Obama's 2011 Budget Includes Abortion Funding (SBA)

Obama just doesn't get it.

Poll after poll shows that Americans are increasingly pro-life, and even more Americans don't want their tax dollars spent on funding abortion.

Yet, Obama's proposed 2011 budget doesn't reflect this sentiment. In fact, it does just the opposite, and actually increases taxpayer funding for abortion on-demand both domestically and around the globe.

Under Obama's proposed budget, he asks that American tax dollars are used to:

--Fund the Title X "Family Planning Program" which sends money directly to Planned Parenthood. Obama asked that Title X funding be increased by $10 million this year, which would bring total funding to a staggering $327 million

--Fund Abortions in the District of Columbia because of the loss of the Dornan Amendment

--Fund the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) which promotes Abortion worldwide and works with Population Control officials in China who have promoted Forced Abortions and Sterilizations to enforce their oppressive One-Child Family Planning Policy

--Fund People or Groups that engage in Abortion Litigation under the Legal Services Corporation

You see, we have a big budget fight ahead of us, and the Susan B. Anthony List must be prepared to act quickly to mobilize pro-life Americans to fight Obama's dangerous agenda.

We can't do it alone. The Susan B. Anthony List operates solely on your continued generosity.

And while we've been able to put all our weight behind defeating abortion funding in the health care bill, we now have another war to fight, and we must replenish our war chest.

Because the truth is, the battle to defend human life in the pending health care bill isn't over, either.

During the pregame Superbowl show, President Obama stated to Katie Couric: "I want to come back [after the Presidents' Day congressional recess] and have a large meeting -- Republicans and Democrats -- to go through, systematically, all the best ideas that are out there, and move it forward."

carol, We have to keep up the pressure on the White House and Congress to ensure that abortion is not included in health care reform. The abortion lobby is so entrenched within the Democratic Party there is no doubt that they'll do everything they can to get their way.

In fact, the National Organization of Women (NOW) recently urged President Obama to "... hold tight to the values and ideals that he trumpeted" which includes "passing health care reform that recognizes every woman's fundamental right to have access to the full range of health care services, including abortion..."

And President Obama's political arm, Organizing for America, wrote to its members: "It's clear that we're in the fight of our lives to pass real reform" and "we're fighting for our families and our country -- and we don't quit."

Thanks to your efforts, Susan B. Anthony List has:

--Sent over 600,000 petitions to Congress to Keep Abortion Funding Out of Health Care

--Aired over $215,000 in hard-hitting TV and radio commericials urging Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), and Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) to stand up and protect Women and the Unborn.

--Aired radio commercials in key Congressional districts of pro-life Democrats thanking them for voting for the pro-life Stupak Amendment and urged them to hold strong against party pressure.

--Completed a whirlwind tour in seven states headlined by Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave covering twenty Congressional districts, rallying pro-life women against abortion funding in health care reform and garnering local media attention

--Placed over 630,000 targeted robo-calls allowing pro-life citizens -- with the push of a button -- to lobby their Representatives in Congress

All these efforts have been made solely because of your continued prayers and financial commitment. But, carol, we simply cannot stop. We must keep up the pressure!

With a pending budget battle to protect our tax dollars from funding abortion and our continued efforts to keep abortion out of health care, our efforts must multiply and therefore our war chest must increase immediately.

Help us get over the finish line. We are so close to stopping the biggest expansion of abortion on-demand since Roe v. Wade and must get the word out about Obama's budget proposal.

I know I am asking you to stretch yourself. We cannot afford to be caught off guard. We're winning the battle for Life. Let's keep the momentum going!

Onward to Victory,

P.S. Over 106 million Americans tuned in to watch last Sunday's Superbowl game. How many of those Americans are aware of President Obama's dangerous agenda to fund abortion in health care reform, expand taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, and use our tax dollars to fund forced abortions in China?
