For the sake of millions of babies put at risk by this horrendous bill, please call your Senator TODAY!!

Washington, DC – The Senate version of health care “reform” released this week has not only stripped the Stupak-Pitts language banning taxpayer funded abortions, but has actually added language that will insure massive federal funding — against the will of the American people.

A critical first vote on this betrayal of taxpayers is scheduled for Saturday evening at 8:00 PM ET. Senators will need 60 votes to continue the debate on the bill, which would cost 848 billion dollars and force taxpayers foot the bill for abortions.

Polls continue to show that the vast majority of the American people oppose tax-funded abortions, which will lead to an increase in the grisly procedures, will financially bail out a dangerous and failing abortion industry, and put an additional economic burden on our wallets.

For instance, under this bill YOUR hard earned tax dollars would go to line the pockets of quacks like:

• Alberto Hodari, who was recently sued for forcing an abortion on an unwilling woman while she screamed for him to stop.
• LeRoy Carhart, whose former employees have come forward and provided the state attorney general with affidavits detailing illegal, unsafe, and unclean conditions that endanger women’s lives.
• Pierre Renelique, who continues to operate in New York City after having his medical license revoked in Florida for his part in abandoning a woman in the middle of a late-term abortion where her baby was born alive then tossed on the clinic roof to die.
• Martin Haskell, whose recent spate of ambulance runs from his Dayton abortion mill have highlighted the fact that he is dangerously operating outside the law without a hospital transfer agreement.

It is absolutely imperative that you contact your Senators TODAY and tell them that you want them to vote against further health care debate as long as even one cent is earmarked for abortions.

Kansas City, KS – An abortion clinic employee attacked a pregnant pro-life volunteer outside the Central Family Medicine abortion clinic in Kansas City, Kansas, while she was engaged in peaceful, First Amendment activity.

On November 14, 2009, an unidentified abortion clinic employee came out of the Central Family Medicine abortion clinic and began to taunt the pro-lifers. Her verbal abuse escalated into violence as she rammed her shoulder into sidewalk counselor Jennifer McCoy, who is noticeably six months pregnant. A photograph taken by protest leader Mark Gietzen of the Kansas Coalition for Life shows McCoy recoiling and bracing for the hard impact that occurred a split second later.

Police were summoned, but the abortion worker attempted to flee the scene before they could arrive. McCoy followed the woman to keep her from evading the police. After realizing that she could not get away, the worker returned to the abortion clinic where she hid behind locked doors.

Police attempted to enter the clinic to arrest the woman for battery, but they were denied access by another worker who demanded that the police get a search warrant, then lied to them saying that the woman was not there.

McCoy has since been in contact with police, who are pursuing the case. There remains the possibility that the second abortion worker could face criminal charges for impeding a police investigation.

“This is yet another example of abortion workers engaging in violent or criminal acts, then acting as if the laws don’t apply to them,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We look forward to this woman’s impending arrest and conviction with the hope it will serve as a lesson that abortionists and their collaborators are not above the law.”

Aside from the drama created by the abortion worker’s attack, the pro-lifers were able to persuade two women to abandon their plans for abortion and make decisions to keep their babies during the event. Operation Rescue’s Truth Truck was parked nearby and protesters used an overhead banner that read, “Please do not kill your baby. You will regret it for the rest of your life.”

Flint, MI – A recently filed lawsuit against troubled abortionist Abraham Alberto Hodari alleging a horrific forced abortion may explain his recent efforts to sell off his abortion clinics.

On June 17, 2009, Caitlin Bruce filed a suit against Hodari and his assistant, “Victor”, over an incident that took place at Hodari’s Flint, Michigan, abortion clinic in April, 2008. In that suit, Ms. Bruce alleges that she went to Hodari’s clinic seeking an abortion, but before the procedure began, she changed her mind and decided against it. She notified Hodari that she no longer wanted the abortion.

However, Hodari and his assistant, Victor, forcibly restrained Ms. Bruce, holding her down. Ms. Bruce screamed “Stop, stop, I don’t want this,” but her mouth was covered to muffle her pleas while Hodari forced the abortion upon her.

Included in the suit are six counts against Hodari, including lack of informed consent/medical malpractice, battery, fraud, misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and ethnic/gender intimidation.

Michigan has a statute that forbids intimidation based on gender or ethnicity. Ms. Bruce believes that Hodari forced the abortion on her because she is Black. Statistics show that the abortion industry disproportionately targets Black women.

“This man should be in jail,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “To avoid having to pay for his crimes, it looks like Hodari is trying to liquidate his assets, take the money, and run.”

This is not the first incident of forced abortion for which Hodari has been accused. In February, former Hodari patient Jennifer McCoy came forward and told Operation Rescue of her 1988 abortion at age 16. McCoy never intended to get an abortion and was lured to Hodari’s clinic under the false pretenses that she would be receiving her first obstetrical examination. Instead, Hodari forced an abortion on her. He then returned her 40-year old high school teacher who had fathered the baby in a relationship that qualified as statutory rape. McCoy attempted unsuccessfully to have Hodari criminally charged. (Read full story.)

“Over a twenty year period, we can only imagine how many times Hodari has done this to women. If we know of two, you can bet there were more that we don’t know about,” said Newman. “It is one depraved man that could do that to women.”

Hodari was placed on probation in February for illegally dumping medical records. In March, he was fined a mere $10,000 for his part in the death of Regina Johnson. Hodari has been involved in at least three additional abortion deaths.

“Over the years, Michigan authorities have continually covered for Hodari’s criminal actions. They bear some responsibility for the abuse suffered by women because they know Hodari is a menace, but have done nothing to stop him,” said Newman.
