Video: ObamaCare may fund abortions
posted at 12:45 pm on July 19, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Will ObamaCare use taxpayer money to fund abortions? Chris Wallace asks budget director Peter Orszag the explosive question on Fox News Sunday today, and Orszag attempts to dodge it. Wallace presses him for an answer on whether the White House will rule that out, and Orszag declines to do so. However, the answer is rather obvious:
Barack Obama and the Democrats, especially those on the hard Left, want two things. They want unfettered access to abortion on demand, which they will pursue through the Freedom of Choice Act … eventually, if Obama’s polling numbers stop sliding. That effort can also be accomplished through a health-care reform bill that provides a “public plan” as a Trojan horse for taxpayer-funded abortions. After all, universal care means universal coverage, and pro-abortion Democrats believe that abortions are an integral part of gynecology.
That isn’t limited to just the pro-abortion Democrats, either. Harry Reid, who advertises himself as “pro-life” said in March that he would vote for a health-care bill that provided taxpayer-funded abortions. There will be few if any Democrats in Congress that will stop health-care reform on the basis of taxpayer funding for abortions.

I imagine that the Hyde Amendment will have to be rescinded although the Democrats could probably allow states to continue funding abortions and then have Washington compensate them for the funding.
Lots of tricks to use, as we know…..
SteveMG on July 19, 2009 at 12:50 PM
The party of death going along with a culture of death providing funding for proactive and retroactive abortions should come as no surprise.
chemman on July 19, 2009 at 12:50 PM
It also funds illegals.

Will it?
Flat out yes. The version that sailed though Ways and Means included it. It didn’t include CATscans. Go figure.

The government contols all things medical, abortion is a medical procedure. You don’t have to be Hawkings….

Waiting for AnninCa to tell us the wonderfullness of tax funded abortions, how cool this will be and how it will help small business in 5….4…..3….
Knucklehead on July 19, 2009 at 12:52 PM
I switched from this nerd because he wouldn’t answer a question directly to Kathleen Sebelius on NBC who made him seem like a blabbermouth. They literally want their plan rammed through with absolutely no questions. I doubt on Wednesday night that Obama will answer ONE.

Andrew Sullivan’s guest poster at the Daily Dish today gave this very revealing quote: Claymation and violence go together like Palin and the Dish (and don’t miss the man-eating piano at the end):
And this was at the Belmont Club. http://tiny.cc/Kbew0
Okay. Let’s get it on.
Mr. Joe on July 19, 2009 at 12:52 PM
It will fund euthanasia, too.
Right_of_Attila on July 19, 2009 at 12:53 PM
Harry Reid, just like all DemonRats, will vote in favor of any Pro abortion legislation. We know one truth which is that they all advertise themselves as Pro Life but we all know it’s for campaign purposes only. After all they can’t have candidates running around with white hoods or swastikas tattooed to their foreheads
larvcom on July 19, 2009 at 12:53 PM
It’s all in the fine print folks. If they can lower the population by increasing the death rate for older, less productive people, and reduce the birth rate of new non-productive babies, they can make the math work.
MikeA on July 19, 2009 at 12:54 PM
It seems like about half the Senate Democrats run as moderates or conservative Democrats every time they’re up for reelection.
BadgerHawk on July 19, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Peter Orszag is the moral equivalent of William Christopher. I watched the exchange this morning and laughed out loud. If this hack is the best the Obama administration has, we should be safe. I hope the White House continues to press and run ads against the Blue Dogs. Remember, Blue Dogs bite!
Khun Joe on July 19, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Orzag: Chris the administration can’t be pinned down. This is still being negotiated in committee. Some in the Congressional leadership wants to expressly include terminating fetuses. We prefer the term “undesirables.” It’s more in keeping with our goal of universal coverage.
Ted Torgerson on July 19, 2009 at 12:56 PM
I’m sure it will. And I’m also sure it will fund sex changes and other similarly deviant behaviors. A liberal’s wet dream.
KSgop on July 19, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Wow. I’ve never seen a talking weiner before.
Key West Reader on July 19, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Hmmm. Good job Chris.
America: is this the hopenchange you voted for.
The devaluation of human life and individuality with these fools is breathtaking. First, end of life care–seniors will be seen as a cost and a burden. Second, infants will be seen as a cost and a burden. No further justification necessary–simply cut costs.
Folks–we have become simply a line item. You are no more valuable than a stinking park bench or utility pole. You are now something that must be controlled. So much for your freedom, so much for your liberty, so much for your choice. The chains of slavery are being forged at the hands of the statist liberals in Washington. Step on up–get your number, shave your head and grab your hammer. Big rocks into small rocks–go.
ted c on July 19, 2009 at 12:58 PM
After Obama told the Pope that he would reduce the number of abortions in America.
Apparently the Pope does not read Geraghty at NRO Corner.
Wethal on July 19, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Cradle to grave health “management”. If you are lucky to survive as a managed fetus, you still have to dodge being managed for euthanasia as an elder. In between, every aspect of your life get managed 24/7 by Big Bro’. Welcome to the brave new world of Obama. Yes, we can.
Fletch54 on July 19, 2009 at 12:59 PM
You bet it will along with sex change,tattoo removal,breast enhancement and ever other thing these Godless Libs can think of.Friends we are on the verge of the total destruction of our country.
thmcbb on July 19, 2009 at 12:59 PM
once cap and tax passes–then there is further justification on the invalid, elderly and infants to label them as CO2 emitters. All the more justification to eradicate them.
what’s next–birth limits a la China…

