President Obama attempted to allay the concerns of pro-life advocates last week by assuring Americans that federal funding for abortion will not be included in "his" health care reform plan. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius sought to reinforce this sentiment in a recent interview: "Well that's exactly what the President said and that's what he intends that the bill he signs will do.... I think the legislative language will reflect what the President has just said."
What's going on here? Either President Obama has experienced an epiphany regarding the sanctity of human life at every stage of development, or once again his Administration is attempting to pull the wool over the American people's eyes with a rhetorical bait and switch. A review of the facts may provide insight as to which is the case.
Let's take a look at Barack Obama's record to-date with regard to abortion policy...
As a state senator, Barack Obama twice voted against a bill that would require physicians to provide emergency medical care to infants who survive attempted abortion. His explanation? He feared such a law would serve as a tacit acknowledgement of the "legal standing" of the fetus, thereby threatening the legality of Roe v. Wade. Heaven forbid we acknowledge the humanity of an unwanted child, even one that has managed to make it out of the womb alive against all odds.

Don’t worry...the money comes from someplace...The parents of these children aborting their babies aren’t paying for it....Medicaid?? Planned Parenthood??
Ironically, Planned Parenthood started off as an organization intended to encourage people of color to kill their children...
now a Demonrat darling?
Go figure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another irony, the demonrats have been promising inner-city school reform since “Blackboard Jungle” came out in 1955...
we all know how well that’s working out!
I had no idea that was why Planned Parenthood was formed. How awful.
How would you like the mother of all hypocrisies?
There is an United Nations campaign called “I believe in zero,” they run a video of hollywood types declaring that no child should die of preventable reasons...
and I’ll bet every dollar I have left after Obama’s stimulus; which ain’t many, that everyone of them support abortion.
She was awful and to think she is one of Hillary’s heros.
Queen hil is evil...
make no mistake about it.
All she wants is to tell you what to do...
and then you are to move along and do it.
She does not want any questions.
She is so desperate for power, it cannot be allowed.
You may not agree with Republicans...
but, they believe in freedom.
