Claims are still being made by supporters of the President's health care reform plan that no changes will be made to the current policy of no federal funding of abortion. The following quotes about the health care bill appear on abcnews.go.com (the website for "Good Morning America"):
"There is no change in the access to abortion, no more no less. It is abortion neutral," Pelosi (Speaker of the House) told reporters. "If you believe that there should be no federal funding for abortion, and if you believe that there should be no change in policy... we will pass the bill."
"I think the president has made it clear from the outset that the health reform bill should not change the status quo on abortion policy in America. That's not what this is about," Sebelius (Secretary of Health and Human Services) said. "There will be no federal funding for abortions."
It appears that Representative Bart Stupak and 11 other Democrat colleagues will not vote for the health care bill because it does not contain explicit language prohibiting public funding of abortion. Some supporters of the health care bill fear this issue may lead to its defeat. If Speaker Pelosi and Secretary Sebelius are being honest when they say that the President's health care bill does not allow for federal funding of abortion, then they should have no problem including language to that effect. They could end this argument. So why don't they? The answer is simple: the health care bill the President wants to pass does allow public funding of abortion. Please pray that Representative Stupak, who would like to see the passage of a health care bill, will continue to stand true to his belief that taxpayers should not be forced to fund the killing of babies in our country.
May God have mercy on our nation.
