White House 'Reality Check' Site on Healthcare Silent on Abortion
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
Checking out the White House's new "Reality Check" Web site on health insurance reform, I'm struck that it doesn't mention abortion.
Officially launched yesterday, the site aims to counter what the White House calls "rumors and scare tactics" and "a lot of the outrageous claims floating around" regarding the Democrats' healthcare reform proposals. With Democrats claiming that one of the biggest myths about those proposals is that they'll use taxpayer money to cover abortions, I'm surprised that the White House site is mum on the issue.
The site tackles allegations that the Democrats' healthcare plan will finance euthanasia, lead to healthcare rationing, force people to give up their current healthcare plans, burden small business, and cut Medicare. I wonder what's behind the silence on abortion.

Leaving the questions unanswered
Love your tactics Gilgoff. Don't talk about what is or isn't real, just leave an open-ended question about "why the White House is silent on abortion" hanging out there to fuel myths and rumors. Classic right-wing stuff "appeal to the uneducated, unwilling to find out more, vote by messaging and fear not facts Rovian strategies"
I pray God will give people good sense or that Democrats will become as good at exploiting fears as the right-wing radicals.
Sick!
Abortion
Hi Let me get this straight. Abortion is bad.....but denying health care to people in order to make millions is ok