Somebody had better stop these damn fools before they completely and irrevocably destroy the entire country.

At this point, I don’t even worry about terror threats outside our country. We are being destroyed from within which is much harder to fight and protect against.
I pray we make it through the next several years.

Can we discuss the return of Forced Lobotomies?
What are the rules of 3rd party-initiated confinement for mental issues? There was a day when anyone could have anyone else confined for psychiatric examination. Any “looneyness” resulted in a lobotomy.
I nominate Congress as being mentally infirm, and in need of examination.

Daggett on July 19, 2009 at 1:07 PM
When thinking blue dogs are conservative, check their votes on the cap & trade bill passed through the house. We have to FLUSH the 219 in 2010.
volsense on July 19, 2009 at 1:07 PM
We have to resist the passage of this bill. We have to get these people out of power in 2012. These people will take this country as far left as they are allowed. At some point people are going to have to stand up and say we will not budge.
TXMomof3 on July 19, 2009 at 1:08 PM
I am sure they will try to cover abortion.
I am also sure TOTUS will never ever sign the Freedom of Choice Act, once he does it would ‘free’ dem women to leave the party.
I cannot tell you how many NeoProg Obots came to blogs with pics of hangars screaming in caps that we would lose our freedom to our bodies and be forced to have babies, etc, if we voted MAC/Palin. INSANE totally insane
They use abortion to keep the DEM women in line. I say that as a Dem woman (although I’m Catholic)
ginaswo on July 19, 2009 at 1:08 PM
If the next 3.5 years are anything like the first 6 months of the Obama administration, I’m not optimistic.
Daggett on July 19, 2009 at 1:08 PM
113 here in Phoenix today. Once cap n trade is rammed thru elderly and the very young will drop like flies here as our A/C is turned off by the Dear Leader…
ginaswo on July 19, 2009 at 1:09 PM
This is only a big deal to a person who can’t tell the difference between a fetus and a child. To the rest of the world, it’s a medical procedure just like any other.
hicsuget on July 19, 2009 at 1:09 PM
No, it’s a big deal to people who understand that something is alive if you have to kill it.

“Seeing his popularity draining away rapidly, President Obama has cynically decided to ram through the complex health care legislation in two weeks, without debate or amendment. He is going to give up the attempt to win sixty votes in the Senate and will use the budget reconciliation procedure – which is only used for budget bills – to push it through with fifty votes.” http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/

MikeA on July 19, 2009 at 1:18 PM
Rest of the world?
So, every other country other than the US allows abortion on demand in their nation? No limits?
You’re obviously not familiar with world wide abortion regulations, are you? Even most countries in Europe limit third trimester/post viability abortions.
SteveMG on July 19, 2009 at 1:21 PM
I agree. My only addition would be that I’m guessing that if he can’t precipitate a government-changing crisis quickly enough, he’ll fix the next election and then stop elections after that.
Daggett on July 19, 2009 at 1:22 PM
Most medical procedures do not remove or kill something with a completely different genetic code now to they??

We are allraedy weighing human activity to measure what worth or benefit society can derive from that activity. Cap and Trade will tilt those measurements for the benefit of raising more taxes. Weighing life from the cradle to the grave is the very next component of total control of a Godless society. It is no longer rightous to be a God fearing nation, we have to become a god ourselves and control our creation.
fourdeucer on July 19, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Yeah, I still waiting the the hicsuget’s to show me the pebbles, snowcones, FatBob Harlies, and telephone books that would be produced if women didn’t terminate their ‘cells’.

