Excerpted from “Stupak Says Deal Looming for Abortion Funding Ban in Health Care; The leader of a key bloc of House Democrats opposed to abortion said Sunday that he is close to an agreement that would allow him to vote for the health care bill.” By FOXNews.com, Updated March 21, 2010
[SIZE="+2"]T[/SIZE]he leader of a key bloc of House Democrats opposed to abortion said Sunday that he is close to an agreement that would allow him to vote for the health care bill but he has not yet given a "yes."
President Obama could offer a presidential executive order saying that money used for insurance exchanges as envisioned in health care legislation pending in Congress will not go to fund abortion services.
Supporters hope the order, which does not require congressional approval, would shore up long-standing law barring federal aid for abortions except for cases of rape or incest or when the mother's life is threatened. …
Can the Democrats unite around health care reform? It would be ‘a good thing.’
