House vote on Obama-Pelosi-Carhart scheme to publicly fund abortions expected Saturday
UPDATE! The Associated Press is reporting as of Friday afternoon that the scheduled vote on health care that includes tax funding for abortions may be delayed because they don’t have the votes to pass it. PLEASE keep the calls to your Representatives going and keep praying that the Obama-Pelosi-Carhart scheme to force Americans to pay for abortions will be defeated! (Read the AP story)

Wichita, KS – Operation Rescue staffers were among the estimated 2,000 people who attended the Tea Party in Wichita that was a stop on the national Tea Party Express Tour across America.
Operation Rescue joined the rally with the Truth Truck and several signs that read “Stop Abortion Now!” The group was well received by the crowd as well as the national organizers of the event.
“While many attended the Tea Party out of concern for tax hikes, national security, and other issues, there were many who were also concerned about abortion and the expansion of abortion through tax-funded abortions,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “It was great to be a part of this grassroots movement to hold the government accountable to the people it is supposed to represent.”
The House version of the health care bill, which was introduced last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a rally in Washington, D.C., contains specific provisions for tax-funded abortions. Attending the Pelosi rally by invitation was late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart.
A vote is scheduled on the Obama-Pelosi-Carhart scheme to force taxpayers to fund abortions for Saturday, November 7, 2009, at 6 PM (ET). Abortion funding continues to be the major point of contention. Pro-life supporters, including a number of Democrats, are continuing with efforts to strip abortion funding from the health care legislation, or kill it altogether if the abortion provisions cannot be removed.
“Now is the time to contact your representative and let them know that taxpayer funding of abortions is a deal-breaker for the American people,” said Newman. “We cannot let this critical vote go by without letting our voices be heard.”
