Regardless of your stance on abortion, it’s undeniable that federal funding of abortion with taxpayer dollars is a completely different issue. Obamacare upset the decades-long truce regarding federal funding of abortion. As Obamacare’s opponents predicted at the time, the Executive Order supposedly restricting such funding under Obamacare was just a fig-leaf. Now the fig-leaf is coming off.
“the current administration is prepared to funnel millions of dollars in new Medicaid funding to abortion providers. Only President Romney working with the new Congress can stop it.”
“where is this new Medicaid funding coming from? Call it another “gift” from President Obama and his allies in Congress to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, covertly delivered through the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade”
“Much of this increase in Medicaid spending will go directly to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. According to the Guttmacher Institute, “In 2001, [Medicaid] provided six in 10 of all public dollars spent far surpassing the Title X national family planning program (15%), and other programs.” … Translation: Abortion providers that receive Medicaid funds are literally bankrolling their businesses with public dollars.”
“there is growing evidence, including testimony in recently unsealed “whistleblower” lawsuits, that some abortion providers already fail to routinely provide “meaningful” separation of funds, ensuring that tax dollars are not directly paying for abortion-related services.”
“Clearly, given the abortion industry’s reliance on Medicaid funds, they are going to greatly benefit from the estimated $100 billion annual expansion in Medicaid funding permitted through the Affordable Care Act”
“We need Congress to amend the federal Medicaid statute to permit states to determine that abortion providers are not qualified to provide care through the Medicaid program”
