HR 3 the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act"

     
Your immediate help is needed to make sure a bill not only passes but is sent to the Senate with all the force possible behind it.

The bill is HR 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."

HR 3 will establish a government-wide prohibition on abortion funding and ensure that no program or agency will be exempt, so the abortion lobby can't sneak it in through loopholes.

HR 3 -- only the third piece of legislation called in this session of Congress. This is a great sign that pro-life is a high priority for the new leadership.

The bill is sponsored by NJ Rep. Chris Smith -- our greatest pro-life champion on "The Hill" -- and Speaker Boehner is on board, too. So far 175 Reps have signed on as co-sponsors.

That's a lot of co-sponsors, but it's not enough for THIS bill. The Senate -- controlled by pro-abortion Democrats -- will not pass this bill unless it comes with HUGE support in the House.

That means we need MORE pro-life Congressmen to sign on as co-sponsors of the bill.

You can find out if YOUR Congressman is a sponsor -- and get contact info -- right here:

If your Congressman has NOT yet signed on as a co-sponsor, call them TODAY and ask them to "Please sign on as a co-sponsor of HR 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."
