This time around there was not enough agreement between the Democrat and Republican parties to pass the bill either. So now there is an attempt to use what is called “reconciliation” to “ram” this legislation through quickly. It is being attached to a budget bill that would only require a simple Senate majority to pass (51 votes). This would “force” the House to adopt the Senate version of the bill. The version attached to the budget bill will provide for government funding for abortions.
President Obama said he will get together with Republicans tomorrow to see if they have anything to offer. Republicans have offered a bill a couple of times, and it was rejected as insufficient. Why not contact your Senators today (at least email them) and encourage them to stand against this “reconciliation.” It is frightening to think how “loopholes” are being used to take advantage of gaining control over our freedoms.

As one lady puts it, “Let's not be caught unaware. President Obama does not govern openly or honestly; he dictates in the shadows and mandates.”
