Sebelius Says Obama Will Change Bill to Ban Abortion Funding, Pro-Lifers Doubtful

Do NOT fall for this. They are saying whatever they can to sell government-run healthcare. Of course, abortion WILL be covered in ObamaCare.

In a weekend interview, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said President Barack Obama wants a change in the language of the main House health care "reform" bill to ensure it doesn't allow taxpayer-funded abortions. However, a pro-life group that has exposed the abortion funding is doubtful that will happen.

At issue is HR 3200, the government-run health care plan that includes the Capps Amendment that would open the door for massive abortion funding in both the public option and the tax subsidies for people to purchase health insurance.

Sebelius told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" program that Obama will go beyond the very weak limits Capps Amendment to make sure there is no abortion funding.

“So you are saying that he will go beyond what we have seen in the House and explicitly rule out any public funding for abortion?” the host asked Sebelius.

“Well that’s exactly what the President said and that’s what he intends that the bill he signs will do," she responded. "I think the legislative language will reflect what the President has just said."
