*Abortion Issue Feared as Top Health Bill Killer*
Obama to signal support for reconciliation tactic

By Kathleen Gilbert

WASHINGTON, DC, March 3, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) - Government funding of abortion, the 
issue that has proven the stickiest in each of the major turns of the 
health care bill, has again arisen as the top clear enemy to Democrats 
attempting to ram the abortion-expanding measure through, reports NPR.

Hyde-amendment language banning all abortion funding in the House health 
bill was one of the key concessions made to win conservative Democrats 
over to the bill last year.  Therefore, majority leaders now fear those 
crucial votes will be lost when presented with the Senate bill, crafted 
under Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, which lacks the Hyde language.

Because of this disparity, reports NPR's Julie Rovner, "the abortion 
problem may be too difficult to surmount."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday attempted to dismiss the Reid 
bill's abortion problem. "I talked to the Catholic bishops about this 
.... there is no federal funding of abortion in this bill," she said.

But Richard Doerflinger of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, which 
has lobbied aggressively against the bill's abortion expansion, 
immediately shot back 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/admintools/newsadmin/%20http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/mar/10030204.html>, 
"We do not know how anyone who has spoken to the bishops could conclude 
that the Senate health care bill does not fund abortions."

Democrats have laid out a game plan that would require the House to 
discard their bill altogether, and instead pass the Senate version 
unamended.  A later bill, intended to bridge gaps between the two bill 
versions, would then be offered to appease House Democrats dissatisfied 
with the more liberal Senate version. To take advantage of the budget 
reconciliation process, the second measure would be deemed a "budget" 
bill, and could therefore be passed in the Senate with only 51 votes.

While pro-life Democrats in the House may jump ship, the Wall Street 
Journal and other sources report that a handful of Democrats who voted 
"no" on the House bill are now undecided. Their votes could be just 
enough to tip the scales back in Pelosi's favor.

Despite the daunting odds, leaders are hoping to push the Reid bill 
through the House by March 19 and finish health care reform before the 
March 29 Spring recess, according to a Democratic memo cited by Inside 
Health Policy's Julian Pecquet and Amy Lotven.

According to ABC's Jake Tapper, President Obama is expected to signal 
support for ramming the Senate bill fix through via the controversial 
reconciliation process - dubbed by some the "nuclear option" - by 
calling for an "up or down vote" on health care reform.

Republicans continue to object that, while their own party has used the 
reconciliation process before, doing so to pass a bundle of compromises 
meant to squeeze health care reform through Congress would be to 
flagrantly abuse Senate rules.

"This use of reconciliation to jam through this legislation, against the 
will of the American people, would be unprecedented in scope," said Sen. 
Orrin Hatch (R-UT) in a Washington Post column Tuesday. "And the havoc 
wrought would threaten our system of checks and balances, corrode the 
legislative process, degrade our system of government and damage the 
prospects of bipartisanship."

The GOP has already cast a wary eye towards Senate parliamentarian Alan 
Frumin, who has the final say on whether the use of reconciliation is 
legitimate.

"I think clearly the majority leader has [Frumin's] ear, and I've got 
concerns," said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), according to Politico. "I think 
if he does not look at that very careful - reconciliation is supposed to 
be very narrowly defined, large legislative things don't seem to fit in 
those parameters - I would think that reconciliation would make or break 
the perception of his objectivity."

When Frumin illegally cut off a Republican stall tactic in December, 
DeMint warned to the Washington Times that the majority party had "a 
parliamentarian in their back pocket."

Pro-Lifers Mourn the Death of ND88's Linda Schmidt; Prosecutor Failed to 
Drop Charges Despite Proof of Terminal Cancer

TMS renews call for Notre Dame President Fr. Jenkins to prefer human 
rights to property rights and ask the prosecutor to drop all charges 
against the ND 88

CHICAGO, March 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Tom Brejcha, president and 
chief counsel of Chicago's Thomas More Society--the national public 
interest law firm whose legal team is defending the Notre Dame 88 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103133023255&s=16890&e=001GIU2EeZoxYl82wRAEWsRoRcynxOZ7LCD5EZjkoc43TNnLV_2cZORsNDDQ3wIKaJSZtF9XLCeLAQu3tNk8_nc1BUG39kEpMAF5h7fiYXysZNjtUFyCaGQ2Q==>--is 
sad to report the death of ND88 client Linda Schmidt who died after a 
courageous battle with terminal cancer.

