Stop the Abortion Mandate

Just got an e-mail from David Bereit of 40 Days for Life that I am passing on:
Even as we get ready to open registrations for the fall 40 Days for Life campaign this Wednesday, July22, an EMERGENCY situation has arisen in our nation's capital that requires immediate action!
Powerful abortion industry lobbyists and Washington,D.C. bureaucrats have just launched a MASSIVE effort to mandate taxpayer-funded abortions as part of their proposed trillion-dollar healthcare takeover.
This abortion industry power-grab is attempting to:
* Impose one of the cornerstones of the "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA) by stealth
* Force taxpayers to fund a huge abortion industry bailout -- something the majority of Americans oppose, and certainly cannot afford in these tough economic times
* Mandate that virtually every American be forced into a health plan that includes abortion coverage
* Require honorable medical providers to violate their consciences and perform abortions -- or risk losing their jobs
This morning's New York Times features a prominent story confirming that an "administration official refused Sunday to rule out the possibility that federal tax money might be used to pay for abortions under proposed health care legislation."
Put bluntly, these proposed measures could lead to the largest abortion expansion since Roe v. Wade.
This abortion mandate must be STOPPED!
I was in meetings in Washington much of last week, and 40 Days for Life has been asked to organize a gigantic nationwide webcast uniting the whole pro-life movement to stop this mandate.
You can learn what's at stake -- and discover how YOU can help stop this abortion mandate by joining the one-time-only URGENT webcast this Thursday, July 23, at 9 PM Eastern (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PMPacific.)
If you have access to the Internet -- even with a dial-up connection -- you can listen in on the live webcast audio and submit questions at:
During the event you will discover:
* The shocking facts about the sweeping legislation that the political power brokers are trying to ram through before Congress goes on summer recess...
* The devastating implications of the proposed mandates -- facts the abortion industry doesn't want Americans to hear...
* Why respected leaders, national organizations, and pro-life people are joining together in record numbers to challenge this attempted power-grab...
* The exact action steps YOU can take to make a difference at this crucial moment...
* ...And much more!
Register for the webcast at:
In all my years in the pro-life movement, I've never seen the degree of unity and collaboration that isforming around this vital issue. There's a real chance to make a decisive impact over these next few days!
Dozens of leading pro-life and pro-family groups are joining together for the Stop The Abortion Mandate webcast (and you'll surely be hearing from many of them over the next few days about this event.)
During the webcast, you will hear from nationally known and respected leaders including:
* TONY PERKINS, Family Research Council
* DR. CHARMAINE YOEST, Americans United for Life
* FR. FRANK PAVONE, Priests for Life
* MARJORIE DANNENFELSER, Susan B. Anthony List
* DOUGLAS JOHNSON, National Right to Life Committee
* TOM MINNERY, Focus on the Family
* WENDY WRIGHT, Concerned Women for America
* CONGRESSMAN CHRIS SMITH, U.S. House of Representatives
* KRISTIN HAWKINS, Students for Life of America
* DR. RICHARD LAND, Southern Baptist Convention Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission
* CONGRESSMAN JOE PITTS, U.S. House of Representatives
* CARMEN PATE, Point of View Radio Show*
...And others yet to be announced!
The announcement of this important webcast is being sent out to hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers across America, and there is limited space available for thelive event -- so you are strongly encouraged to register now!
To get on the webcast, go to:
For LIFE,
David Bereit

P.S.- Even if you can't participate in the live webcast, go ahead and register anyhow, because the entire event will be recorded. Our system will automatically allocate your spot to someone else, and as soon as your recording is ready (probably shortlyafter the end of the webcast) we'll notify you.
P.P.S- Please SPREAD THE WORD to every pro-lifer you know! We have a NARROW window of time to stop this abortion mandate, so let's pull out all the stops to get every pro-life American on this webcast!
