John McCormack writes:
Congressman Bart Stupak issues a statement blaming "conservative groups" for spreading "misinformation about whether or not pre-existing condition insurance pools will use federal dollars for abortion services":
The President’s Executive Order makes clear that federal funds may not be used for abortion under the Affordable Care Act – including the pre-existing condition insurance pools currently being implemented in Pennsylvania, New Mexico and other states across the country.
"In fact, when the Executive Order was signed, it was widely seen as simply reiterating what was already in the PPACA and current law. ... Abortion opponents who participated in the [executive order] bargaining did not raise concerns about high risk pools or other specific potential sources of federal funding, and they should be able to live with the deal they made."
So abortion opponents "should be able to live with the deal," but, of course, those who are aborted because of the new law won't.
