Governor Heineman is getting bombarded with pressure to give prenatal care to Illegal Aliens. So far, Gov H is holding his own and acting on behalf of the Nebraska taxpayer.

If you haven't sent an email or made your calls and try to get every adult in your household to do the same we may lose this battle. - the Public Pulse letters may be sent to: pulse@owh.com and to Gov Heineman's email: dave.heineman@nebraska.gov

Inside word at the unicameral is even though a lot of senators do not want to pass this bill, they may because of the Nebraska Right to Life's support (they have a membership of 67,000 members). Although, I see plenty of pro-lifers writing article comments that they do not support this bill.

NRL and the Bishops and others are saying that by NOT providing prenatal care to Illegal Alien women that will cause them to get abortions. NONSENSE!

That baby is their free ride to welfare and other benefits and services! AND if the Illegal Alien is smart enough to get into our country illegally, then continue to stay here illegally, SHE IS RESOURCEFUL ENOUGH TO MOVE TO A STATE THAT IS WILLING TO PAY FOR HER, HER BABY AND THE NEXT 18 YEARS OF ASSISTANCE FOR THEM.


3/2 Heineman gives an award, gets an earful from Holland on prenatal care for Illegal Alien women.

Nebraska's Roman Catholic bishops are urging Gov. Dave Heineman to reconsider his opposition to state-funded care for pregnant illegal immigrants.

Jim Cunningham of the Nebraska Catholic Conference says a letter from the bishops was hand-delivered Wednesday morning to the governor.
Cunningham says the letter expresses disappointment in Heineman's stance. He declined to release a copy of the letter, saying he wanted to give the governor time to read it first.
Heineman told state lawmakers last week that he's opposed to illegal immigrants receiving taxpayer-funded benefits.
The Legislature is considering a bill that would allow pregnant, illegal immigrants to continue to get state- and federal-funded prenatal care.
