Obama Administration Clarifies Rules on Abortion Funding in Health Care Legislation - Political Punch
While the solicitation said that elective abortions are not covered, it also stated the plan would include only abortions and contraceptives that satisfy the requirements of a number of Pennsylvania statutes -- including one stating that abortions can be provided by physicians who determine in his best clinical judgment, the abortion is necessary ... in the light of all factors (physical, emotional, psychological, familial and the woman's age) relevant to the well-being of the woman. No abortion which is sought solely because of the sex of the unborn child shall be deemed a necessary abortion.
To Johnson, that suggested that federal funds will subsidize coverage of abortion performed for any reason, except sex selection. The Pennsylvania proposal conspicuously lacks language that would prevent funding of abortions performed as a method of birth control or for any other reason, except sex selection -- and the Obama administration has now approved this."
