Fact Check Says Obama is Fabricating on Abortion

Poor President Obama — he can’t catch a break. He’s trying so very hard to convince the public that Obamacare will not “mean government funding of abortion.” That’s what Obama said on August 19 to thousands present on his highly-publicized conference call to faith-based people.

“Not true,” he said about government funding of abortion in Obamacare. “…these are fabrications that have been put out there…”

As reported in last week’s blog, the National Right to Life Committee immediately pounced on Obama’s remarks, stating that “President Obama today brazenly misrepresented the abortion-related component” of health care legislation.

Fact Check.org to the rescue. Their August 21 article Abortion: Which Side is Fabricating? concludes that “Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans.”
