Mel Martinez introduced the following amendment into the unconstitutional S-CHIP bill (State's Children's Health Insurance Program).
Amendment Number: S.Amdt. 65 to H.R. 2 (Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009)
Statement of Purpose: To restore the prohibition on funding of nongovernmental organizations that promote abortion as a method of birth control (the "Mexico City Policy").
Great idea, Senator Martinez! There's no better way to protect the health of children than to not kill them in the womb.
The roll call vote went thusly:
Vote Counts:
YEAs 37
NAYs 60
Not Voting 2
No big surprise with the Democrat controlled Senate. Also not surprising is the number of Senators identifying themselves as Catholic who voted against this worthy amendment:
I wonder if these are "ardent" Catholics, "practicing" Catholics or both.
Why, in the face of the worst economy since Carter are we sending money to other countries to help them kill their next generation? Isn't it bad enough we're killing ours?
My suggestion would be to use the links I provided to contact your Senator and respectfully voice your disapproval. I was not able to find an e-mail for my Catholic Senator (Gillibrand) because she is so new so I provided a contact number.
The Bishops of these "ardent" or "practicing" Catholics might want to have a little talk with them.
