The Cypress Times received this letter (via email) from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the pro-life advocacy group, The Susan B. Anthony List last night. This is an important and timely notice which bears attention.
Ms. Dannenfelser's letter follows -
Taxpayer-funding for abortion in the District of Columbia is one step closer
to reality today.
Just a few hours ago, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial
Services and General Government approved President Obama’s decision to weaken
the Dornan Amendment, a long-standing prohibition against the use of your tax
dollars to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia. Fortunately
there is still time to make a change.
Click here and contact your Representatives today. Tell them to
restore the Dornan Amendment before the full House votes on this bill.
Why does this matter? Put simply, laws save lives. When the
government isn’t subsidizing abortion on demand, we see fewer abortions.
Even the other side recognizes this. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, the
research arm of Planned Parenthood, routinely issues reports showing that when
public funding is not available, we see 30% fewer abortions among women who are
eligible for Medicaid. That means at least 30% of babies whose mothers
receive government subsidized health care survive because of abortion funding
restrictions like the Dornan Amendment.
This is why it is so important that you act now to oppose today’s weakening
of the Dornan Amendment! We can still save the lives of the precious
unborn children of the District of Columbia.
Conservative estimates say repealing the Dornan Amendment will result in 1,000
more abortions each year.
Please act now! Click here and tell your Representatives to
protect laws that save lives!
I urge you to consider forwarding this e-mail to as many friends and family
members you can.
Thank you all that you do for the unborn boys and girls!
For Life,
Marjorie Dannenfelser
Susan B. Anthony List President
