To follow the money, connect the dots:

Dot 1.  PP did 305,310 abortions in 2007 (source), at an average cost of $450 (source).  That amounted to $137 million in revenue for PP.

Dot 2.  ObamaCare will drive private health insurance out of business so that Government becomes the only alternative.  (Arguably, based on Pres. Obama’s own words, that’s by design.)  Once Government becomes the sole provider, health care will become a “right” of every citizen.  The courts will rule that denying coverage of abortion (a “legal medical procedure”) amounts to sex discrimination, regardless of any legislation or presidential order to the contrary.

Dot 3.  Once the government is paying for them, abortions will no longer be subject to the limitations of the current “free enterprise” system, where people generally have to pay for their own.  With government paying the bill, the costs will skyrocket.  Today, the going price for a D&C, an invasive medical procedure similar in scope and character to abortion, is $5,472 (source).  In the new environment, PP would no longer accept $450; they would demand and receive $5,472 for every abortion.  This would immediately increase PP’s abortion revenue from $137 million to $1.7 billion (with a b).

Dot 4.  But there’s more.  According to Abby Johnson, formerly a PP abortion clinic director, all PP affiliates will be required to perform abortions by 2013.  PP is pushing affiliates to aggressively sell abortions.  If they are able to grab just half of the entire abortion business, say 650,000 abortions every year, that will mean a total abortion revenue of $3.6 billion (with a b).

Dot 5.  Unlike contract and grant money PP gets from the government, this new money would be paid as “fee for service,” so there would be no strings attached. PP would still hire the same abortion hacks they use now and pay them the same money, so the new money would be all profit.  There is so much government money to be had, PP will dispatch an army of paid professionals to lobby (and even buy?) your school boards, your principals, and your teachers for even greater access to your children.  They’d be foolish not to.  Marketing sex to your children will become a multi-billion dollar windfall for PP.  This is an outrageous conflict of interest.

Oh, and by the way, get ready to pay for PP’s abortion marketing programs; they will be disguised as “wellness” programs and will be paid for by taxpayer-funded contracts and grants.  Think about that as you watch PP latest outrage, “I didn’t spew.”  (Warning: prepare to vomit.)

In summary, with all the new money from ObamaCare, there’s a big profit to be made by marketing (first) sex and (then) abortion to our children. Planned Parenthood wants to use our schools to position themselves as the sex experts and promote normal every kind of promiscuous and deviant behavior. When many of them get pregnant, as they certainly will, PP wants to be first in line for the lucrative business of “terminating” the “mistakes.”  It’s an obvious conflict of interest.  The stakes are high … on one side are PP and billions of our dollars; on the other side are us and our children.

I do not like this Uncle Sam,
I do not like his health care scam.

I do not like these dirty crooks,
or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.

I do not like this speaker, Nan,
I do not like this ‘YES WE CAN.’

I do not like this spending spree,
I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free.

I do not like your smug replies,
when I complain about your lies.

I do not like this kind of hope.
I do not like it, nope, nope, nope!

I’m starting a list of lessons learned.  Please suggest your own via comment.

