President Obama Comments on Abortion in Health-Care Reform
This inexperienced Marxist Con Man tells more lies using confusion and support of idiots. He should be a snake oil salesman in Europe, not the President of the United States:
The president made statements that appear to land on both sides of the issue.
If you voted for me, I know you believe any lie I tell you....
President Obama said in an interview with ABC News on Monday that he doesn’t want to change the “status quo” with regard to government funding of abortion.
To date, the proposals have offered funding for abortion. But a forced vote on an amendment by pro-life Democrats prohibited that. President Obama said he doesn’t want “to restrict women’s insurance choices” – meaning he wants plans that include abortion to continue offering them after the government gets involved.
In the interview with reporter Jake Tapper, Obama appeared to support the Hyde Amendment that prohibits abortion funding in other areas of federal law.
“I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test – that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions,” he said.
While the president sounds like he’s on both sides of the issue, he may be attempting to make a fine distinction. It would appear his argument is that money given to the federal government as premiums and paid out for abortions does not qualify as “tax money,” and therefore is not, in his mind, “federal funding.” Pro-life groups disagree strongly.
