Abortion spending in health care plan still an issue

This from Lifenews.com:

Although the Obama administration promised it will limit federal taxpayer funding of abortions in the new high risk health insurance programs created under the ObamaCare law President Barack Obama signed into law, officials have said the limits are temporary and apply only to the new program.

Douglas Johnson, legislative director for National Right to Life Committee, said this about the likelihood of ongoing struggles over abortion funding through the new health care law:

… unless Congress repeals the health care law or performs major corrective surgery on it, there will be years of battles, as each new program is implemented, over how elective abortion will be covered—and the White House is suggesting that today’s policy will not necessarily be applied when implementing the other programs, some of which will cover far larger populations.”

U.S. pro-lifers will need to be on the lookout for continuing mischief.