1. There’s no such thing as a “pro-life” Democrat.  The pro-life side is in conflict with the Democrat side; the Democrat side wins almost every time.  One example is Lincoln Davis, who campaigned for pro-abort Harold Ford in 2008 and was listed as “undecided” on ObamaCare in the days leading up to the vote.
2. There are very few Democrats left in DC.  There are plenty of Democrats out in the country, but very few still in Congress.  The Democratic Party has now morphed into a party led by Alinsky-ites.  People like Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Scoop Jackson, etc., would not recognize the Party they have become.  If you don’t know who Saul Alinsky is, you need to educate yourself.  Read his book, Rules for Radicals.  Alinsky was an atheist who rejected any objective standard for right and wrong.  Any means for achieving the “greater good for the most people,” whatever they deem that to be, is acceptable.  His moral authority is none other than Vladimir Lenin, killer of millions.  (See chapter 2 of Rules for Radicals)
3. Dems were lying all along when they claimed to have the votes to defeat ObamaCare.  The final tally shows they didn’t have the votes until Stupak and 4 or 5 others caved.  For Alinsky-ites, lying is a tactic.  One lie is to always portray their plans as being a “done deal” as a way of disheartening their enemies.  We weren’t fooled by this, but Mr. Stupak was.
4. The coming months will demonstrate that no matter how much the Alinsky-ites (and liberals generally) get, it’s never enough.  They want more.  Harry Reid has already announced their intentions to finalize the destruction of private health care and replace it with a government system.  If you oppose them, you hate poor people, you hate minorities, you hate immigrants, etc.  They will never be satisfied until they control every aspect of American life, especially who gets what.  The best way to manipulate people’s voting behavior is to control what they get to earn, keep, and buy.  (For example, “Those evil Republicans want to take away your Social Security, your medical care, etc.)  The irony is that they want to take away your health care with a single payer system that allows them to give back to you whatever they think you should have.
5. You can never compromise with Alinsky-ites.  They are not interested in compromise.  They are interested in re-making America (a really bad place, in their minds) into their vision of what America should be.  They must be defeated.
6. We have allowed our young people to grow up ignorant of the American traditions of freedom and capitalism.  These are inseparable, because you don’t have freedom if the government controls your economic life.  Freedom means more than choosing which TV to buy.  Our generation grew up under creeping socialism and saw the results of it in the 1970s (high inflation, high interest rates, high unemployment).  We also saw how Ronald Reagan restored the principles of limited government in the 1980s, setting off a 28-yr period of unprecedented economic growth and prosperity.  Our children, nieces, and nephews didn’t see all of that.  They don’t learn about the Reagan Revolution in government schools.  People have asked me, “What can we do now?”  My answer: give your sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews a history lesson.
7. If you doubt the serious mess we are in, take a look at Europe.  High taxes suppress economic activity, with the predictable result of chronic unemployment.  Europeans have very little confidence in the future, as evidenced by their fertility rate (less than 2 per woman, well under the break-even rate).  The exception is the population of Muslims in these countries, who are having children at a rate of more than 8 per couple.  They are not assimilating into Western culture; they are maintaining their Islamic culture.  When their numbers are sufficient to control elections and institute Sharia Law, what will that do for human rights?  What about women’s rights?  Demographic experts have estimated that Germans will be a minority in their own country in 5o years.
8. Alinsky-ites have a problem with declining numbers among the voting population in the US.  Liberals they tend to have fewer children than conservatives.  Their most dependable voting group is African Americans, but the population of African Americans is actually on the decline.  (Many Planned Parenthood abortion centers are located in African American neighborhoods.)  Their solution to this problem is to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and promise them a wide range of free goodies out of the public treasury in exchange for their political allegiance.  They will decry any attempt to stop this plan as motivated by hate (e.g., hate against people of color).
9. This ain’t over yet.  Never give up.  The biggest lie they have is the lie that they own us and we can’t do anything about it.  Never give up.
10. Your comments?

Check out this analysis by Michael Barone.

To summarize his major points, a fairly large number of Democrats (especially the thirty-seven who opposed ObamaCare in November) represent districts in which the bill is unpopular to wildly unpopular.  Forty-five of their districts went for John McCain.  Mr. Obama and Mrs. Pelosi are whipping these congress-people to go to the wall for ObamaCare but their constituents are pounding them to pull the plug on ObamaCare. 

We don’t have to get the “undecided” Members to announce their opposition to ObamaCare, we just have to keep them from pledging to support ObamaCare.  And in that pursuit we have the tactical advantage of trying to get these guys to do what comes naturally to them:  The cowardly thing!  Nothing at all!  They just want this to go away without having to vote “no” and getting punished by Mr. Obama and Mrs. Pelosi, or “yes” and losing their seats.  If enough of them stick together and refuse to commit, vote counter Rep. Jim Clyburn (the Dem Whip in the House) can’t tell Mrs. Pelosi that she is now within the six or so vote deficit that would embolden her to bring the bill to the floor and then water-board the weakest half-dozen resisters till they caved.  Mrs. Pelosi thinks she can brow-beat five of these guys into submission with the question called and the vote board open but she knows she can’t brow-beat twenty-five.  And she doesn’t want to risk a very humiliating, televised (C-SPAN) defeat.  That is why Mr. Clyburn (who, remember, is the guy actually counting these votes) says the vote could slip till after Easter. 

 Every day we can keep the “undeclared” from “declaring” worsens the odds for Mrs. Pelosi because there is limit to how long even she and Mr. Obama can tie up the entire mechanism of government on this bill. Our trucks and planes clearly foster indecision and as an obscure Air Force Colonel once observed, “He triumphs who merely escapes defeat till his adversary runs out of gas – or becomes progressively more spooked by the scary mid-term elections which are coming nearer by the day.”  Delay is our friend.  It should be the real focus of our prayer.

Please keep praying.  Try fasting  too.  And please keep calling, e-mailing, facebooking, and twittering (see posting below).

