Pledge to America a Welcome Document

President Obama awakened a sleeping giant with his taxpayer funding of abortion and Obamacare agendas. Both are deeply unpopular with the American public. Taxpayer funding of abortion has been a relatively dormant issues for decades, since Congress decided over 30 years ago that taxpayers should not have to underwrite abortions. Obamacare not only contains taxpayer funding of abortion, but has a rationing element as well. And, issues such as taxpayer funding of abortions at military base hospitals (which fortunately failed in the U.S. Senate last week) essentially turn back the clock.
Unwittingly, Obama has handed his opponents two very potent issues, intertwined as they are. The House Republican leadership has seized the moment with the Pledge to America. WRTL commends them for the document which calls for repeal and replacement of Obamacare and a permanent ban on federal taxpayer dollars for abortion throughout government programs. We are grateful to the commitment to life found in this document.
