WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic lawmakers say party leaders are considering winning crucial support from abortion foes for health care overhaul legislation with an executive order by President Barack Obama.
The order - which does not require congressional approval - would be aimed at reflecting long-standing law barring federal aid for abortions except for cases of rape or incest or when the mother's life is threatened.
Democratic Reps. Henry Waxman of California and James Oberstar of Minnesota both said an executive order was under discussion by party leaders.

No, they are enforceable until the Supreme Court says they aren't enforceable, or until Congress passes legislation reversing it, or until a subsequent President writes a countervailing or amending order.
Go for Obama and Pelosi. These people are SO evil.
A lot like McCain and Graham-nesty.
Yup...I wonder what conservatives in IL who worked so hard to expose this Sicko on the abortion issue are gonna think when this guy signs an executive order finally supporting the pro-life cause!
Which means, anyone who wants an abortion. All you have to do to meet this one is a little creativity, ie. "My boyfriend threatened to kill me if I have this baby." This "executive order" is BS and means absolutely nothing when you consider the "executive" who is ordering it.
EOs can’t undo or change existing legislation.
Surely God,(If there is one) has a special place in Hell for those who would murder little children.
I hate to be the one to step on the birthday cake, but GET OVER it folks. Its GONNA pass the House. What happens when it goes back to the Senate we dont know yet. Its that simple.
Why is incest listed? If incest isn’t rape, but rather between consenting adults, should it be included as one of those ‘hardship’ cases?
Well, zero said he rather be an "effective one utureterm president than a mediocre two term potus" (pp)
1.HCR
2.Crap and Tax
3.Shamnesty
He gets this trifecta and there will never be a conservative elected to any branch of the federal government for the foreseeable future
A typical leftist fraud. The left of millions of mothers will naturally be DEEMED threatened!!!!! Will democrats in the house fall for this tripe??? Or will it represent yet another excuse for recalcitrant dems to vote for Hussein care.
Anyone over 60 better be concerned about the genocide of the elderly in this bill.
Wait a minute. If San Fran Nan has the votes, why would the left consider crap like this?
Do you remember the movie "Salient Green"?
Until a new president.
.....Do you remember the movie “Salient Green”?.....
Is that what they call the Zapruder Film ?
I don't know very much about Harry Truman. Did he have a problem with an executive order?
It's people.
Yes, Truman tried to nationalize all steel mills in the country with an Executive Order. For the first time in history - although, up until that point, EO's hadn't really been used in quite that way - the Supreme Court granted cert on such a challenge to Executive authority on EOs The case was Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer. The Supremes held for the plaintiff, ruling Truman's EO unconstitutional.
That set the guidelines that are in place today - Executive Orders can't undo enacted legislation, or violate the Constitution.
There was something creepy about the movie. Maybe it was prophetic.
