For weeks, Focus on the Family Action has been alerting concerned citizens about President Obama's health care reform plan, and its failure to specifically exclude abortion coverage and funding. On September 9th, the president addressed Congress and the nation in an attempt to bolster a plan that has come under increasing criticism from concerned citizens during Congress' recent August recess.

President Obama made it clear in his address to Congress and the nation that the concerns of millions of pro-life Americans – that his health care reform plan will require abortion coverage and funding – are nothing more than a "partisan spectacle" and "bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost." In fact, a non-partisan organization from the University of Pennsylvania has confirmed that unless abortion is specifically excluded from the reform plan, Americans will be forced to pay for abortions. (See the full report from FactCheck.org.)           


Focus Action’s “Phone-a-Thon” To Oppose Abortion in Health Care Reform: September 14-18
In light of President Obama's full-court press to pass a health care plan that will require abortion coverage and funding, Focus on the Family Action is calling on our friends to join a one-week “Phone-a-Thon” to Congress and the White House.

Beginning Monday, September 14 through Friday, September 18, we are asking pro-family citizens to call the White House and your members of Congress to express your opposition any health care reform plan that does not specifically exclude abortion coverage and funding, as well as provide conscience protections for health care professionals who do not want to participate in abortions.

Complete the form below to register for the “Phone-a-Thon” or record that you have made your calls. You will receive an e-mail reminder from Focus Action with talking points and quick access to your legislators' phone numbers.
 

Here are a few talking points to help you express your concerns about the current health care reform plan.
  • I urge you to specifically exclude abortion and include conscience protections for health care workers in any health care reform plan.
     
  • I strongly oppose abortion coverage or taxpayer funding of abortion in any health care reform plan.
     
  • As a taxpayer, it is a violation of my freedom of conscience to be forced to fund or support government-mandated abortion coverage. In addition, health care professionals must not be forced to perform abortions.
To reach your representative and two senators, visit our Action Center and enter your ZIP code.

To leave a message for President Obama, you can call the White House at (202) 456-1414 and press "1" to reach the Comment Line.
