This is an open letter that I sent to Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) about the Nelson-Hatch-Casey Amendment which would ban federal funding of abortions in any new health care bill passed.

You can contact him yourself by calling (202) 224-5274
(Note: when I called it went straight to voicemail and the mailbox was full)

You can also contact him by e-mail here.

Dear Senator Bill Nelson,

I know from your history on the issue of abortion that you will probably oppose the Nelson-Hatch-Casey amendment, but I urge you, as a constituent in your state, to consider that a November CNN poll found that 61% of Americans reject federal funding of abortions.

It is a violation of the taxpayers’ consciences to force us to fund elective abortions or plans that cover elective abortions.

All the Nelson-Hatch-Casey Amendment does is ensure that the long-standing language of the Hyde Amendment remains consistent in our nation’s health care.

I must inform you that the respect for life is the most important issue to me when I vote. I will not support any politician that believes it is acceptable to end an innocent life in any situation. I personally know many other voters who would agree. I am sharing this letter (along with your response) with them and urging them to contact you as well.

Please respect the wishes of your constituents and the lives of the defenseless.

Please vote yes on the Nelson-Hatch-Casey Amendment.

Sincerely,

Andrew Ensley
