*Stupak to Obama: If You Remove Abortion Funding Ban, Health Care is Dead - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 18, 2009, 1:32 pm
Pro-life Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak has issued a stern warning to President Obama. After Obama’s Senior Advisor David Axelrod told the media this weekend that Obama would intervene to remove the abortion funding ban, Stupak told Fox News, “They’re not going to take it out. If they do, health care will not move forward.”
“We won fair and square…That’s why Mr. Axelrod’s not a legislator. He doesn’t really know what he’s talkin
*Harry Reid Wants Vote on Pro-Abortion Health Care Bill This Week - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 17, 2009, 12:51 pm
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wants the Senate to begin voting on health care reform legislation this week. But first, he has to round up 60 votes to vote for a Motion to Proceed which will begin Senate debate on the issue.
Reid still doesn’t have the Senate bill crafted but it is sure to include massive government funding of abortion. … something the pro-abortion Democratic leadership and the White House desperately want.
When the Senate begins voting on the measure, it is lik
*Obamacare Moves to Senate; Stupak Says There Will Be 'Hell to Pay” if His Amendment is Removed - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 12, 2009, 10:38 am
In yet another surprise move, Senator Harry Reid says he will open debate on his version of Obamacare next week Tuesday. Recently, he and other Senators had stated it would take months and even into next year to reach consensus in the Senate on a bill. Apparently, Reid feels momentum from the narrow House approval of Obamacare. It is still a question as to whether he will stick to the Senate tradition of 60 votes needed to advance the bill or resort to what he calls “reconciliationR
*Why the Stupak Amendment on Obamacare Was the Right Strategy - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 11, 2009, 11:55 am
Some are arguing that the Stupak Amendment allowed H.R. 3962, Obamacare, to pass and so the right strategy would have been to kill the Stupak amendment and thus kill the bill altogether. Some groups urged Republicans to vote “present” on the Stupak Amendment to avoid having a recorded vote in favor of abortion funding, so their votes would not be counted and the amendment would fail. Here are the reasons why this strategy was flawed and why support for the Stupak Amendment wa
*Sarah Palin the Person - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 10, 2009, 9:40 am
As with anyone who receives a ton of publicity, people wonder who Sarah Palin really is. Having just had the opportunity to meet her, I can tell you she is the real deal. Genuine, articulate, humble, smart, sincere — not a taint of arrogance. What people find appealing about Sarah Palin is they love what they see — and they are right on the money.
As Governor Palin emerged from behind the curtain Friday night, the enormous crowd erupted in cheers and applause — rock star
*Stupak Wins Round One; Palin Shines - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 9, 2009, 11:20 am
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mi) is not your ordinary household name. But, he is a true pro-life hero. By insisting over and over that no federal funds should be used for abortion, essentially sticking it to Speaker Pelosi and President Obama, Stupak was able to win approval for a vote on his amendment to the health care bill, H.R. 3962, to really prohibit federal funding of abortion. And, the amendment won by a substantial margin. From Wisconsin, voting for the pro-life Stupak amendment were R
*Pro-Abortion Obamacare to House Floor Saturday! - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 5, 2009, 9:21 am
To take immediate action, click here.
Pushing the envelope amidst chaotic positioning of House members, the Democratic House leadership plans to take H.R. 3962, Obamacare, to the House floor on Saturday.
This is still a pro-abortion bill, despite language proposed by Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-In) which excludes the pro-life amendment desired by Rep. Brad Stupak (R-Mi). The Ellsworth language is so transparently cosmetic it is laughable. We have argued that under the government-run public op
*Curtain Up on New Fake Compromise Abortion Amendment to Obamacare - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 4, 2009, 10:05 am
On October 5, this blog explained how pro-abortion Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congressman Henry Waxman were working to break up Rep. Bart Stupak’s group of 40 pro-life Democrats who are willing to stall action on Obamacare. How? Well, by offering another phony compromise to peal off some of the 40. It appears they have captured Rep. Brad Ellsworth of Indiana who is a co-author of “new” abortion language presented to the Democratic caucus earlier this week.

A blog called Heartland Hollar tells its readers to “join Sarah Palin, Wisconsin Right to Life, Charlie Sykes and Heartland Hollar…to protest big-governments intrusion into our personal lives, liberties and freedoms.”

