Won’t subsidize abortions

As a pro life citizen, I do not do support any business that supports abortion and providers such as Planned Parenthood and have asked my financial advisor to be sure none of my investments do as well. I have closed my bank account and changed banks when I found out my provider supported Planned Parenthood.

Now my tax dollars may be used to pay for abortions if the health care bill being discussed passes and there is not an amendment that explicitly forbids the use of tax dollars to pay for abortions. Such an amendment was just voted down.

Since abortion is mandated in the health care bill, every insurance plan will have to cover it and provide means necessary to obtain an abortion. This amounts to a bailout to the already profitable abortion industry.

I don’t want to be forced to subsidize abortions and I don’t think the government has the right to force its citizens to pay for a procedure that they vehemently oppose. Let Congress hear from you on this issue.
