The Obama administration on Tuesday threatened to veto the GOP-backed bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks, calling it a “direct challenge” to a court-protected right for women.
The House is planning to vote on the bill Thursday, the anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court abortion case, Roe v. Wade, and the same day that thousands of anti-abortion advocates will participate in the March for Life.
“Not only is the basis for H.R. 36 scientifically disputed, the bill disregards women's health and rights, the role doctors play in their patients' healthcare decisions, and the Constitution,” the White House wrote in a statement Tuesday. "If the president were presented with this legislation, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto this bill."
The White House issued nearly the same veto threat in 2013, when Republicans last tried to advance the bill. But the administration also added another concern.
Under the bill, rape survivors seeking abortions after 20 weeks would be required to report the crime to police, which the White House said “demonstrates a complete disregard for the women who experience sexual assault and the barriers they may face in reporting.”

Hussein Obama the baby killer.
Its tough taking 'executive action' when you're busy reacting to the other guy's initiatives.
I can’t forget what he said about his daughters being “punished by a ba-by”. Sheese!!
… calling it a “direct challenge” to a court-protected right for women …Is that an admission of the existence of legislating from the bench? Lots of libs still deny it exists.

Noooooo. I can’ts believe it.... Obama said that..???
This is soooo unexpected.
LOL!
I’d love to hear obamatollah say that in a Freudian slip.
More liberal sacrificial baby blood protections offered to the gods of womens right to choose death for the innocents who have no rights. Heaven won’t stand for this ghoulish atrocity forever.
That evil creature is a worshiper of Moloch,
That piece of dog turd really likes killing babies
Given two years before 2016 elections, I suspect that the RINO-controlled House may be rattling the sabor concerning this abortion bill for show, knowing that it will probably be forgetten by 2016 so that they don’t lose women’s votes.