*Pelosi Claims to Have Votes for Pro-Abortion Health Care Reform Bill - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Nov 2, 2009, 10:51 am
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may bring HR 3962, the House version of health care reform, to the House floor as early as Thursday or Friday of this week. She claims to have the 218 votes necessary to pass the bill.
Lurking in the wings is the very stubborn Rep. Bart Stupak, (D-Mi.) who continues to be a thorn in Pelosi’s side. Stupak is adamant that his amendment against abortion-funding in HR 3962 must be introduced, voted on and adopted. Stupak predicts that his amendment, if allowed,

Urgent alerts have been issued by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) now that votes are pending in both the U.S. House and Senate on the various health care reform measures. A vote in the House could come as early as November 5 or 6.
Yesterday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled H.R. 3962, the House merger of three bills passed in various committees. According to Douglas Johnson of NRLC, page 110 of the new bill explicitly authorizes the

Will there be an anti-Palin crowd at the Wisconsin Right to Life Presents Sarah Palin event on November 6 in Milwaukee? Bloggers who appear to have nothing better to do than pound on Palin have their antennae up about the upcoming Palin event. While not blatantly urging people to attend, they do provide a link to the Palin event so that their “followers” can buy tickets, presumably to attend. And, disrupt?
Tickets are going fast and we don’t want the anti-Palin people to c

National Right to Life reports that Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to ram HR 3200, the House health care reform measure, through the House on short notice. On October 23, the AP reported that Pelosi and her leadership team have no intention of allowing Reps. Bart Stupak and Joe Pitts offer their amendment to prohibit federal funds for abortions and abortion subsidies.
The AP reported: “Such an amendment would be almost certain to prevail…So Democratic leaders won’t let Stupak of

A flurry of polls in May showed significant movement in the American public towards a pro-life position with a clear majority now identifying as pro-life. The shift was stunning because it occurred in a one year period. A new Pew Research Center poll released earlier this month reveals that the 14% advantage for those supporting legal abortions has now decreased to only 3%. “The pattern of changes suggests that the election of a pro-choice Democrat for president may be a contribu

*Abortion Photos Featured in New York Times - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Oct 16, 2009, 12:12 pm
In spite of the horrendous news about abortion and rationing in health care reform, there is some very good news developing on attitude shifts on abortion and reduction in abortion numbers on which I will report next week.
But first, a piece of this good news comes from, of all places, the New York Times! One could legitimately claim that for oh so many years, the Times has been the mouthpiece of the pro-abortion movement. They speak — the Times repeats. Imagine our surprise when rep
*Vote Yesterday in Senate Committee Promotes Tax Funded Abortion - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Oct 14, 2009, 11:25 am
After rejecting amendments last week to remove government funding of abortion and protect the conscience rights of health care professionals, the Senate Finance Committee voted yesterday to advance the Baucus health care reform bill.
The Baucus bill contains provisions that would use tax dollars to fund massive abortion subsidies must now be melded with the Kennedy health care reform bill. Both of these bills as well as the three House versions of H.R. 3200 would eventually have to be melded
*You Go, Bart Stupak! - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Oct 13, 2009, 11:41 am
U.S. House Representative Bart Stupak of Michigan is a man on a mission. Stupak is a pro-life Democrat who is determined to get abortion out of health care reform legislation.
As Stupak puts it, “There are many of us Democrats in the House who are philosophically, legally, and morally opposed to public funding.” He said a large coalition of pro-life Democrats and Republicans want the chance to vote on an amendment to remove the huge abortion mandates and subsidies in H.R. 3200,

Twice last week, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs falsely claimed that the current Hyde Amendment would prevent government funding of abortion in the health care bills currently being considered by Congress and supported by the Obama Administration.
Last Wednesday Gibbs was asked about government funding of abortion in the health care measures at a press briefing and Gibbs said, “there’s a law that precludes the use of federal funds for abortion. That isn’t going to be
*Catholic Church Will Oppose Obamacare Absent Changes - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Oct 9, 2009, 11:33 am
The Catholic bishops have remained immune to the President’s/Democrats’ talking points that abortion is not covered in any of the versions of Obamacare being considered by the Congress. If amendments are offered to exclude abortion and they are rejected, as has happened in every House and Senate committee that has considered Obamacare, it’s pretty safe to conclude that abortion is included.
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) sent a letter to Members of Congress yes

Yesterday, I reported on legislative activity in New Hampshire to legalize assisted suicide. Not long after hitting “publish” to post the blog, I received news that C&C (as they are affectionately called) filed a lawsuit yesterday challenging Connecticut’s law which prohibits assisted suicide.

