Right after Barry told us that illegal imigrants wouldn't be covered, and before he told us that abortion wouldn't be covered, Joe Wilson yelled "You Lie!" Was Joe right? If Barry was telling the truth, this shouldn't be an issue.Despite the Obama administration's repeated dismissal of the controversy over abortion funding in the health care reform bill, a confrontation between White House officials and Americans United for Life (AUL) Thursday revealed what pro-life leaders have been warning all along: that the White House is unlikely to put its money where its mouth is and support language in the bill that would explicitly prevent taxpayer funds from going to abortion and abortion providers.
Consonant with the warnings of pro-life forces, the outcome of the meeting helped clarify the extent of President Obama's commitment to supporting the stated health care interests of the abortion lobby. Organizations such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL have called repeatedly for the "right" of abortion to be broadly expanded through the bill.
