Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) / Abortionist Leroy Carhart at Pelosi's press conference

Washington D.C., Oct 31, 2009 / 04:51 pm (CNA).- Nebraska late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart was present at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s press conference in support of her new health care reform bill, a pro-life group reports. Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), spotted Carhart holding a sign at the Thursday morning press conference in support of Speaker Pelosi’s proposal.

He is currently under investigation by the Nebraska Attorney General for unsafe medical practices. He allegedly allowed non-licensed persons to give injections, start IVs, and administer controlled substances.

A CWA picture of Carhart shows him at the press conference holding a sign for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC).

RCRC says on its website that it is “deeply troubling” that coverage for abortions remains “unsettled.” It endorses the “status quo” of funding abortion with federal dollars only in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of a woman.

However, at present the health care reform bill lacks a Hyde Amendment or other explicit prohibitions on abortion funding. The Associated Press has reported that the proposed House health care legislation would create “a new stream of federal funding” not covered by current abortion funding restrictions.

Wendy Wright charged that Speaker Pelosi’s bill has gained the support of “the nation's most notorious partial-birth abortionist.”

“Pelosi's bill can now be rightly called an abortionist's dream,” she added. “Under her bill, government money will pay for abortions, even the kind that Carhart commits -- late-term abortions against viable babies that put women's health at risk."

Carhart’s legal challenge to a federal ban on partial-birth abortions was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote in 2007.

Abortion is a democratic promise under their political agenda,as it is their party platform that mandates abortion as a woman's health care right. Forget a plan that considers pro life positions,as democrats simply don't seem to consider it a viable option ever. Of coarse Nancy Pelosi will design an abortionist's dream for a healthcare bill. The democrats have control and they are true to the planned parenthood connection. Opposing abortion will become a hate crime in the near future. Anyway abortion is a way to control whole populations,this is simply a prelude to a future series of bad ideas that will be forced on the public in the future in the name of something that is politically correct but always morally incorrect. People like Carhart shouldn't be given the time of day except as in an extreme act of some profound sense of Christian compassion,in the attempt to turn him away from his own ignorance.

When a woman miscarries a baby the hospital has a loving memorial tribute to the loss of a child, a person. The same woman can have an abortion for the same child and it is ok because it is her choice. Once you are pregnant and the Doctor gives you a due date that is some one's potential birthday. You will have a human being at the end of the plus or minus 40 weeks nothing else. I sometimes wonder where our priorities are? I can guarantee you one thing a Catholic Hospital who takes this health care money will end up having to do abortions but more importantly all the statues, crosses, and daily Mass will also be terminated. They will not allow you to use public tax dollars for such religious things regardless of the fact it is not the case. We had better listen up as Catholics we have never had anyone be worried about our religious rights. Be careful in what you wish for the President has already said something like we "are not only a Christian nation." The only way out is through prayer so we had all better get to praying!

This should be a wake up call to all Pro-lifers and all Catholics. An abortionalsit dream? More like nightmare. Does anyone realize with the amount of taxes they will take out of the system, no one will have much money to left to support the church? For that fact any other charity? Think about it.

RCRC is the stuff of madness, and here in the 21st century, we have another dark sign of the times in which we live. We are all sinners, but the darkest of all sins is the murder of abortion. How someone like Carhart can chop tiny unborn children into bloody bits and the call himself "religious" is something I can't understand, but his assent to the will of Pelosi who dares call herself Catholic is logical: both are committed to furthering the cause of Naral, Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry, all of which are agents of satan.

'Think about this, though. The human-rights-loving Western countries account for the deliberate killing of millions of children annually. The United States alone accounts for the deliberate killing of 1.2 million children a year. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, America has the highest abortion rate in the Western world. Some will counter that these people are not killed under orders or direction from governments. True enough. They are private killings. But they are private killings that are protected by governments. The governments have said not only will we not protect these children; we will protect your right to kill them.'
