Are they not even going to bother with the smoke and mirrors?
Not a word was said about it today. Meanwhile, Stupak is acting like he's overturned Roe v. Wade.
He compared the Executive Oder to...Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
Stupak released a statement today defending the as-yet-unsigned executive order, placing it on a list of other significant orders that included Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation and Harry Truman's 1948 order desegregating the U.S. armed forces.
"Throughout history, Executive Orders have been an important means of implementing public policy," Stupak said in a statement. "The most famous Executive Order was the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Lincoln in 1863."
A couple of problems there Swifty. Lincoln was a ferocious anti-slavery advocate. Obama is a ferocious abortion advocate. See a problem with the sincerity?
More importantly, the proclamation was a prohibition against slavery, not an order restricting the use of taxpayer dollars to carry out enslavement of human beings.
I guess we're done now as a country with any claim that abortion is not the killing an unborn child?
Since the President has agreed that if you're going pay people to kill other people, don't use the taxpayer's money to do it, has that intellectual dishonesty finally been put out of it's misery?
The Stupak-negotiated abortion executive order has drawn withering criticism from pro-life groups. Stupak called the attacks "disingenuous."
“This Executive Order has the full force and effect of law and makes very clear that current law of no public funding for abortion applies to the new health care reform legislation," Stupak's statement said.
Right up until the time they send some guinea pig into court to challenge it.
