Senator Michael F. Bennet:
Senator Mark Udall:
I am a taxpaying constituent concerned by the fact that the health care reform bills passed by both the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and the Senate Finance Committee would allow federal funds to pay for elective abortions and plans that cover elective abortions.
I was heartened that the House of Representatives voted to adopt the Stupak Amendment, which protects the conscience of the taxpayer on this sensitive issue by banning these funds from paying for elective abortions and plans that cover elective abortions.
I have been following this issue closely and I understand that Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) is planning on offering this bipartisan amendment into the Senate health care reform bill.
I am writing to request you to build upon the bipartisan consensus of the House of Representatives and insert identical language into this bill.
The vast majority of Americans do not want federal funds to go towards elective abortions and plans that cover elective abortions.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Please inform me of your decision on how you will vote on this critical issue.
Susan B. Anthony List Activist
Sincerely,
Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
