Bart Stupak signed on to ObamaCare after President Obama gave him an executive order and his promise that taxpayer money would not be spent on abortions. And as everyone but Stupak expected, neither of those commitments is being honored:

The Obama administration has officially approved the first instance of taxpayer funded abortions under the new national government-run health care program. This is the kind of abortion funding the pro-life movement warned about when Congress considered the bill.
The Obama Administration will give Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new "high-risk" insurance program under a provision of the federal health care legislation enacted in March.

It has quietly approved a plan submitted by an appointee of pro-abortion Governor Edward Rendell under which the new program will cover any abortion that is legal in Pennsylvania.

The high-risk pool program is one of the new programs created by the sweeping health care legislation, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, President Obama signed into law on March 23. The law authorizes $5 billion in federal funds for the program, which will cover as many as 400,000 people when it is implemented nationwide.

"The Obama Administration will give Pennsylvania $160 million in federal tax funds, which we've discovered will pay for insurance plans that cover any legal abortion," said Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee.

Johnson told LifeNews.com: "This is just the first proof of the phoniness of President Obama's assurances that federal funds would not subsidize abortion -- but it will not be the last."


Thanks a lot Stupak. You sold out your long-held pro-life principles and gave up your congressional seat for squat. Because of you American taxpayers who abhor abortion are now on the hook for paying for it.

I am shocked that Obama lied to Stupak and to the rest of us.  Surely he would not lie about death panels and rationing of healthcare would he?

Stupak realizes full well that he hosed up, which explains why he's retiring after this term. He denies it, but that's a lie.
