Chicago, IL—”President Obama has declared his intention to reduce abortion. Now he is seeking support from the American Medical Association for his health care plan, and we’re calling on him to remember that commitment,” said Eric Scheidler, Communications Director of the Pro-Life Action League. “Our message is simple: Abortion is not health care.”
Scheidler’s group will hold a pro-life rally outside the Hyatt Regency in Chicago starting at 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 15, where Obama will speak on his health care plan to A.M.A. delegates.
In his commencement address at Notre Dame, Obama called for “common ground” on the abortion issue, and stated his desire to reduce abortion, which he called a “heart-wrenching decision.”
Scheidler is calling on President Obama to follow through on this commitment and ensure that any reform of the nation’s health care system will:
“It is time for President Obama to join the pro-life movement in providing compassion and support to the thousands of women in the United States faced with unintended pregnancies who think abortion is their only option,” said Scheidler.
“We invite President Obama to reconsider his position on abortion. But whatever his stand, we can still work together to offer women and families the help and hope they need to choose life.”
