Dear Friend of Life, Pro-life Americans have been truly heroic throughout 2009. Many of you have stood tall for the unborn, calling and writing your senators and representatives repeatedly to get abortion and rationing out of the health care reform bills. And it worked when we scored a big victory in the House. The House overwhelmingly passed the Stupak-Pitts Amendment to bar abortion funding, and it couldn't have happened without you! The National Right to Life staff has worked countless hours to flush out pro-abortion strategies, educate the media, and lobby Congress to prevent the biggest expansion of abortion in decades. And we're not done! The House version and the pro-abortion Senate version of the health care reform bill still have to be merged, and that provides another opportunity for us to push the pro-life Stupak-Pitts language and save lives! No American should have to participate in the funding of abortion, and if we're successful, no one will! But the fight this past year has left National Right to Life with tremendous challenges. We had to expend every available resource to try to avert this tragedy, given the number of lives that would be lost. But it means we are desperately short of funds at year-end and the fight over health care reform is now entering its most critical final phase. You can help by giving your most generous possible gift to the National Right to Life Committee at year's end. National Right to Life will immediately put your donation to work to intensify our fight to get the pro-life Stupak-Pitts language into any health care bill that emerges from House-Senate negotiations, and to defeat any health care reform bill that does not contain adequate protections against pro-abortion mandates and subsidies for abortion.
