By hook or by crook, the bill passed the House of Representatives on a special weekend session late Saturday night. In a move to sway the pro-life supporters, they passed a special amendment that is supposed to eliminate federally funded abortions. But will it really?
John Boehner tried to elect a promise from Democrats that when the bill comes back that it will still contain this amendment and not be subjected to the "trickery" of eliminating this measure from the final bill. As predicted, this amendment will probably totally disappear. It was merely a means of getting votes and the second bill will have the abortion clauses added back in.
These people must think America is made up of stupid idiots who cannot read between the lines. For one thing, mandated insurance is against the Constitution and threatening people with mandatory jail time as well. Everyone who voted for the monstrosity should be impeached. Of course, you will have some representatives who will deny that they didn't vote, they only voted for the pro-life version, people like Steve Driehous, who is already politically in trouble with his constituents because he has repeatedly refused to act in the best interest of the people who sent him to Washington. He will be one of many who will be fired next year.
Of course, this bill still has to clear the Senate. The only reason Harry Reid is delaying the vote for a month or two, is to work the Senators and try to convince them to come around. I wonder how many back room deals will be cut to get votes.
There is still much work to be done to stop this bill from becoming law. Reform must be done correctly. Rushing through this legislation is just plain wrong. Time needs to be taken to cover all aspects and treat everyone fairly. Simply throwing more money at a problem never works.
More money added to the national debt is not the answer here, but Democrats only know how to spend, spend, spend while they move with lightning speed to bankrupt this country. They are digging a hole so deep generation after generation of our kids and grandkids will not be able to dig their way out.
Action is needed to stop this bill from becoming law. Call, write, email, whatever it takes to stop the bill's passage. Again, there's a lot of work that still needs to be done. Take a stand and fight back for your country before it's too late. One Voice
