President Obama has continually told us that the health care legislation will not federally fund/subsidize abortion. Not only that, but he has repeatedly criticized others as “bearing false witness” and spreading misinformation when they insisted he wasn’t telling the truth.

It has been quite clear that any of the serious legislation in congress up to this point has in fact covered federally funded abortions. And not just the status quo provided for in the Hyde Amendment – but it has pushed the abortion agenda aggressively further.

This story on ABC’s 20/20 (video below) does a good job of summing up a lot of the problems that come when the government gets involved with providing health care – instead of just regulating parts of it.  Everyone wants people to be taken care of and to have the health care they need. But [...]
