Americans United for Life Offers Urgent Legal Briefing for Senator Nelson

Merry Christmas. Charmaine with Jack and

The Penta-Posse in her DC office

Senator Ben Nelson (D) of Nebraska doesn’t seem to fully understand that your tax dollars will go into the US Treasury and can come out as abortions.

Senator Dr. Tom Coburn noted an analogy: Just as taxpayer dollars go into the Treasury and come out as Social Security, all taxpayer funds are co-mingled and fungible.

To help clarify the cash flow, Charmaine sent this letter to Senator Nelson

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — At 4:45 pm today on the floor of the United States Senate, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska made the following statement:

“…even though they [pro-life advocates] cannot constructively point out how it doesn’t prohibit the use of federal funds or wall off those funds or keep them totally segregated. They just didn’t like the language…”

As a result of this statement, Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President of Americans United for Life, directed her legal team to contact the Senator’s office and offer to provide an urgent briefing to clarify the facts about abortion provisions in the bill. In addition, she has issued this statement:

Senator Nelson has a strong, consistent pro-life voting record, and his vote for the manager’s amendment was a surprise to all of us.

We have contacted his office and have offered to send our top legal team to fully brief him as soon as he has an opportunity. I believe it is absolutely critical that Senator Nelson has all of the facts before he casts his final vote on Christmas Eve.

The facts demonstrate that this bill will create the largest single expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade and impose a first-ever abortion tax on the American people.

As of this posting, Nelson’s office has not agreed to meet with the AUL legal eagles, standing by even over these Christmas holidays. The Senator has been a bit busy with constituent concerns.
