A simple read of H.R. 3200, the present health care act, being considered by the Senate and the House of Representatives will show that there is no mention of abortion in the bill. However, broad powers given to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, who is Kathleen Sebelius—an avowed pro-abortionist, would allow her and her department to pay private insurance companies and abortion clinics for abortions using federal money. It would also allow low-income clients to get money directly from the Federal Government to pay for their abortions.
This bill needs a strict and specifically worded proviso preventing the use of federal money for abortion. This kind of language has been voted down repeatedly by Democrat legislators. However, there is a strongly worded amendment, called the Stupak-Pitts amendment, which would specifically prohibit federal money from being used for abortions. http://www.nrlc.org/AHC/StupakPittsLetterSept282009.pdf
I would strongly request that you write to your Congressman and Senator to vote for the Stupak-Pitts amendment to H.R.3200.
