WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, addressed questions pertaining to the effect of health care legislation on abortion policy. George Stephanopoulos has posted a partial transcript of the exchange on his blog at blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/09/sebelius-president-rules-out-public-funding-for-abortion.html.

 

What follows is a reaction from Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the national federation of right-to-life organizations: "For months, the President, his staff, and his congressional allies have misrepresented actual language in their bills that would result in government funding of elective abortions. The latest statements by Mr. Obama and Ms. Sebelius are most likely a continuation of their strategy of denial, evasion, and distortion. We say, watch what they do, not what they say."

The latest statements by Mr. Obama and Ms. Sebelius are most likely a continuation of their strategy of denial, evasion, and distortion.

Bummer’s Keystone Kops performance in the national health care debate (not that I wouldn’t wish that an ignominious end) has certainly sealed his reputation as fibber-in-chief. I wouldn’t buy a used car from this guy.

DEMS are LIARS!

Sebelius took campaign funds from and protect George Tiller the abortion killer. She is scum and her continued lying is not even in the same ballpark with her perfidy toward the slaughtered alive unborn children on her blood drenched hands.

Maybe they need a new spokesman...

Excuse me... WHY would anyone believe anything a supporter of the wholesale murder of the most innocent among us...the UNBORN????

THE PRESIDENT: So that’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that’s also a huge driver of cost, right? I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

Interviewer: So how do you — how do we deal with it?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It’s not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance
