Harrisburg, PA – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its decision about President Barack Obama’s health care law, which includes public funding for abortion and provisions promoting euthanasia.

Michael Ciccocioppo, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, responded to the ruling’s effects on abortion and euthanasia, saying: “This is a deeply disturbing ruling, which will have profound implications for the right to life. The law is riddled with so many dangerous abortion and rationing provisions that make all Americans vulnerable to any number of life-threatening mandates from the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Therefore, the next president and Congress must repeal the law and enact a new health care reform law that must include clear and unconditional provisions stating that nothing in the law shall be construed to promote, fund or encourage abortion, medical rationing or euthanasia.”