"It is with a heavy heart that we report that Linda Schmidt died early 
last night. While she will be missed by her family and loved ones, as a 
woman of tremendous faith she will no doubt spend eternity with our 
Lord," stated Brejcha. "But our grief at losing this dedicated pro-life 
heroine is greater given the grim truth that she lived her final days 
under this cloud of criminal charges instigated by Notre Dame, which 
remained pending even as she departed this life."

Tom Dixon, lead attorney for the ND 88 and a Notre Dame Law alumnus, 
first sought a voluntary dismissal of the charges against Mrs. Schmidt 
on February 9, 2010. Late Friday, February 19, St. Joseph County's 
prosecutor requested documentation proving the claim of illness. Medical 
documentation proving that Mrs. Schmidt had terminal cancer was provided 
to the prosecutor's office by early morning February 23. It was also 
confirmed that Mrs. Schmidt had been given less than two months to live. 
To date, there has been no response or communication from the 
prosecutor's office. "This sad turn of events puts a very human face on 
the plight of these courageous men and women, most 55 or older, whose 
lives have been turned topsy-turvy with their futures left in limbo 
because they had the courage to assert their civil rights and stand for 
truth," observed Brejcha.

Repeated overtures have also been made to the Rev. John Jenkins, C.S.C., 
president of Notre Dame, urging that he request that the charges be 
dropped. "Sadly, our requests have been met with legalistic, 
disingenuous responses that attempt to pass the buck from Fr. Jenkins to 
the prosecutor. While only the prosecutor can move the court to drop the 
charges, those charges were initiated by Notre Dame, whose campus police 
exercised state powers by arresting the ND88 and hauling them to the 
county jail," Brejcha said. "As the crimes charged were all for alleged 
trespassing in violation of Notre Dame's property rights, there is 
little doubt that the prosecutor will drop the charges if the 'campus 
landowner' -- Notre Dame -- asks for dismissal. Once again, we urge 
Notre Dame to put human rights ahead of property rights and publicly 
request that the prosecutor drop these obnoxious charges."

*Hitler abortion billboard campaign sparks anger*

<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=18096&N=671&L=4741&F=H>
Telegraph
A Polish pro-life group has sparked controversy by using pictures of 
Hitler and a bloody and torn foetus in a billboard campaign designed to 
ensure Poles adhere to the country's strict abortion laws. The 
provocative images, which appeared in the western city of Poznan as a 
part of a promised nationwide campaign, also carry the slogan "Abortion 
for Poles: introduced by Hitler, March 9, 1943." Fundacja Pro, the 
organisation behind the billboard, said that it wanted to remind Poles 
that abortion was first introduced to Poland during the Second World War 
by the country's Nazi occupiers as a means of limiting the population of 
a people they deemed inferior.

13-year-old Lia Mills, who wowed judges and garnered widespread 
international attention last year for her bold speech on abortion (a 
video of that speech has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times), 
has taken on euthanasia this year. In another powerful and articulate 
address, the young Toronto native explores the devastating consequences 
Canada would face if it welcomed euthanasia, and implores Canadians to 
find ways of caring for suffering patients rather than killing them.

Abortion kills a living child. But this simple fact is often too easy to 
ignore since the victims of abortion - even when they survive - rarely 
ever speak about it. But one victim who did survive an abortion and who 
is set to address the Canadian March for Life Youth Conference this May 
14 in Ottawa recently shared her thoughts about the issue with 
LifeSiteNews.com (LSN). Melissa Ohden's biological mother had an early 
induction abortion in 1977. However, Melissa was later born alive -- a 
not uncommon occurrence in this type of abortion - and showed too many 
signs of life to go unnoticed by nurses attending the abortion.
