Help Stop Radically Pro-Choice HHS Nominee
- Apr 27, 2009
Dear Friends:
The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow on whether to confirm Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS)—a radically pro-choice nominee who appears to have deep ties to the abortion industry—as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Sebelius’ extreme and well established record on abortion speaks for itself. Among her accomplishments as Kansas governor, she has vetoed legislation that would tighten parental notification law, strengthen late-term abortion law, and require basic sanitary conditions in abortion clinics. And just last week, the HHS nominee padded her radical resume even further by vetoing a widely popular bill to require abortionists to provide reasons for performing late-term abortions.
Also troubling is the growing evidence of her ties to infamous late-term abortionist George Tiller. Recent revelations show that the governor had failed to disclose some $27,000 of nearly $40,000 in contributions from Tiller, who also donated another $200,000 to a political action committee dedicated to defeating her pro-life gubernatorial opponent. In 2007, Sebelius held a reception at the governor’s mansion that included Tiller among her guests.
With this ardent pro-choice history and many questions still unanswered, Sebelius is clearly the wrong choice to head our nation’s highest health agency.
If you agree, please contact your senators immediately and tell them to vote “no” on Gov. Sebelius as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
You can call them by dialing the Capitol switchboard at 202/224-3121. Or click here to e-mail them a suggested letter or one entirely your own.
Thank you for taking a few moments to share your concerns on this dangerous nomination with your senators.
In His Service,
