The Daily Plunge

A lot of Democrats have been insisting that ObamaCare doesn’t fund abortion. Even some of the faux pro-life Democrats who have decided to vote for the bill feel comfortable voting for it now. I guess if you tell yourself a lie long enough you can believe it. Let’s be serious, a pro-life Democrat is like a Unicorn (i.e. a mythical figure). The reason the Democrats haven’t added more restrictive language on abortion is because their caucus is committed to free abortions on demand.

A leading abortion rights advocate in the House said on Saturday that as many as 50 lawmakers were prepared to abandon health care reform legislation if the final bill were to include more restrictive abortion language.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) told reporters that she has conveyed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she and at least 49 other pro-choice Democrats would vote against the final measure if abortion language authored by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) were to be reinserted.

“She knows that,” Schakowsky said, “and the Speaker is pro-choice herself. She has made it very clear to Bart Stupak that there is no deal. But he can’t seem to take yes for an answer.”

Evidently being pro-choice means encouraging as many abortions as possible and making Americans pay for it. Keep in mind this is the party that doesn’t want to stop partial birth abortions. I’m sorry, the procedure is actually called “intact dilation and extraction.” When you think of it like it doesn’t sound quite as evil.
