Wednesday evening Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released his 2,074 page version of the Senate health care reform bill -- at an estimated price of $890 BILLION.
MSNBC reported Thursday morning that the Senate bill "would allow the new government insurance plan to cover abortions and would let companies that receive federal funds offer insurance plans that include abortion coverage."
Tonight Saturday evening November 21st at 8:00 pm in a special session of the senate there will be a vote on "Cloture" – which would cut off debate on the 2,074 page Health Care Bill and force the bill to the Senate floor.
The Health Care Reform debate is too important to be shut down at this time.
Call your Senators tonight! This is THE VOTE, as 60 votes can invoke "Cloture" on the health care reform bill. If that passes, only a simple majority will be needed to ram through the entire health care bill -- even if it still includes government funded abortion. The status quo since 1973 is that the government does not pay for abortions due to the Hyde Amendment.
Now it's time to act! Contact your two U.S. Senators
TODAY and tell them:
"Unless any health care bill includes the Stupak-
Pitts language -- at a BARE MINIMUM -- a vote for
Cloture is a vote for government funded abortion!"
