Why did Obama sign his executive Order banning federal funding of abortion, then BREAK his own order?
Do you think maybe that he FORGOT that he signed it???
excerpt...
President Obama pledged that under his health care plan “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.”
.............................................................................................
“Just last month at the White House, I asked President Obama to provide the American people with a progress report on the implementation of his Executive Order, which purports to ban taxpayer-funding of abortions. Unfortunately, the President provided no information, and the American people are still waiting for answers."
................................................................................
"Millions of Americans care deeply about this aspect of the new law and its implementation, and no progress report is complete without detailed information about it,” Boehner wrote to Sebelius.
The conservative Family Research Council says the $160 million in taxpayer funds for Pennsylvania is the first known instance of direct federal funding of abortions through the new high-risk insurance pools.
The abortion funding for pool participants validates the arguments pro-life groups made throughout the health care debate – that taxpayer dollars will fund abortions, said Tom McClusky, senior vice president of the Family Research Council’s political action arm.
“For our efforts to remove the bill's abortion funding, we were called 'deceivers' by President Obama and 'liars' by his allies. Now we know who the true deceivers and liars really are,’ McClusky said
"This action by the Obama Administration also exposes the worthlessness of President Obama's Executive Order that supposedly would prevent federal funding of abortion, but which both sides, including Planned Parenthood, agreed was unenforceable.
"While the American people deserve an apology from President Obama for his deception, we should only be satisfied when this Pennsylvania abortion funding is rescinded and the health care law repealed.

Dems lie and babies die. That's how they roll.

"House Democrats are working with the White House to craft an executive order that would CLARIFY President Obama's intention to maintain a long-standing ban on federal funding of abortion, congressional Democrats said." We have had a a law since 1976 against federal funding through Medicaid abortions. The problem is that in the insurance pool, there are plans with coverage for an abortion procedure and there is the dispute because some people will get government subsidies to buy private insurance plans that cover that procedure. It is legal, you know.

"the Health and Human Services Department is giving Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover any abortion that is legal in the state."
Seems like the louder he protests, the more we know he's lying.
So, are you saying we should give Obama a score of ZERO credibility?

It doesn't sound like he broke his own order. - just allowed it to be treated as the meaningless collection of words everybody knew it was to begin with. And yet, I don't especially care.

The only federal money that will be going to abortion is for abortions due to rape, incest, and danger to the mother's health/life.

Same reason he said " just vote for 0bamacare, I promise we will fix it later."
