CHARMAINE YOEST (President, Americans United for Life): Polling shows over 70 percent of Americans don’t want to see their tax dollars going for it, so that’s what this debate is over, is not whether or not you agree or disagree with abortion, but whether or not at the federal level we’re going to pay for it.
[KIM] LAWTON: Meanwhile, an interfaith group called the Religious Institute gathered signatures of more than a thousand clergy affirming access to abortion.
REV. DEBRA HAFFNER (Executive Director, Religious Institute): We believe that abortion should be safe, legal, rare, and accessible, and that a health care reform should not make it more difficult for women to get abortions in this country.
REV. DEBRA HAFFNER, if there is nothing morally objectionable about abortion, why should it be rare? If it is morally objectionable, why are you supporting it? You can dodge the question from folks like me, but someday you will face your creator and you will not be able to dodge the question anymore.
Every abortion kills a baby.
