Jill Stanek observes in her World Net Daily column that something is missing from the “Reality Check” Web site that the White House set up to defend ObamaCare: “the A-word.”
The White House is going to great lengths to refute accusations that its health care reform plan would promote euthanasia and rationing, but makes no attempt to counter claims that it would mandate government funding of abortion. There’s a reason for that. As Stanek notes, this July 2007 video of the then-candidate Obama addressing the Planned Parenthood Action Fund conference shows that the President believes abortion should be the “center and heart” of any health care reform.

Section 1233 of House Resolution 3200 puts our senior citizens on a slippery slope and may diminish respect for the inherent dignity of each of their lives. … It is egregious to consider that any senior citizen … should be placed in a situation where he or she would feel pressured to save the government money by dying a little sooner than he or she otherwise would, be required to be counseled about the supposed benefits of killing oneself, or be encouraged to sign any end of life directives that they would not otherwise sign.
