April 11th 2007 – Today several pro-life leaders from across the country called on Mitt Romney to call for the immediate repeal of the bill he signed into law one year ago tomorrow that expanded taxpayer-funded abortions in Massachusetts, and which includes Planned Parenthood on an advisory board.
The group also filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding to know the number of abortions that have been paid for with taxpayer dollars as a result of RomneyCare. Information about the group and the history of RomneyCare’s state funded abortion in MA can be found at www.repealromneycare.org .
Statement:
“The signing of the RomneyCare bill one year ago marks the first anniversary of a major expansion of taxpayer-funded abortion in Massachusetts. We hereby call on Mitt Romney to call for the complete repeal of his health care plan until it stops funding abortions with taxpayer dollars. It is intellectually dishonest for a politician to claim to be pro-life yet sign a bill into law that funds the killing of innocent children. We are in the process of filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to demand release of exactly how many taxpayer-funded abortions have occurred as a result of RomneyCare. We call on all Presidential candidates to take an official position on the RomneyCare bill and call for its repeal until tax-funded abortions are stopped.”
