Pennsylvania Gets $160 Million in ObamaCare’s first payout that Will Fund Abortions with Taxpayer Dollars.

On July 13th the Obama Administration announced $160 million dollars that will go to Pennsylvania to establish a “high-risk” insurance pool. And has quietly approved a plan by an appointee of Governor Edward Rendell (D) under which the program will fund any abortion that is legal in Pennsylvania according to National Right to Life.

“The Obama Administration will give $160 Million in federal tax funds, which we’ve discovered will pay for insurance plans that will cover abortions.” Said Dennis Johnson, legislative director for National Right to Life. “

This is just the first proof of the phoniness of President Obama’s assurances that federal funds would not subsidize abortion – but it will not be the last.”

The health care reform bill passed in March after President Obama made assurances to pro-life Democrats that no public money would be used to fund abortions. To further assure those Democrats, Obama even issued an executive order which NRLC called “meaningless” since a bill signed into law trumps an executive order by the president. We now see the validity in NRLC’s claims as this funding to Pennsylvania will occur despite Obama’s assurances and executive order.

“President Obama successfully opposed including language in the bill to prevent federal subsidies for abortions, and now the Administration is quietly advancing its abortion-expanding agenda through administrative decisions such as this, which they hope will escape broad public attention,” Johnson said.

After narrowlly passing the House of Representatives with 219-206 vote before the July 4th break the “Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act” looks to be losing support in the Senate. The bill would put tough disclosure rules on corporations and non-profits like National Right to Life and its affiliates during elections and harm the ability of such groups to endorse and support candiates, while exempting other groups such as unions, the Sierra Club and the National Rifle Association. The bill sponsors were hoping to target moderate Republicans to cross over and get the 60 votes needed to prevent a filibuster. One targeted senator Scott Brown (R-MA) has stated that he will not support the bill despite several groups’ attempts to sway him. Another targeted Senator Susan Collins (R- ME) has stated that she has “serious concerns” over the exemptions and worries that the bill is “simply unfair.” A vote is not scheduled as supporters seek to get the votes needed.
