Even though pro-lifers were criticized for saying that "Obamacare" funds abortion, some liberals, including House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, are now complaining about Obamacare abortion funding that the U.S. House voted to remove Thursday.
The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, which passed 242-179, would require that insurance plans that receive government funding no longer cover elective abortions.
In reaction, some liberals have argued that the bill would increase taxes on small business. "Republicans Include Tax Hike In Latest Abortion Bill," announced the headline of a Huffington Post article by Jennifer Bendery.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regarding federal funding and defunding of abortion, note that the Supreme Court has clarified that the federal government is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Note that the states have not only never amended the Constitution to make having an abortion an express right like the activist justices who decided Roe v. Wade evidently wanted everybody to think, but neither have the states amended the Constitution to expressly grant the feds the specific power to tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes as evidenced by the following excerpt.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So there are more constitutional problems with Obamacare than House RINOs evidently want people to think with respect to defunding abortion.
Nancy Pelosi...the “Catholic” (chortle) progressive...please!..pathetic
“”In reaction, some liberals have argued that the bill would increase taxes on small business. “Republicans Include Tax Hike In Latest Abortion Bill,” announced the headline of a Huffington Post article by Jennifer Bendery””
Why can’t we have a “”Truth in Reporting Act””? These people will come up with any old thing for their readers/supporters who aren’t even up to date in the 19th century yet.
