David Axelrod says Obama will remove abortion funding ban from Health Care Bill aka the Stupak amendment

axelrodDebbie Wasserman-Schultz actually spoke the truth for once in her life when she admitted on MSNBC a few days ago that the Stupak amendment wouldn’t last in the PelosiCARE healthcare bill. David Axelrod confirmed it today  on CNN’s “State of the Union”. Axelrod says Obama will work with congressional Democrats to remove the abortion funding ban the House approved in its version of the government-run health care bill, according to LifeNews.

“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 today on CNN’s State of the Union program.

“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,” he added. “I believe that there are discussions ongoing to how to adjust it accordingly.”

Axelrod said that an agreement with ruling Democrats in Congress to remove the ban on taxpayer funding of abortions “can and will be worked through before it reaches his desk.”
