NRLC says that new version of Obamacare is even more pro-abortion

From LifeSiteNews.

Excerpt:

A new health care bill proposed by President Obama Monday threatens to expand abortion even more drastically than the health care bills stymied in Congress over the past several months, says the National Right to Life Committee.

[…]”Any member of Congress who votes for the final legislation proposed by President Obama will be voting for direct federal funding of elective abortion through Community Health Centers, and also an array of other pro-abortion federal subsidies and mandates,” said NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson in a statement Monday.

[…]Among the president’s proposed “targeted set of changes to” the Senate bill, Johnson said, none “diminish any of the sweeping pro-abortion problems in the Senate bill, and he actually proposes to increase the funds that would be available to directly subsidize abortion procedures (through Community Health Centers) and to subsidize private health insurance that covers abortion (through the premium-subsidy tax credits program).”

“If all of the President’s changes were made,” said Johnson, “the resulting legislation would allow direct federal funding of abortion on demand through Community Health Centers, would institute federal subsidies for private health plans that cover abortion on demand (including some federally administered plans), and would authorize federal mandates that would require even non-subsidized private plans to cover elective abortion.”

Obama loves abortion, and he wants you to pay for it, even if you are pro-life.

Excerpt:

Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) both said a Medicare “buy-in” option for those aged 55-64 was a deal breaker.

“I’m concerned that it’s the forerunner of single payer, the ultimate single-payer plan, maybe even more directly than the public option,” Nelson said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Lieberman said Democrats should stop looking for a public option “compromise” and simply scrap the idea altogether.

“You’ve got to take out the Medicare buy-in. You’ve got to forget about the public option,” he said.

If Democrats stick to relying primarily on the bill’s subsidies, the legislation would pass easily and with bipartisan support, Lieberman argued.

Ace also notes that Clair McCaskill will vote against anything that fails to bring down the deficit.

Once again, she’s speaking really well today – like William Lane Craig. Smooth, full of interesting details. What a delight. Be sure and check out her last video, when she was doing the exact same thing with the war in Afghanistan. She’s still looking very serious and intense. I feel badly that the Democrats are making her unhappy and there isn’t anything I can do about it – but I did send her a donation.

She’s trying to convince social conservatives to become fiscal conservatives!
