40 Days for Life

2/21/2015

Today is the fourth day of the new 40 Days for Life Campaign which runs from February 18 to March 29th.

Saturday is often the busiest day at abortion centers. Some estimates say that there are as many as 8,000 abortions in the United States alone on any given Saturday.
Many communities will take part in 40 Days for Life … a groundbreaking, coordinated international mobilization. We pray that, with God’s help, this will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city — and beyond.

I filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of Missouri citizens, and this is the bottom-line: if the challenge succeeds, this case could effectively end Obamacare in 34 states. Including Missouri.
The suit is all about whether the Obama Administration can spend federal subsidies in states, like Mis- souri, that have voted not to set up Obamacare exchanges.

The House voted 239-186 for the bill, with all but three Republicans voting to repeal Obamacare and not one single Democrat joining them.

The pro-life community opposed Obamacare because it includes abortion funding with tax dollars, the HHS mandate forcing employers to cover abortion-causing drugs, and concerns about rationing health care.
