This Is 'Health Care' in the Age of Obamacare

By: Kathryn Jean Lopez
The Corner

I've listened to folks outright lie over the last 24 hours or so about abortion and the health-care bill the president will be lecturing about tomorrow. The National Right to Life Committee helps point to a key issue most of the media would be happy to help you think doesn't exist:

<<< Today, NRLC released an updated memorandum on one of these issues -- a provision that would provide a new pool of billions of dollars in federal funds that could be used directly to pay for abortion, without restriction, in Community Health Centers (CHCs). The new memo can be viewed in a web browser here, and viewed or downloaded in PDF format here.

This particular problem was created by language that was added to the Senate bill by the last-minute Reid Manager's Amendment, to provide CHCs with $7 billion in federal funds, with nothing to prevent CHCs from using these funds to perform abortions. As the NRLC memo documents, two pro-abortion groups already have projects underway to encourage CHCs to provide abortions. (The CHC problem is entirely unrelated to other objectionable language in the bill associated with Sen. Ben Nelson.)

In his February 22 list of proposed changes to the Senate-passed bill, President Obama included a proposed increase in the CHC funding from the Senate-approved $7 billion to $11 billion -- still without any restriction on the use of the funds for abortion. >>>
