House Panel OKs FAKE Pro-Life Amendment That Funds Abortion in Health Care

I earlier posted that we need to be wary of the words "common ground" , and here's why: The pro-aborts are so desperate to keep abortion in nationalized healthcare that they will lie and deceive people.

A House of Representatives committee, late Thursday, approved a phony “compromise” amendment to the health care legislation it is considering. The amendment, sponsored by an abortion advocate, gave the impression that it would stop tax-funded abortions in the health care bill but, in reality, would allow it.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee has been considering its version of the House government-run health care plan, H.R. 3200.

Rep. Lois Capps, a California Democrat, proposed an amendment that she claimed was a "compromise" between pro-life advocates and abortion proponents.

The amendment explicitly permits the Secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, pro-abortion advocate Kathleen Sebelius, to include abortion in the services offered by public option and requires abortion coverage in the government health plan if the Hyde amendment is ever reversed.
