Today is the six-month anniversary of the passage of President Obama's signature legislation, what has come to be known as ObamaCare. The White House is feting this semi-anniversary, but few Americans are in a mood to join the celebration.[. . .]
The easiest Obama claim to refute is his contention that ObamaCare would not fund abortions. This is because he refuted it himself by issuing an executive order explicitly forbidding the funding of abortions through ObamaCare. When I first learned of this particular ruse, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Because it is a ruse; albeit very clever one that many people, apparently including "pro-life" Democrats like Bart Stupak, fail to see through. You see, if ObamaCare had not funded abortion in the first place, then his executive order would be unnecessary. So the executive order constitutes evidence that, contra Obama, ObamaCare had funded abortion all along. At the same time, however, since federal law always and everywhere trumps executive orders, Obama's order is not worth the paper it is written on. As a Harvard-trained lawyer, the President surely realizes that his executive order will not stand up to the most cursory of judicial reviews. Obamacare will then be used as Obama, Reid and Pelosi intended, as a vehicle to promote and perform abortions. It seems to me that our choice as Americans is simple: Either we euthanize ObamaCare before it is too late, or it winds up euthanizing us.via Time to Pay an "End-of-Life Visit" to ObamaCare | Population Research Institute.