Killing tykes in the womb is not modern nor progressive.
It is a Dark Ages, barbaric practice, peddled off as some neo-liberty salvation – the most ironic thing is that the opposite is true.

Seven Percent Solution on July 19, 2009 at 1:32 PM
When the cost of public funded abortions gets too much, the government bureaucrats will recommned sterilization.
Of course you won’t have a say in it. The decision will be final … just like the decision not to treat seniors because some bureaucrat deemed them as “unproductive” and too “costly” to save.
darwin on July 19, 2009 at 1:32 PM
This makes me ill.
BuckeyeSam on July 19, 2009 at 1:35 PM
There is no doubt that the state no longer belongs to or serves we, the citizens. The opposite is now true and it will take monumental effort to retrieve the rights we are giving up under this administration. Look how long we have struggled to regain each individual’s right to life, 36 years and counting.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg must be so proud to finally see the true purpose of the Roe decision come to fruition.
Jvette on July 19, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Promising to reduce the number of abortions. Wow, that must be wonderful for the reduced number.
Limerick on July 19, 2009 at 1:35 PM
As you know they have no interest in reducting the number as it is just another “medical procedure”.
CWforFreedom on July 19, 2009 at 1:39 PM
If it takes 6 months to get an x-ray with our new health plan, perhaps it will take 8 months to get an abortion??

Seven Percent Solution on July 19, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Instead of abortions why don’t we just get doctors to make random hits. That way everyone has a chance of helping reduce the number of abortions. Those ‘Please Take A Number’ machines could be put to good use.
Limerick on July 19, 2009 at 1:45 PM
And pay we will.
“If a Sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?”
Ben Franklin said this when he called for a daily prayer at the Constitutional Convention.
God, the Creator and Lover of life has numbered each and every life sacrificed on the altar of abortion. This country has much to answer for.
Jvette on July 19, 2009 at 1:45 PM
I agree. It’s right there with genital mutilation, stoning, beheading, etc…
Gee, whats up with those conservanuts anyway….it’s not like the rest of the world doesn’t value life.
BobMbx on July 19, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Yeah, stopping the birth of another “undesirable”, as Ginsberg would call it would be paramount. According to progressives … undesirables are a burden on the system and frighten them. They worry constantly about the “wrong” types of people over breeding, hence their penchant for using taxpayer money to pay not only for abortions here, but worldwide.
darwin on July 19, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Abortion is a metaphor for what these people want for the country–the hollowing out of a productive womb and the hollowing out of the economic institutions which made this a productive nation.
baldilocks on July 19, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Why not just declare that every unborn baby has the chance to be a homosexual…………

baldilocks on July 19, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Following Orszag anemic performance, I thought Gregg did a pretty good job of carving up the Democratic proposals. I think it was helpful that he identified two GOP proposals and one bipartisan proposal, but they can’t get out of committee. So all we’re seeing and hearing about are Dem proposals, so all the GOP can do is pick those apart.
At any rate, I liked how Gregg explained the 45 million unisured because no one is talking about the composition of this group. He emphasized that it’s not a monolithic group. Instead, it probably consists of about four general groups: illegal aliens, those who can afford coverage but don’t buy it, those eligible under existing programs (medicaid, S-Chip), and uninsurable. Why aren’t we specifically debating coverage for these groups?
Why cover illegal aliens? Why isn’t the GOP highlighting this?
Why should taxpayers pay to cover those who can afford coverage? Frankly, just to eliminate bellyaching stories about morons who run into health problems when they could have insured themselves, why not require a mandate of some kind of catastrophic coverage? If the argument against it is that it’s an encroachment on liberty, fine. Require a waiver a coverage, and tell them no one will shed tears for them.
Why no effort from Obama’s army of volunteers to enroll themselves in the existing public programs? This seems like overlap to me.
Finally, the group to which they should address true public debate are the uninsurable. I don’t have the answer, but this is where many interests intersect. Either taxpayers cover these people or, perhaps, the unsurance companies should be required to contribute to a pool to cover these people. Hell, I don’t know.
In the end, where the hell is the debate on all this? And where the hell is the debate on tort reform?
I don’t give a rat’s ass that Obama is controlling the discussion. Why can’t the GOP get a few knowledgeable members of the two houses in front of cameras and lay out some understandable points for people to understand.
Obama has a few sob stories and a general sense that healthcare needs to be reformed. The GOP needs to identify five to 10 of the biggest problems, offer solutions, and explain how their solutions solve the problems. And in doing so, the need to show how Obamacare doesn’t solve problems, only rewards his constituencies, and creates many more problems.
This should not be that hard. I’m surprised that the GOP has not rendered Obamacare DOA already.
BuckeyeSam on July 19, 2009 at 1:55 PM
When will taxpayers start paying for Abortions 4 teh Por commercials?
Upstater85 on July 19, 2009 at 1:55 PM

