September 22, 2010

When you click on the link “See the Facts,” you see the following and nothing more. You get to salute and say, “Yes, sir!” rather than being treated like an adult with some evidence and an argument. 

Myth Health insurance reform will use my tax dollars to fund abortions.

Fact No. The health insurance reform legislation maintains the status quo of no federal funding for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the woman is endangered.
