Lutherans For Life and LCMS World Relief and Human Care are encouraging Lutherans to join a free webcast discussion about the health care reform legislation under consideration by Congress, as it pertains to abortion.

During the 70-minute program, broadcast live at 9 p.m. EST July 23, congressmen and nationally-known leaders including Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, and Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life will discuss:

• mandated access to abortion services, even if a community doesn't want a clinic.

• clauses that would require medical professionals to perform abortions, which circumvent the "conscience clause."

• mandated tax-payer-funded abortions.

• future health care rationing.

• action steps you can take to make a difference.
