 'plan' to reverse Roe vs. Wade. Political insiders recognize this invented issue is a 'political football' used to divert attention from Obama's vague, vacillating position on critical national issues.
This morning's news carries 2 eye-opening events, which nobama activists can capitalize on to start turning the tide of recent pro-Obama polls.
-Good news from California is a NOW leader's very public endorsement of Palin, describing her as "what a (true )feminist looks like". The NOW organization has insisted that this long-time Democrat activist's statement be niched as a mere "personal statement"
- with viral distribution, this event can - with your participation - turn the tide on Obama's scare tactics to turn off Independents from a McCain/Palin vote.
-Bad news from Australia helps to connect the dots, demonstrating that far left attempts to take-over the globe are not limited to North America. This week the Aussie Parliament will vote on a bill to approve all abortions - including final term pregnancies- on demand. Notice how this corresponds to Obama's own baby-killing stand. This is not pro-choice- it is anti-life!
Wake Up America Movement has a strategy to use all this news to turn the public tide to nobama and pro-Palin in one fell swoop. W.A.M.'s new "Read My Lipstick" KISS campaign will provide bloggers and Internet activists with an empowering, grass roots Action to take. If all of us who know enough to care outreach to our friends and family who might care to know, we can reshape public opinion this week - on what a true feminist Sara Palin is and what a 'man of the people' Obama is not! KISS, which means Keep It Simple Stupid is a strategy to inform mainstream voters, in a friendly polite way, of real election facts. If you haven't yet done so, Join W.A.M. now and help turn the tide of public opinion!
