Health care bill may fund abortions with taxpayer money

An Obama administration official refused to rule out during an interview Sunday with Fox News’ Chris Wallace the possibility that tax money collected through the current health care proposal might be used to fund abortions.

Are you prepared to say that in a government public- funded, taxpayer-funded public health insurance plan that no taxpayer money will go to pay for abortions?” asked Wallace.

“I think that that will wind up being part of the debate. I am not prepared to say explicitly that right now. It’s obviously a controversial issue, and it’s one of the questions that is playing out in this debate,” replied Peter Orszag, the interviewed official.

Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, also interviewed by Mr. Wallace, replied to Orszag’s refusal to rule out abortion funding under the health care proposal.  “No matter what your views are on abortion, you shouldn’t ask people to use their tax dollars if they think that abortion is taking a life — to use their tax dollars for that purpose.”

  1. I don’t like abortions in general. However, there are some special situations which it is valid, rape, incense, woman’s life, proven major deformed thing. But on the other hand we should have more abortions or minorities and non-minorities who are careless or just have kids to get more welfare payments. Welfare payments should be limited to three kids.
