EXPLANATION: The House is expected to vote this week on the Senate Health Care bill which will abandon longstanding policy against Federal funding and promotion of abortion. Among other things, the Senate Health Care bill will permit the use of federal funds to pay for insurance which includes abortion coverage. It also appropriates billions of dollars for Community Health Centers. These funds are not subject to any abortion restrictions and can be used to directly fund abortion on demand. For more complete explanations of the many pro-abortion effects of the Senate Bill, see http:// www.nrlc.org/AHC/AbortionPolicyHCRBackgrounder.pdf and http:// nchla.org/datasource/idocuments/onepageAbortionFundingfinal.pdf .
