Sunday Paper - November 15th, 2009
We already know Obama overturned legislation preventing the use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund abortions overseas, now he aims to strip abortion language from the healthcare bill…

The abortion amendment was tacked on to the House health care bill and was a key factor in securing the votes of moderate Democrats before the bill was approved by a narrow margin last weekend.

Axelrod said in an interview Sunday that the amendment changes the “status quo,” something the president cannot abide.
“The president has said repeatedly, and he said in his speech to Congress, that he doesn’t believe that this bill should change the status quo as it relates to the issue of abortion,” Axelrod said. “This shouldn’t be a debate about abortion. And he’s going to work with Senate and the House to try and ensure that at the end of the day, the status quo is not changed … I believe that there are discussions ongoing to how to adjust it accordingly.”
