WASHINGTON (December 19, 2009) – The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of right-to-life organizations in all 50 states, strongly opposes the abortion language contained in the "manager's amendment" (amendment no. 3276) that was filed today by U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nv.) to his pending health care bill (H.R. 3590). This statement may be attributed to NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson.
The Reid manager's amendment is light years removed from the Stupak-Pitts Amendment that was approved by the House of Representatives on November 7 by a bipartisan vote of 240-194.
