The article I read discusses the problem of abortion within the new health care bill. It explains how the bill passed despite the section that allows abortion and for such abortions to be paid for by the American taxpayers. Stupak is a Michigan Democrat who, along with other house democrats, agreed to pass the health care bill knowing that the abortion clause was still part of the bill. These democratic representatives have been staunch pro-life supporters in the past but agreed to the bill anyway. Obama gave an executive order against abortion as a cover up, but his order does not have a higher power than the health care bill, which makes it a gimmick to assuage the anger of democratic voters. I honestly don’t have an opinion about abortion, it should probably be situational and the background and specific decision making by the two possible parents should be under review. It is just unfair to promise a pro-life term of office when they sell out their beliefs to get the bill passed, which would have been rejected without these votes.
