The 'Executive Order' Won't Stop Abortion Funding
Here's Why:
1. An executive order can be rescinded any time. President Obama could reverse it next week, next month, or next year. Should another pro-abortion president be elected in the future, it could be rescinded on inauguration day.
2. An executive order will not prevent insurance companies that provide abortion from participating in the exchanges.
3. Abortion funding in the health care legislation can be only be removed using the legislative process. An executive order not only doesn't fix the problem, it isn't needed to fix the problem, and could not stand a legal challenge. If Democrats are serious about protecting taxpayers from funding abortion in the health care bill, they must use the legislative process to fix the problem.

Stupak knew this all along. He is just another one who caved. I hoped he would have the courage of his convictions, but sadly not. I wonder if there are any in office who do. Do we have any Americans left who would be willing to fight, no matter what, for their values and beliefs?
ReplyDeleteIf Stupak really HAD convictions his vote would not have even been 'in play.' He could have looked at the dangers presented by the bill as a whole and rejected it outright.
ReplyDeleteHis reasoning for changing his vote, a promise from the man who voted against the 'born alive protection act,' shows him to be a man of talk and not a man of substance.
His sellout was expected, but it stinks nonetheless.
All too true.
