Obama quietly signs abortion order
MSNBC ^ | 3/24/2010 | AP staff

20 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Anything but jubilant, President Barack Obama awkwardly kept a promise Wednesday he made to ensure passage of historic health care legislation, pledging the administration would not allow federal funds to pay for elective abortions covered by private insurance.

Unlike Tuesday, when a beaming Obama signed the health care law in a nationally televised ceremony interrupted repeatedly by applause, the White House refused to permit coverage of the event. It occurred in the Oval Office in the presence of a small group of anti-abortion Democratic lawmakers who had extracted the commitment over the weekend. The president supports abortion rights.

The political maneuvering occurred as the FBI announced it was investigating threats received by about 10 Democratic lawmakers in recent days in apparent connection with the intensely controversial health care law.

Wow, sorry this is somewhat off-topic, but that reminds me of the 1st “Ghost Hunters” episode, in which they claim a recording of alleged children in the house where 1 says “I don’t think they want us here...”

Angel babies, indeed.

Not stating fact. Merely opinion.

That being said, please realize and always remember, Barry = Deceit.

Couldn't help but wonder why the term "elective abortion" is necessary. Why qualify it?

The quote was from the first sentence of the article. It’s also shown in post # one.

I admit that my reaction was to the wording of the AP reporter’s copy rather than the exact wording of the EO.

I’m sure Obama is a closet pro-lifer and has been stringing the hard left along but really going for a stealth conservative agenda.

Is this just like the *promise* to not cover illegal aliens?

At least not until we have single payer (and not until the illegals are legal)

Yea! He’s a Christian just like SATAN claims to be! Ask OBOZO to recite the LORD’S PRAYER! He’ll stutter and babble Nonsense like his teleprompter went into meltdown. But he sure can recite “The Call to Evening Prayer” of ISLAM beautifully as documented by TIME MAGAZINE!

"I am pretty sure they will find a loophole to wiggle around this"

Certainly. They'll take a pause from using the Constitution like Charmin and take advantage of the fact that executive orders cannot change legislation. The Senate bill is the law of the land. Obama rules the Executive Branch only.
