Does anyone doubt that Obamacare will cover abortions?

Supposedly, Obama won over Blue Dog Democrats to vote for Obamacare on Sunday with an oral agreement to sign a Presidential order forbidding coverage of abortions aka "D & C".

This is the same Obama who signed a similar Presidential directive to close Gitmo by 3 months ago, and we all know where that one is.

Was this just a ruse to give spineless Blue Dogs a cover story to vote the Party line now, and claim during their re-election campaigns with a smirk "but, the president promised!!!!" ?

    Yes, 0bama was just giving those Demo-dweebs a CYA tool to use on the campaign trail this fall. It reminds me of that scene from The Ten Commandments when the Jews painted blood over their doorways to wave off the death angel. In this case the blue dogs are using water colors that will wash off between now and Election Day when the Death Voter comes by.

    No, no federal funds might properly be used for abortions of any type, it replaced into the rider that have been given the bill handed because of the fact prolife democrats does not sign it till that replaced into extra. it won't pay for partial delivery abortions or non-obligatory abortions of anykind.

    So what if it does? It's a legally protected medical procedure and it should be covered. I found it outrageous that he would cave to pro life nuts who aren't intelligent enough to know the difference between their beliefs and the law.

    It's going to. The subsidies going to groups like Planned Parenthood and hospitals can just be shuffled around to pay for abortions.

    It won't cover abortions. And second an abortion is a moral issue and morality should not be legislated. By the way your yahoo name is offensive, do you stand for mass murder?
