Axelrod Signals Obama Will Try to Strip Abortion Language From Health Care Bill
by

The amendment, authored by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., went beyond preventing the proposed government-run plan from covering abortion to restrict federal subsidies from going toward private plans that offer abortion coverage. David Axelrod says the amendment changes the "status quo," something the president cannot abide.
White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod suggested Sunday that President Obama will intervene to make sure a controversial amendment restricting federal funding for abortion coverage is stripped from final health care reform legislation.
In doing so, the president would be heeding the call of abortion rights supporters like Planned Parenthood that have called the White House their "strongest weapon" in keeping such restrictions out of the bill.

Didn’t he say on National TV that no funding in the Health Care bill would go for Abortions. Did I hear that wrong, if not, Mr. President, YOU LIE!
No need to fear blue doggies. Many of you balked with the original bill while many others were dumb enough to vote for this porky because of the abortion language. Once Pelosi cracks the whip, you’ll forget about the abortion clause.
Nice blue doggies...here’s a biscut for you.
What? You gonna get whacked in 2010...so what? We didn’t want you in our house anyway. Maybe Obama will have a civil service job lined up for you.
I’m thinking this was the plan all along. Pelosi agreed to the abortion wording to get health care bill passed, after working it out with Obama to take it out after it passed.
Pelosi leads Obama around by the nose......impeach them both!
“The Blue Dogs voted for Obamacare only because the Stupak Amendment passed.”
The Blue Dogs have proven to be nothing if not flexible. I’m sure he can bend them to his will.

How much ya wanna bet that these dems went to their supporters in NOW and other radical hate-groups and begged their forgiveness for taking abortion coverage out of the bill, and promised to put it back in as soon as they could do it without anyone knowing?

Uhh, David, you little weasle, the Stupak Amendment just codifies in the Healthcare bill what was already the law - the Hyde legislation banning federal dollars for abortions. That IS the status quo.
Obama has surrounded himself with some of the dumbest zealots ever to show up at the White House. Not that Zero himself is any brighter. Fortunately, that have a sycophantic press that is even dumber than they are, so it goes unreported.
trial balloon.
Obama is absolutely the worst President and CIC America has ever had.
.........and, we'll strip 0b0z0 and his cronies from the WH and Congress in 2012, as we should............
The way Axelrod talks you would think ObOzO was president instead of TOTUS. ZerO is just Pres__ent.
I have a question. If the plan includes abortion, my religious beliefs would not allow me to contribute to it. I cannot morally or ethically pay to have a baby murdered. Do I just stop paying taxes and go yo jail?
I’m willing to bet that NOW was a willing accompish in the deception. There was a “wink wink nudge nudge” to get a bill passed with each side knowing full well that they were going to get it taken out. NOW, MoveOn.org, and other such organizations are going to be doing their part by raising hell and making it look like “the people” want abortion in the final bill.
