The health care bill going before our House of Representatives includes funding for abortion. Hmm...I thought Obama promised that no such provision would be included. Indeed, he insisted that anyone who told you otherwise was a liar. Actually, Obama himself was lying when he said that. At the time of his infamous health care speech, Republicans had already tried to attach an amendment to insure that abortion would not be provided with tax payer money. Democrats voted the idea down and Obama already knew all about it.
But now we aren't talking any more about refusing an amendment. Instead, the bill actually states in so many words that abortions will be taken care of under the new "public option." Will Obama veto the bill due to this inclusion? Time will tell. Am I stepping out too much on a limb to say I'm inclined to doubt it? Meanwhile, why is Obama not speaking up in protest or at least apologizing to the many Conservatives whom he called liars?
