On July 14, 2010, Cybercast News Service (CNS) reported that the health care reform legislation Obama signed into law on March 23, 2010 will soon employ tax-payer funds to pay for abortions in Pennsylvania. According to CNS, the “Health and Human Services Department is giving Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover any abortion that is legal in the state.”

And in addition to the $160 million going to Pennsylvania, the federal government is also dispersing $12.5 billion for “community health centers” which can then, in turn, “fund abortions.”

In other words: When Obama issued an Executive Order barring the use of federal monies for abortion, it meant nothing. (Yes, it meant Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) was gullible, but other than that it meant absolutely nothing.)

Not only is Obama’s administration doing what he promised it wouldn’t do, but it’s trying to cover its tracks while doing it. Thus, instead of sending money directly to abortion providers, monies go to “community health centers” which then pay for abortions as needed. Or, in the case of Pennsylvania, tax-payer monies are placed at the discretion of state administrators for high risk insurance pools who then distribute the funds to abortion clinics. (more…)
