The Senate blocked an amendment that would have restricted use of federal funds for abortion in the health care bill. That means that most Democrats want abortion funding to be part of the bill. That means that pro-life Democrats are more likely to vote against the whole thing. So the socialists are being sunk by the eugenists.

Unite your side + divide their side = win.

On the other hand, it could just mean that we’ll all be working hard to abort babies if this thing passes somehow. We’ll see.

Welcome, Comrade David Hamilton!

Remember, we’re supposed to judge Obama’s performance and beliefs by the people he associates with.

ACLU leader?  Check!

ACORN fundraiser?  Check!

Anti-Christian but pro-Muslim?  Check!

Lenient on drug and child predator sentencing?  Check!

Pro-abortion?  Check!

Believes in “empathy” rather than strict interpretation of the law?  Check!

The Democrat health care bill includes the public option, the public option requires payment of premiums into the federal treasury, and those funds can be used to pay for abortions.

Therefore, the health care reform bill would permit public money to be used to pay for abortions under the government health care plan. Yay.

As is customary, the byzantine language used in legislation is confusing as hell. Here’s how it works:

Currently, federal money can’t be used to pay for abortions. There is no law against it (as the Obama administration tries to claim). There’s simply an amendment to the federal budget that has to be renewed every year that disallows federal funding for abortions. So all that’s required for the federal government (and for the public option) to permit federal funding for elective abortions is for Congress to decide not to renew that budget amendment.

Can you imagine a possibility where Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack “4th Trimester” Obama might let that amendment lapse?
