Of Course. Obama White House Now Say They Prefer the Health Care Bill That Funds Abortion
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, December 27, 2009, 8:56 PM
On September 9, 2009, Barack Obama stood in front of the American public and promised them that abortion funding would not be included in the democrat’s health care bill.
It was a lie.
But, we all know now that Barack Obama cannot be trusted and that absolutely everything he says comes with an expiration date.
Today, the spokesman for the most radical pro-abortion president in history said Obama prefers the Senate bill that funds abortion.
Life News reported:
President Barack Obama promised Americans in a speech to Congress that his version of a government-run health care bill would not contain abortion funding. Now his top spokesman confirms that Obama favors the Senate bill that funds abortions over the House bill that bans abortion funding.
In a September nationally-televised speech to Congress, Obama sought to clear up projections from pro-life advocates that his health care plan would fund abortions.
“One more misunderstanding I want to clear up — under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions,” Obama claimed.
Since his speech, the House has approved a health care bill that contains the Stupak amendment making it so taxpayer funding of abortions is prohibited in virtually all cases. On the other hand, the Senate bill contains the Reid-Nelson language that opens the door to forcing taxpayers to fund abortions and allowing the Obama administration to force insurance companies to cover them with taxpayers’ premiums.

The Facts About Obama on Abortion
* Obama supports the repeal of the Hyde Amendment, a law which guards pro-life citizens against being forced to pay for any abortion that is not being carried out because of incest, rape, or unusually great threat to the life of the mother. The pro-abortion (as “pro-choice” should be called) group NARAL hates the Hyde Amendment because they say it “forces about half the women who would otherwise have abortions to carry unintended pregnancies to term and bear children against their wishes instead.”
* On January 23rd, 2009, the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, Obama signed legislation reversing the “Mexico City Policy”, which had stated that the U.S. will never use taxpayer money to fund international planned parenthood groups that support or perform abortions.
* Obama still has not made good, but we are sure he eventually will, on what he promised would be the “very first thing” he would do once in office– “sign the Freedom of Choice Act” (FOCA), which Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia has summed up as the “right to abort a fully developed child in the final weeks for undefined ‘health’ reasons”. FOCA says that any woman is allowed to abort her child for virtually any conceivable reasons at any time throughout the entire nine months of her pregnancy. Had a bad day? Had a fight with your boyfriend? Just abort that fetus—or that fully formed baby. You’ll feel so much better.
* Obama is well known for having called an unwanted baby a female’s “punishment”, and for this reason he supports something that even many pro-abortion people find disgusting and immoral—partial-birth abortion. If a doctor attempts to abort a baby when it is close to being born, and the abortion doesn’t work and the child is emerging alive from the womb, Obama says that the doctor is within legal rights to kill it—on the spot.
* Obama supports all legislation that would legalize the killing of a new baby that is born alive and separated from the mother—all she has to do is decide in those moments that she doesn’t want it or never did, and according our illustrious mad Lib President the doctors should have the legal right to commit infanticide. Fittingly, the Obama Administration lied about this blatantly until documented evidence was brought to light proving that Obama does indeed support infanticide and the removal of federal laws protecting fully birthed children from post-partum “abortion”.
* Obama, as a Senator, co-sponsored a bill that would permit and condone the mass production cloning of human embryos which would then be killed by biomedical research. And, get this—it would be mandatory that they be killed; it would be a severely punished federal crime for any woman to have one of the embryos implanted in her womb and made into a full-fledged human baby.
* Obama has turned against his own party by staunchly refusing to support the Pregnant Women Support Act, the Democrats for Life group’s signature bill which intends to reduce abortions via the provision of assistance to women who are facing crisis pregnancies.

You don’t honestly expect any of us that visit this site on a regular basis to actually be surprised by this development, do you?

Let me be clear. I want the tax payers to fund abortions… and the Catholics should pay their fair share.
Let me remind you tax payers of Luther Martin’s famous speech. It’s not the content of a man character but the size of his limousine that counts. I have one of the largest limousines in this county. That should give me credibility.
My Jumbo Jet is running and the rental on my expensive Hawaii estate is running out… and so is my stash of Maui weed. And, yes I may lie to you at every opportunity. Good day.
Freddy commented:
At some point it will become impossible for Obama to speak to any live audience without being ridiculed as the liar he is.
This will be the point when the White House only allows Obama to speak directly to a camera without any audience. Look for the canned crowd noises to become a regular part of Obama’s speaches by 2011!

Secondhand Hate
Another step downhill for modern liberalism.
Noemie Emery explains: “The Left, which invented first ‘hate speech’ (opinions they didn’t like) and then ‘hate crimes’ (crimes judged less on the criminal’s actions than on what he was presumed to be thinking), has now gone on to its epiphany, which is “hate” defined not by your words or deeds but by what other people have decided you really think. ‘Hate’ is no longer what you do or say, but what a liberal says that you think and projects on to you. You are punished for what someone else claims you were thinking. It hardly makes sense, but it does serve a political purpose. You could call it Secondhand Hate.” And it’s all the rage, so to speak, in the Obama era.

ACVJ, I believe that Obama probably does support the right to kill a newborn — at least as to infants who survive failed abortions — but this is the first I’ve ever heard about there being “documented evidence” to this effect. Can you please explain further and/or provide a link?

What else do we expect from a guy who said he didn’t want his daughters burdened by a “mistake.” Obama is the typical politician. He says one thing and then does the exact opposite. Joe Wilson deserves a Medal for calling Obama what we all know him to be…A bold-faced LIAR.

Freddy,
I was thinking that Obama should have a “laugh track” to accompany his speaches.
