Senate Plan Would Pay for Abortions at Community Health Centers-American Holocaust Continues on Your Tax Dollars

As a State senator for Illionios, Barack Obama fought against the unborn reciening medical treatment if they survived an abortion attempt.

He is the most vile Pro Abortion president in American history. Now he wants your tax dollars to pay for the killing of unborn babies and tries to mask the atrocity as women’s empowerment.

50 million babies
have been killed in the United States since 1973. It’s an American Holocaust Democrats and even Republicans fail to acknowledge as true.

The law says a woman has a right to kill her unborn child. ObamaCare wants every American to pay for the privilege.

The Weekly Standard reports:

If there are any wavering pro-life Democrats in this late hour who need to be persuaded about how awful the Senate health care bill is, they should read two memos that make it clear how the Senate bill would allow community health care centers to directly fund abortions with federal money. The first memo (download it here) is by the pro-life secretariat at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, an organization that would support the health care plan if the bill didn't fund abortions with tax dollars. The other memo is by the National Right to Life Committee.

The memos thoroughly examine the actual legislative text of the Nelson and Stupak amendments. (Read the text of Stupak's amendment here and Nelson's amendment here.) Here are two irrefutable points that show that the bill would directly pay for abortions with federal funds:

1. Some of the most important words in Stupak's amendment to the House bill stipulate that "No funds authorized or appropriated by this Act" may be used to pay for elective abortions. These words are missing from Ben Nelson's amendment to the Senate bill. So even if you support the Senate bill's dubious bookkeeping scheme to segregate premium dollars from federal subsidies in order to pay for abortions, these regulations do not apply to the $11 billion slated for the health centers under Obamacare.

2. The courts have ruled that, unless prohibited by statute, public health care programs must fund abortions. Medicaid paid for 300,000 abortions per year following Roe v. Wade until the Hyde amendment, which bans funding for elective abortions through programs funded by the health and human services appropriations bill, became law in 1976. So community health centers could use taxpayer money to fund abortions.

The editors of Commonweal try to claim that the Hyde amendment would apply to the community health centers:

"since such money will in any case be channeled through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), where the Hyde Amendment obtains, there is no good reason to suppose that it will be exempt from the amendment’s constraints. [...] the Hyde Amendment works only if it covers everything HHS spends."

But the Hyde amendment does not say that "none of the funds channeled through HHS" may pay for elective abortions; it says "none of the funds appropriated by this act" may pay for elective abortions. A Hyde-like amendment needs to be included in each different act authorizing public health programs, or the programs will end up paying for abortions, just as Indian Health Services did long after the Hyde amendment was on the books.