Shock the monkey to life
Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now Im on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know when youre going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I cant take any more
Darling, dont you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey
Wheels keep turning
Somethings burning
Dont like it but I guess Im learning
Shock! – watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey
Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
Shock! – watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
ted c on July 19, 2009 at 2:03 PM
That ultimately is what this health care thing is about. Its aimed mainly at minorities to get them in line.
No one can every accuse of the Democrats of ignoring the minority angle in every debate. They divide the pie trying to make sure that someone gets the big slices while minorities get to lick the crust.
William Amos on July 19, 2009 at 2:05 PM
the “monkey” represents a Christian and “shocking” them means shocking them with some evil so you can watch them squirm (or “hurt” as the song says) and to identify them. “Cover me” is about God covering the Christian. “when I sleep” is because they are not in on the secret, asleep. “when I run” is when they party with those from the dark side. “shock the monkey to life” means to shock them to wake up spiritually, why they are trying to just kick it and party. “You throw your pearls before the swine” This is the words of Jesus, but plagiarized and flipped at Christians to instruct instruct then to “make the monkey blind”, which of course means keep the Christian in the dark about the secret. Ooops!

an appropriate song for this blog: Cruel Summer–Bananarama
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are sayin’
What did they say
Things I can’t understand
It’s too close for comfort this heat has got right out of hand
It’s a cruel … cruel … cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel … it’s a cruel … cruel summer
Now you’ve gone
The city is crowded my friends are away and I’m on my own
It’s too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go
It’s a cruel … cruel … cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel … it’s a cruel .. cruel summer
Now you’ve gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel … cruel … cruel summer
Leaving meeeeee … leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel … it’s a cruel … cruel summer
Now you’ve gone
It’s a cruel … cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel … cruel summer
Now you’ve gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel … cruel … cruel summer
Leaving meeeeee … leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel … it’s a cruel … cruel summer
Now you’ve gone

I can only wonder if this will come back to bite them. Sure, right now, things seem to be going smoothly with the Latinos and Blacks, but what happens when one minority gets a bigger lick?

This guy came across as an arrogant, smarter than thou, doofus. He graduated from college in 1991 and he is helping ruin the economy of the US? He didn’t have a problem with taxes upwards of 57%.?? He was a kid the last time the economy in this country was in serious trouble. Where are the grownups?
txmomof6 on July 19, 2009 at 2:11 PM
I may have misquoted Franklin. The point I was trying to make is that God does know and He will exact punishment. He always has. This country is suffering the consequences of the last few decades because God has allowed it.
I believe this as well, yet I take no comfort in it, as I believe that to reach that ultimate good, some true suffering may be needed. I don’t look forward to that.

I’ve come to think so, too. He’s willing to “sacrifice” himself for the “revolution”.

Great analogy, baldi. But I actually don’t believe that the imbeciles on Team Obama “want” to ruin the nation’s economy. I believe that they are too stupid to understand the consequences of their wealth redistribution schemes, and probably also that they are indifferent to those consequences, in fact.
Criminally insane, maybe. Pathologically destructive, probably not. They’re not smart enough to be.

We already did sterilize minorities. This is part of our reparations…a heinous act, born out of Sanger’s ideology, and our reparations to those individuals cannot go far enough.
Too bad the very people who were affected by this practice are the ones who voted the madman into office. Irony.

I’m no consitutional scholar, but could someone enlightmen me regarding the consitutionality of tax-payer funded abortions visa-vis the 1st Amendment.
Couuldn’t a case be made that for me, a practising Catholic for whom abortions or assisting in any way in providing an abortion is a mortal sin, to be made to pay my tax dollars to fund abortions is government prohibition of my free practice of religion?
