Obamacare Abortion Funding Sham Revealed

  • Blog

It was an unforgettable day. I was across the world in Asia, watching the final days of the passage of Obamacare unfold in March of 2010. I hate to admit that I yelled at the television set in deep anguish as I watched Rep. Bart Stupak, up until then one of my treasured heroes, cave in to pressure from the administration to give up his quest to ensure that the nation’s gigantic health care measure would not cover or pay for abortions. Stupak folded under the ridiculous “promise” by the President that he would, by Executive Order, accomplish the purpose of the Stupak amendment. We all knew it was a phony, empty promise as it is elementary that an Executive Order does not have the force of law and cannot override the law itself.

Now, the Administration’s stunt is exposed. The US Supreme Court will take up the constitutionality of Obamacare and groups have asked Justice Elena Kagan to recuse herself since she was the Solicitor General at the time Obamacare was enacted. Emails between Kagan and notoriously pro-abortion attorney Larry Tribe have been made public which read as follows:

Kagan on the day Obamacare passed: “I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing.”

Tribe: The bill’s passage is “remarkable.” “And with the Stupak group accepting the magic of what amounts to a signing statement on steroids!”

Stupak and friends were chumps. Just ask Kagan and Tribe. And we as a nation suffer the abortion and rationing damages of a sweeping expansion of government-run health care. It makes you want to cry.