*Assisted Suicide, Euthanasia in New Hampshire, Canada - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Oct 7, 2009, 10:54 am
Serious consideration of measures to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia are being hotly debated in New Hampshire and Canada. The New Hampshire bill would create what is called “suicide tourism” by allowing residents of surrounding states who are regularly treated in New Hampshire to receive assistance with suicide should it become legal. As envisioned by noted author Wesley Smith, people from all over the country could go to New Hampshire for “treatment” and obtai

To the rescue — Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Ca) and none other than Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Confronted by 40 House Democrats organized by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mi) who want an abortion exclusion amendment to H.R. 3200, ardently pro-abortion Waxman and Pelosi (wink, wink) are now working to “fix” the abortion problem. “Democratic leaders….are trying to work out a compromise with a small group of anti-abortion Democrats that would strengthen the Capps amendment language b
*Senate Finance Committee Democrats Slam Older Americans - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Oct 2, 2009, 11:49 am
It couldn’t be worse for those the right-to-life movement seeks to protect. Not only will the proposed Senate and House health care reform bills increase the number of abortions performed, but older Americans will suffer greatly under wording in the Baucus Senate bill. A provision in that bill will give great financial incentive to doctors to provide fewer and less-effective medical treatments. Medicare physicians who authorize treatments putting them in the top 10% of doctors who se
*Senate Finance Committee Smacks Down Right-to-Life Amendments - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Sep 30, 2009, 4:34 pm
Sticking to the Obama/Planned Parenthood agenda like glue, the Senate Finance Committee today smacked down two amendments to prevent the “America’s Healthy Future Act” from providing massive abortions subsidies. Senator Hatch offered an amendment that would have prohibited federal funds from subsidizing plans that cover elective abortions, but would have allowed insurers to sell abortion coverage through separate supplemental policies not subsidized by federal funds.
*Hatch, Enzi, Roberts and Kyl to Propose Right-to-Life Amendments to Baucus Bill - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Sep 28, 2009, 2:18 pm
Expected tomorrow are votes in the U.S. Senate Finance Committee to fix abortion and rationing components of the Baucus health care reform bill. Authoring the abortion amendments are Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and Mike Enzi of Wyoming.
According to Doug Johnson of National Right to Life, the bill as it stands “contains provisions that would send massive federal subsidies directly to both private insurance plans and government-chartered cooperatives that pay for elective abortion…th
*Ziegelbauer Stripped of Chairmanship Because of Late-Term Abortion Vote - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Sep 23, 2009, 9:51 am
The next time you hear there are no pro-life Democrats, remember Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer of Manitowoc. Ziegelbauer was stripped of his chairmanship of the prestigious Assembly Ways and Means Committee by Speaker Mike Sheridan. Why? Because Ziegelbauer voted against a procedural maneuver by the Assembly Democratic leadership to kill a vote on an amendment to the state budget which would have prohibited the performance of late-term abortions at UW Hospital and Clinics and its affiliated en
*Baucus Bill Shifts Health Care Rationing for Older People to Doctors - Life Voice Blog - Wisconsin Right to Life Sep 22, 2009, 10:32 am
Perhaps stung by the charge that health care reform measures will create government “death panels” to determine who gets what care, the Baucus U.S. Senate bill cleverly shifts that onerous task to physicians. This is how it would work:
For at least five years, Medicare physicians who wind up in the top 10% of physicians who spend the most per person for health care will lose 5% of their total Medicare reimbursements for that year.

Support systems for women suffering from post-abortion problems got its worldwide start right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1976, a group of Milwaukee women reasoned that legalized abortion would lead to significant problems for women who have abortions as abortion is a rejection of a natural motherly instinct. Little did they know how accurate they were.
In 1984, Vicki Thorn took the post-abortion ministry to a new level by founding Project Rachael for the Catholic Archdiocese of Milwa

But Stupak is acting like a dog with a bone by confronting President Obama and Speaker Pelosi at every turn when they claim that Obamacare has no abortion funding.
“There certainly is public funding for abortion” in the House bill, Stupak said the day after Obama’s speech in which

Last night, President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on the subject of health care reform.

Of course, Obama didn’t say that last night. Instead he said “One more misunderstanding I want to clear up — under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions
