48 Hours
Sarah Capewell’s son is
dead because of Britain’s nationalized health care system.
Little Jayden was born premature at 21 weeks and 5 days after
conception. If Jayden had been born just two days later,
doctors would have worked to save his life. But the cutoff age
for a premature baby under Britain’s National Health Service
rationing guideline is 22 weeks.
Forty-eight hours
denied Jayden the lifesaving healthcare that he needed to
live. Even without it, he breathed on his own for two hours—a
sure sign Jayden was a fighter. In spite of Sarah’s pleas with
doctors to save his life, they refused to offer even the most
remedial care. They told Sarah that before 22 weeks gestation,
Jayden was only a fetus and had no human rights.
This and worse is what
we can expect if President Obama successfully imposes
government-controlled healthcare on American citizens. From
the very first day, such a system would be desperate for money
to keep it afloat. Nancy Pelosi told reporters that half the
bill “will be paid for by squeezing excesses out of the
system.” This means the rationing of healthcare—denying basic
medical treatment to our most vulnerable citizens—would become
commonplace. You and I can’t let that happen.
Contrary to the
President’s claims the other night before Congress,
abortion-on-demand would be funded and facilitated by his
proposed plan. And the Capps amendment is nothing more than a
smokescreen to cover up abortion funding. Here are more
details if you’d like documentation. Unless it’s
specifically prohibited, abortion would be incorporated as
mainstream healthcare. If so, the number of abortions would
skyrocket—an added death toll to those who succumb because of
rationed care.
From a pro-life
viewpoint, government-controlled healthcare is a blueprint for
death and disaster. So now is the time to let your members of
the Senate and House of Representatives know you oppose any
plan that facilitates abortion or rationing. We can support
healthcare reforms that don't kill innocent human life.
During the next 48
hours please do the following in honor of Jayden. The
President and pro-abortion leaders in Congress are pulling out
all the stops. Our only hope is to mobilize pro-life citizens
in a massive effort to contact their elected officials. We've
made it easy to contact yours: Senators,
Representatives,
and President. If
you don’t know who your senators and congressman are, click here
and enter your zip code. The computer will do the rest.
If you’d like help
composing an email, go here
for sample text you can copy and paste. The important thing is
to let your voice be heard before it’s too late. Please do it
now, and share this email with others. America’s unborn babies
and our vulnerable citizens need you now more than ever.
Please use these next 48 hours to save lives!
Sincerely for the innocent human life,
Bradley
