America needs H.R. 358, the Protect Life Act, in order to prevent public tax dollars from being used to pay for abortions under the new federal healthcare law.
A bill to prevent abortion funding from being provided as part of the new federal healthcare law is stalled in the United States Senate.
H.R. 358 passed the U.S. House a little over two weeks ago. It is now in the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.

You can see a roll call of the U.S. House votes on the bill here (all of Arkansas’ Congressional Delegates voted for the bill).
North Carolina recently passed a law that would have required abortion doctors to provide a woman with an ultra-sound image of her unborn baby, and offer to let her hear its heartbeat. A judge, however, has blocked that part of the law.
Another hearing on the law is scheduled for December. You can read the story from the Associated Press here.
