To all my brothers and sister and particularly theUSCCB: I still have not gotten over the news that the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church were holding hands and dancing in a circle singing Kum-by-ya as they celebrated the news that President Obama "assured" them that there would be no public funded abortion provision in the Obamacare bill. The bishops for some reason are influenced by some unknown that clouded their memory that Obama was ONE of Four assemblymen who voted to continue letting infants, born after a botched abortion, lay in dirty-linen closets to die unattended; Born Alive Bill. So it is not a great surprise to those who do not "smoke" that this bill being forced through Congress will have a public option and a public funded abortion provision. Does our president Lie?? It would be good if you have a second to read an answer to this question by Charles Krauthammer.

Dear friends, if you are an ever increasing number of American Citizens skeptical (to be kind) about Obama's convoluted health care plan, please call your representative and voice your objection. We all want health care reform, but not like this.

US Senate committee rejects bid to bar abortion funding in health-care reformSeptember 30, 2009.In a key test of pro-life voting strength, the US Senate's finance committee on September 30 rejected an amendment to prohibit funding of abortion in the proposed health-care reform plan. By a 13-10 vote, the committee rejected the amendment offered by Senator Orrin Hatch, which stipulated that no funds provided by the reform proposal could be sued for "any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion.".
.
Senator Max Baucus, the chief sponsor of the reform plan, insisted that the legislation as it stands does not allow for federal funding of abortion. (Most media outlets accepted that assertion, and headlines suggested that the Hatch amendment would have "tightened" or "imposed further restrictions" or "stronger" language prohibiting abortion funding.).
.
But pro-life activists note that the reform plan would subsidize health-insurance scheme that include abortion coverage. Hatch noted that his amendment would have brought the health-care reform proposal into line with existing legislation that bars federal funding for abortion. Hatch argued: "All I'm asking-- my gosh!-- is for specific language in the bill that prohibits federal dollars from being used to fund abortions."
