Preparing Legal Challenges to Health Care

We are actively pursuing an aggressive litigation strategy now that the pro-abortion health care plan has been approved.

There will be several areas that will be challenged - including the individual mandate - the language requiring Americans to purchase health coverage - even if they disagree with the pro-abortion aspects of the law.  That violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution and one of the key areas that will be litigated.

As many as 35 states - including Virginia and Florida - are poised to file lawsuits once the measure is signed into law.  There are significant issues involving the rights of states which this health care package violates.

As we prepare litigation and challenge this issue in the courts - I want to underscore a point that's getting a lot of attention.

When President Obama struck a deal with pro-life Democrats and agreed to sign an Executive Order on the abortion funding issue, this did nothing to fix the fatally-flawed legislation that was approved.  An Executive Order does not trump law.  The legislation approved - the legislation that will be signed into law - does fund abortion.  And that is what will ultimately be what controls health care - not the Executive Order.

I discussed this issue on FOX News and you can view that interview here.

We're very grateful to the nearly 500,000 of ACLJ supporters who stood with us over the months to oppose this pro-abortion health care plan.

Now, the battle moves from Congress to the courts.  And, we need your help.  You can stand with us - become a part of our legal battle to challenge this dangerous measure.
