A new report by the Congressional Research Service reveals that the national health care law allows for federally-funded abortions, despite Democrats' claims to the contrary.
Under one of the provisions of ObamaCare, before the new health insurance exchanges are set up in 2014, the federal government is funding state-based high risk pools to help cover those with pre-existing conditions.
But according to the CRS, the abortion restrictions contained in the new law "would not appear to apply specifically to the funds made available for high risk pools by section 1101."

Gee, don’t know why, but somehow I’m not surprised at all. It was one of the biggies on their wish list to begin with.
As a matter of fact I would be downright disappointed with this administration if they were not able to implement something they said they wouldn’t do just to get the vote.
Actually...I think the second thing that the House and Senate does...after passing something...is to always write the loop-hole law to avoid it. There’s probably a loop-hole committee...mostly guys who drink strong gin...who sit around and think of ways to get out of something.
This report can’t be right — I just went to Bart Stupak’s official website and there isn’t any announcement or protest or analysis. After all, didn’t Congressman Stupak assure us and get a presidential decree or something that federally funded abortions were off limits?
Who Knew???????
