I know how very busy you all are and thought I would update you on what is going on in Washington D C. I receive e-mails from Americans United for Life and just got this one in my in-box. I am sharing this with you just to keep you up to date, not that you have to do anything about it, except, please pray. If the Lord leads you to become more involved, I put their web address at the bottom of this post.

Dear Friend of Life,
We need to act now to prevent Planned Parenthood and its allies from using the Congressional lame duck session to expand taxpayer-funded abortion to U.S. military bases.
Here's the situation: hidden within this year's Defense Authorization Bill is an amendment allowing military clinics to conduct abortions using your tax dollars. Written by outgoing Democrat Senator Roland Burris, this amendment decimates commonsense pro-life policy and allows military personnel to perform elective abortions in military facilities.

Simply put, the Burris amendment diverts limited resources to elective abortions that should instead be devoted to healing and protecting members of our armed services.
The lame duck Senate could begin discussion on this bill at any time so we must act immediately.
New leadership may be on the way to Washington, but the Senate still remains under the control of Harry Reid and his anti-life coalition. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood stands ready to cash-in some political favors in the next couple of weeks. With taxpayer-funded abortion on the ropes, anti-life lobbyists are scrambling to secure new forms of government funding. And military bases are their top target for expanding taxpayer-funded abortion. We cannot let them win or this reckless policy will become law for years to come.

We refuse to let Planned Parenthood gain the upper hand during this critical legislative period. Our military bases should be safe havens for our troops – not abortion clinics. And with your support, they will remain that way.

P.S. The Pro-Abortion Opponents of Life are digging in for a last ditch effort to reward Planned Parenthood with political favors during the lame duck session. Right now their top legislative priority is the Burris Amendment, which would allow military clinics to conduct abortions using your tax dollars
