No to Health Care Reform - Operation Rescue/Operation Save America

GRANITE CITY, Ill. (KMOX) -- Some Metro-East churchgoers are putting pressure on an Illinois Congressman to vote "no" when a health care reform bill comes up for a vote in the House.

Daniel Michael of Highland and a group of ten others held a demonstration outside Democrat Jerry Costello's office in Granite City, Friday, "We want to let Congressman Costello know we're concerned Christians and we hope he's against the health care reform bill. We can't have taxpayer-funded abortions."

Michael's wife, Angela, says abortion has no place in a health care reform bill, "They'd be reaching in our wallets to pay for it. That's wrong."

Congressman Costello hasn't said how he'll vote on the bill when it comes up.

His party leaders have now backed off on calling for a Saturday vote.

About Operation Rescue/Operation Save America

Operation Rescue/Operation Save America unashamedly takes up the cause of preborn children in the name of Jesus Christ. We employ only biblical principles. The Bible is our foundation; the Cross of Christ is our strategy; the repentance of the Church of Jesus Christ is our ultimate goal. As the Church changes its heart toward unborn children, God Himself will hear from heaven, forgive our sin, and bring healing to our land.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only answer to the abortion holocaust. It is upon our active repentance in the streets of our cities that the Gospel is visibly lived out. We become to the church, to our city, and to our nation living parables which rightly represent God's heart toward His helpless children.

There are no cheap political solutions to the holocaust presently ravaging our nation. Like slavery before it, abortion is preeminently a Gospel issue. The Cross of Christ is the only solution.