In a previous post, I gave you a list of 30 US Congressmen to call (list repeated below).  Some of you have experienced difficulties getting through.  Some strategies:

• Call the local offices, not just the DC offices.
• Call them after hours, when fewer people are trying to call, and leave a clear message on the answering machine.
• Contact them by e-mail, if you can.
• Contact them through their facebook pages.  This has the added advantage of not being screened out because you live in another district.
• Contact them through Twitter.  Send them a “tweet.”  This has the added advantage of not being screened out because you live in another district.

Here’s the list again:

• Terre Haute, Indiana
• Terre Haute, Indiana
• South Bend, Indiana
• Indianapolis, Indiana
• Evansville, Indiana

We can’t do this by ourselves.  Your gift of $300 will buy a tank of truck fuel, enough to drive two full days.  Click here to help.

Praying and fasting wouldn’t hurt either.  The bill before the House would set back the pro-life movement for decades.

Goverment health care would deliver a lower quality of health care to your family at a much higher cost to you.  What a concept.  Make no mistake — the purpose of this bill is to destroy the system we have, so that people will later cry out for the Government to come back in and “fix” it.  Read Alinsky’s book and other writings of his disciples (Barak Obama being one of them).  Look at how TennCare pushed a lot of people out of private insurance onto the public dole.  Now the government can’t sustain it, leaving people worse off than they were.

Example Blue Dog Truck Sign

Fox News has reported that another US Congressman targeted by CBR’s Blue Dog Campaign has announced that he will not vote for the current version of ObamaCare.  Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) announced that he “would not vote for it” because it funds abortion.  This report came just hours after CBR announced the next phase of it’s campaign urging voters in selected districts to call their representatives and oppose taxpayer-funded abortion.  Rep. Donnelly was one of those targeted.

This is the fourth such announcement by Blue Dogs in the House which have been targeted by CBR’s ongoing campaign.

The campaign features a fleet of billboard trucks bearing large abortion photos to remind voters that abortion is not health care and consequently should not be taxpayer-funded, either directly or indirectly.  The “truth trucks” will continue to operate until the final vote on ObamaCare is taken.  Click here to see the press release.

CBR can do this only through the generous support of people like you.  Click here to help.  Your gift of $100 would buy fuel for a single day of driving.  $600 would buy fuel for a week!

With Rep. Donnelly’s announcement, this next phase of CBR’s campaign will now focus on these representatives:

• Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-IN)
• Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN)
• Rep. John Boccieri (D-OH)
• Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN)
• Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-CA)
• Rep. Chris Carney (D-PA)
• Rep. Tom Periello (D-VA)

President Obama wants to pass this thing next week. Please help today, because every day counts.

First, support CBR’s effort to pressure Blue Dogs to reject ObamaCare with abortion funding. To support, click here. Please do it today; CBR’s trucks are standing by, but I can’t drive them without fuel. One tank of fuel costs $300. Designate for Reproductive Choice Campaign or just e-mail me at Fletcher@ProLifeOnCampus.com.

Second, make 30 phone calls. Please call these 30 Blue Dogs whose votes are up for grabs. Don’t just call your Congressman; call all of them. Source: DickMorris.com. Tell them that the current Senate version and the President’s version both fund abortion, and you oppose funding abortion.

[LIST REMOVED]

The Dem leadership is ratcheting up it’s effort to force ObamaCare into law and pay for every abortion with your money.  Our Blue Dog project has forced several Blue Dog Dems to publicly pledge to oppose any health care bill that fails to prohibit public funding for abortion.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2MS16qUBAc&feature=player_embedded#

Although successful at getting public declarations from some of the Blue Dogs, there are others whose votes are still up for grabs.  We must force the issue.

Stopping ObamaCare will take all of us.  Please click here to help.  I absolutely need your help.  Your gift of $300 would purchase a tank of fuel to drive this truck.  Your gift of $1,000 would buy fuel for a whole week of driving.

Our effort to stop abortion funding in ObamaCare seems to be working! We have been driving our hard-to-miss trucks in the districts of Congressmen whose votes are critical to final passage of ObamaCare. These trucks are fitted with signs (example shown) that invite constituents to call their Congressman and urge him/her to vote against any health care bill that includes funding for abortion. So far, we have gotten commitments from four “Blue Dogs” to vote against any bill that includes abortion funding. They include Rep. Gene Taylor (MS), Rep. Dan Boren (OK), Rep. Steve Driehaus (OH), and Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper (PA). All of them have agreed that they will oppose any legislation that departs from the abortion-funding restrictions contained in the Stupak Amendment to the House version of ObamaCare. Here’s one story. Here is our latest press release. If stopping abortion funding is important, please help us drive this point home!
