Factcheck.org never said that "obamacare [whatever the heck that is] will not allow for taxpayer funded abortions." As usual their comments on the issue are nuanced, non-biased and factually accurate. I encourage everyone who reads this post to click on the link to the factcheck.org column. It is fair and informative.2) I understand that many Heritage Foundation readers don't want government involved in healthcare at all. The argument from the get-rid-of-medicare crowd usually has something to do with the government's ideology getting in between people and their doctors. But if you're opposed the government getting between individuals and their doctors, why are you fighting to deny funding for a perfectly legal medical procedure? I understand the argument for outlawing abortion, but the get-rid-of-medicare crowd should not be interested in getting between individuals and a perfectly legal medical procedure.
