What Is A President’s Word Worth?
In Just a Thought, July 22nd, 2010
Wouldn’t you think, if you were elected to the highest office in the land, that your word could be trusted? Or not?
Remember during the Obamacare debate, the final few votes needed for passage in the House belonged to pro-life Democrats who feared the bill would use federal dollars to fund abortions. Led by Congressman Stupak, their votes were won by a promise that an Executive Order, signed by the President would make it crystal clear that no taxpayer funds would ever be used to pay for abortions.
Now, the Administration has authorized $160 million to Pennsylvania to set up a high risk government insurance pool which, you guessed it, will pay for any abortions legal in the state.
The compromise lasted less than four months, but the betrayal was not unexpected given the record of this White House.
Congressman Stupak is not running for re-election, his compromise kept him from seeking another term…but I wonder, will the cries of the executed young ones keep him awake at night?
