Tell the Obama Administration: "I Will Not be Conned!!"

  



For many medical professionals and institutions, the call to serve in healthcare is motivated by their deeply held faith, morals, and ethics. The American tradition of protecting freedom of conscience ensures the medical profession remains guided by conscience, not coerced against it. Accordingly, I, the undersigned, contend that any proposed healthcare legislation must ensure that everyone is welcomed in life and protected in law by incorporating the following principles:
  1. Healthcare reform laws must expressly prohibit funding for abortion and for insurance coverage for abortion, and must not undermine any existing federal or state restrictions on abortion funding or coverage.
  2. Healthcare reform laws must not mandate insurance coverage for abortions, abortion-inducing drugs/devices, or other drugs/devices that can end life.
  3. Healthcare reform laws must provide broad protection for the freedom of conscience for individuals, entities, and associations. No person, employer, healthcare provider, or insurer should be compelled to act contrary to his, her, or its conscience in the payment for, provision of, or performance of health care.
  4. Healthcare reform laws must not contain provisions that mandate or encourage the withholding, withdrawal or curtailment of effective life-sustaining treatment to the elderly, terminally ill, chronically ill, the disabled, or other vulnerable persons.
  5. Federal healthcare reform laws must not place restrictions on states' ability to enact and enforce legislation that protects and affirms life. For example, states must be permitted to choose which providers and plans to work with and to determine how money will be spent and who is eligible for funds in their state.

Americans United for Life, the nation’s premier pro-life legal team, works through the law and legislative process to one end: Achieving comprehensive legal protection for human life from conception to natural death. The nonprofit, public-interest law and policy organization holds the unique distinction of being the first national pro-life organization in America— incorporated in 1971, before the infamous Roe v. Wade decision.
AUL’s legal team has been involved in every abortion-related case before the U.S. Supreme Court since Roe v. Wade, including AUL’s successful defense of the Hyde Amendment before the Supreme Court. 

AUL’s legal expertise and acumen set the bar in the pro-life community for the creation of effective and defensible pro-life positions. At the state, federal and international levels, AUL works to advance life issues through the law and does so through measures that can withstand judicial obstacles so that pro-life laws will be enforced. AUL knows that reversing Roe v. Wade can be accomplished through deliberate, legal strategies that accumulate victories, build momentum, and restore a culture of life.
