Last week, I wondered whether President Obama was telling a whopper during a conference call on August 19 when he dismissed as “fabrications” charges by the National Right to Life Committee and others that a White House-backed health reform bill contained government subsidies for abortion.
According to the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s FactCheck.org, it was President Obama who was not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth:
“Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans.” Here’s the link: http://factcheck.org/2009/08/abortion-which-side-is-fabricating/
