While you oppose the legislation because of the abortion language, you neglect to understand that my daughter's life hangs in the balance. Her pre-existing conditions will prohibit her from securing healthcare. I hold each pro-life supporter, such an oxymoron, responsible for her health and possible death. At $7000/month, she cannot afford necessary medications and injections. I am pro-life...I want my daughter to live.

The whole bill has to be scrapped and Congress must start over, because abortion coverage is not the only objectionable feature of it. In fact the whole undertaking is nothing more than an attempt to impose a totalitarian system on our country. It is simply not acceptable in a free society.

Nobody should ever be forced to pay for abortion. Obama told Congress and Americans that the health care reform plan would not cover abortions. H.R. 3962 needs to be killed, immediately!
