The following has been released by the ACLJ:"The House has passed a health care package that fails the American people and does not provide permanent protections for the life of the unborn.
"We are preparing to file a federal lawsuit challenging the flawed health care package.
"Help the ACLJ launch this legal fight immediately! Your donation will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, through the PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOMS Matching Challenge.
"It is extremely disappointing that the House approved a bill that depends on a promise from President Obama.
"Those self-proclaimed pro-life Democrats put their trust in an Executive Order - subject to being rescinded by the President - a move that is not only short-sighted but does not provide the guarantees and pro-life protections secured by statutory language in a law approved by Congress.
"The fact remains that the actual health care bill just approved does fund abortion.
"The question is: Which President Obama do you believe - the President who repeatedly and publicly opposed the pro-life language in the earlier House-passed bill, or the President who now promises an Executive Order to secure the votes he needed to pass a very dangerous health care package?
"The Executive Order is problematic on a number of fronts. It is not a legislative fix and does not carry the force of Congressionally-approved legislation. It does not supersede law. It can be rescinded. And, what should concern everyone: this Executive Order places HHS Secretary Sebelius at the helm of the funding process - a cabinet member who has a long and documented history of supporting abortion.
"Your immediate support, doubled in impact up to $450,000, will help us start the legal challenges to this health care plan!
"The American people won't be fooled. We've heard from more than 500,000 Americans who oppose government-run, pro-abortion health care. They understand what happened - another Washington power-play that ignores what most Americans want.
"This flawed health care package may have passed - but it is far from being implemented.
"We're preparing legal action to challenge this measure and intend to file a lawsuit in federal court soon challenging a law that is not only wrong for America - but one with a forced mandate that penalizes Americans who choose not to participate. That is unconstitutional, and we believe ultimately it will be overturned by the courts.
"Help the ACLJ voice your concerns on health care. Your immediate contribution will have twice the impact through the $450,000 PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOMS Matching Challenge.
"Please pray for this situation, pray for our leaders - and continue to stand with the ACLJ against government-controlled health care and the use of federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortion."
