Surprise! After more than a year of accusing pro-lifers of peddling lies, distortions, and “bearing false witness” — and despite that much-balleyhooed, executive order brokered by Bart Stupak & Co. — it now appears that Obamacare will finance abortions in Pennsylvania.
Public funding of abortion is deeply unpopular nationwide, and even more so in swing districts.
The rate at which the president’s O-Care assurances and promises are being abandoned is head-spinning. Altogether now: “Repeal and replace.”
UPDATE: K-Lo reports that it’s not just Pennsylvania; abortions are already being subsidized by federal dollars in New Mexico. HHS has been very hush-hush about this particular available “benefit.”
We already have an apologia pro vita suo from Bart:

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseFirst, we were assured the healthcare reform bill didn't provide funding for abortions. And then, even though the healthcare reform bill didn't provide funding for abortion, President Obama issued an Executive Order (like the one requiring Gitmo be be closed by January 2010) prohibiting federal funding for abortions. When Rep. Boehner requested that President Obama and HHS Secretary Sebelius explain how they planned to implement the Executive Order to ensure no federal funding would be provided for abortions, he received no response. Until now. Gotcha!
