Have you paid your dollar for free abortions today?


Barack Obama promised us that no federal money would go to fund abortions, but that's not the case here. In the editorial it talks about the Obamacare legislation now are having "people who enroll in a healthcare exchange plan will be required to pay a $1 ‘abortion surcharge’ every month on their plans." What’s wrong is how Obamacare guidelines were being added after the legislation was signed. Kathleen Sebelius, the Human Services secretary created the guidelines that were recently added. I think what's upsetting is the fact is that she is an unelected official. Should she really have the control to put out all of the guidelines? 

In the editorial the author doesn't exactly state his view on abortion. I'm guessing since the blog was posted on the Free Republic website, the author would be more conservative. Conservatives tend to be more pro-life, so I think the author could’ve been pro-life as well. I think that the author overall just seemed disappointed at how the guidelines were added. I agree that what Kathleen Sebelius did wasn't very fair or right. I believe what the author wanted to point out, is that Obama didn't follow through with his promise. When Joe Wilson yelled out "you lie" at Obama's State of the Union Address, Obama made his promise. The author then states “The answer to that question is quite obvious now." This shows the author believes Obama lied as he made that promise.

What attracted me to this blog was that it had to do with abortion. This past January, I went to the pro-life rally in Austin. Many mothers were there that had abortions and they regretted their decision. I think the many young women that had or going to have an abortion will regret their choice later on in life. Abortion is just a very sad and awful choice. I know there are many out there who are pro-abortion, but one thing is Obama broke his promise. Now the people who use the healthcare plan are considered to be abortionists. Abortion has been an on-going issue in politics, there are many strong views towards it. It will remain to be a continuing issue in politics.
