Obama "Reality Check" Web Site Doesn't Dispute Abortion in Health Care Plan

This is curious...IF the bill didn't provide for abortion funding, don't you think they'd be quick to shoot that one down? They can't... because abortion IS covered.

President Barack Obama's administration has released a new web site to supposedly debunk the myths opponents are using to criticize the Congressional health care proposals he supports. Notably absent, however, is any mention of the biggest criticism -- that the plans will lead to abortion funding.

The web site, a page on the White House web site dubbed "Reality Check," features Obama staffers and administration officials rebutting some of the criticism of the government-run health care plan.

The White House web site, released today, follows Obama's weekend radio address in which he sought to dispel "the outlandish rumors that reform will promote euthanasia or cut Medicaid or bring about a government takeover of health care."

"That's simply not true," Obama said. "This isn't about putting government in charge of your health insurance; it's about putting you in charge of your health insurance."

The new web site, as it says, takes on "wild rumors and scare tactics" -- but the notion that the bills will result in taxpayer funded abortions and insurance mandates requiring abortion coverage don't appear to be among them.
