ProLife Wisconsin petition to stop taxpayer funding of abortions in WI

Pro-Life Wisconsin is calling upon the Wisconsin State Legislature to pass legislation opting the state of Wisconsin out of abortion coverage in its prospective state health insurance "exchange." United States House Resolution (H.R.) 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) allows health insurance plans offering abortion coverage to participate in a state's exchange and to receive federal subsidies unless the state legislature proactively opts-out of offering such plans.

Although the state exchanges do not go into effect until 2014, several states have passed legislation to opt-out of abortion coverage including Arizona, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Missouri and Oklahoma. In poll after poll, Americans overwhelmingly say they oppose the inclusion of taxpayer-funded abortion in health care reform legislation. The state of Wisconsin should not force us to participate in the killing of our preborn brothers and sisters with our federal tax dollars.
