White House Reality Check Site Still Silent on Abortion
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
Since launching three weeks ago, the White House Reality Check Web site on healthcare reform has been updated several times to debunk a growing number of alleged myths about the Democrats' plan.
But the site is still silent on conservatives' charge that the plan will use taxpayer money to cover abortions. It's a stunning omission, given how much the government-funded abortion allegation has dominated this month's congressional town hall meetings on healthcare reform—and given that President Obama himself has called the charge a myth. "You've heard that this is all going to mean government funding of abortion," he said recently. "Not true."
Why does the White House site ignore such a big elephant in the room? I can think of two possible reasons.
The first is obvious: The abortion-in-healthcare-reform debate is one the administration would rather avoid, lest it consume the entire debate over reform. The other is that the White House sees the abortion-in-healthcare question very much as an open one and is still weighing options on exactly how government-controlled healthcare ought to treat abortion.
Have another theory?

Lust is not Love:
We need to address the holocaust of the abortion slaughter first.
In a parallel effort and a "common ground" approach we support Sex Education.
Sex Education is important and most people completely support it. Sex Education should include love, how lust is not love, abstinence, responsibile choices to protect life, sona gram video of unborn babies, unique DNA at conception, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, STDs that cause failures to have children later, how condiums don't protect against STDs, sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, reproductive health, emotional relationships, reproductive responsibilities, values, healthy relationships, and contraception.
Talking about sex education and contraception prior to addressing the abortion slaughter is working on lower priorities first. Sex education and contraception alone will not solve the abortion holocaust. It's like wanting to discuss proper diet to a person that is currently having a heart attack. We need to solve the heart attack (the slaughter from abortion). Proper diet may help but it is too little too late for a person having a Heart Attack. We encourage a "common ground" approach of true sex education. Sex Education must come as a second priority to abortion.
Why don't we call it Love Education? Sex is something that any animal can do. Sex can be lowered to only lust. Humans are much more capable of the complexities of Love. Humans are not limited to shallow lust.
Seek the Truth. Speak the Truth. Share the Truth.
Love Education.
Life is Love.
Love Life.
Love does not Destroy Life:
Abortion is not health care. It is a slaughter of 3200 unborn babies a DAY, 96,000 a MONTH, 1.2 Million a year, and more than 45 Million in 36 years in America.
This is a slaughter of the least of our people (poorest, weakest, most dependant, and least of our people).
Say NO to the free slaughter without a chance to respect and protect the lives of both the mother and the child.
Respect Life.
Protect Life.
Protect Love.
Love Life.

I love the morning after pill. They will sell them at the gas station soon. I have unprotected sex with my boyfriend all the time and just take the Plan B pill.
It is definitely better than waiting longer for the baby to get big.
We have free abortions in my state. We don't have to tell our parents either. Anyway one time they pulled the thing out of me and it was still moving and the arms were moving. Oh my god I was like I'm right here do you have to show me it!!!! I'm not sure what they do with it but I was like please put it in the garbage already damn....GROOOOOSE.
