UPDATED–Webcast on the Abortion Mandate in Health Care Reform

By Richard Land - Jul 23, 2009 -

Dear Friends:

In their health care reform plans, congressional leaders and the White House intend to mandate that every health plan include abortion coverage as a standard benefit. If they succeed, our efforts to stop the killing of millions of unborn children will become much more difficult. Pro-life doctors and hospitals may find it impossible to stay in business and honor their pro-life convictions. Abortion centers will appear all over the country. State restrictions on abortion will be nullified.

We must stop this pro-abortion agenda. This is an issue every pro-life person must engage. A great way to start is to plan to participate in an upcoming webcast on the abortion mandate. The webcast will start at 9 p.m. ET, Thursday, July 23. I will join numerous family group and pro-life leaders on this webcast to talk about our concerns. You can register to participate in this webcast by going to stoptheabortionmandate.com.

Much is at stake in our nation today. It is imperative that people of faith engage our nation’s leaders while there is still time. I look forward to joining you on this important webcast to talk about how we can work together for the lives of innocent children.

UPDATE: The Webcast was a rousing success, but it is only a beginning. Go to stoptheabortionmandate.com/action to convey your concerns to your elected officials. If you missed the Webcast, you can listen to the event now.

In His Service,

Dr. Richard Land
