Remember how Rep. Bart Stupak and all those "principled" Democrats were going to vote against Obamacare because it provides taxpayer funding for abortions? Remember how Obama write Stupak a letter promising that would never happen?
Obama lied.
The letter isn't worth the paper it was printed on. Stupak is retiring from the House but his legacy is the betrayal of the unborn and the American taxpayers.
U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, released the following statement Wednesday in response to the Obama Administration spending $160 million on a "high risk" insurance program that will pay for abortions:
"It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion. It is also reprehensible to take taxpayer dollars from millions of pro-life Americans and use them to pay for abortions.
"President Obama promised the American people that his health care law would not allow federal funding of abortion. But according to an investigation by the National Right to Life Committee, this allocation for Pennsylvania’s high risk pool will break the president's promise by using taxpayer dollars to subsidize coverage of nearly any kind of abortion.
"We must stop this immoral offense against human life and against American taxpayers. Congress should act quickly on critical legislation by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) to stop the administration from using ObamaCare to fund abortions. The best long-term solution, and the one that I remain committed to, is the total repeal of ObamaCare."
