President Barack Obama knows that if his universal health care bill - with the government option - actually does pass Congress against the wishes of a large majority of the American people, including a vast majority of senior citizens, abortion will indeed be funded with American tax dollars.
As "The Washington Times" editorial on Monday said: "President Obama isn't being straight when he says current health care proposals don't provide government funding for abortion. They do. If Democratic plans are passed, your taxes will pay for abortions." The Associated Press on August 5th had a headline "Gov't insurance would allow coverage for abortion." And the "Times" said in response: "There's no wiggle room in that headline."
Once and for all, Obamacare does fund abortions! The president is on very shaky ground considering the American people - by and large - do not yet even know about this fact: Citizens will pay for abortions, even though that is likely an abomination to them; he is trying to pass a universal health care bill in a country which recently tipped over to the pro-life side in the abortion debate. But worse for the president, is the reality that some 70% of the American people do not want their tax dollars to pay for abortions.
As expected, President Obama has turned out to be the most pro-abortion president in American history. Indeed, he has promised his abortion industry supporters that he will sign the infamous -- almost as bad as the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 -- Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which will make all abortions legal and, of course, lead to the public funding of abortion.
Americans need to get involved in the health care debate as never before, especially because of the onerous provisions concerning abortion, or lack thereof. When Republicans introduced seven amendments in congressional committees to prevent abortion from being funded, the Democrats rejected them at every turn.
I urge those wanting to get involved to go to Christian Coalition of America's website and visit the Health Care Action Center [2] to become informed about the issues pertaining to the health care debate and to find out how to get involved, before it's too late.
