			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>[UPDATE] Following public criticisms of new federally-funded health insurance plans that would have covered elective abortions in Pennsylvania and New Mexico, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a statement that the agency will act to exclude abortion from this program. This shows the need for a clear mandate from congress excluding explicit taxpayer funding of abortion, instead of making it dependent on the the President.</em></p>
<p>&#8212;-</p>
<p>During the passage of the recent healthcare reform legislation in the United States, a great deal of controversy was generated by the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortion and in a last-minute compromise,  President Obama decided to sign an executive order banning federal funding of abortion right before he signed the healthcare reform legislation.</p>
<p>Pro-Life organizations were united in their opposition to the proposed legislation as well as the executive order, because they felt that it actually concealed an expansion of abortion and made American taxpayers responsible for paying for more and more abortions.</p>
<p>Evidence of the wisdom and foresight of prolifers is becoming more clear and has most recently presented itself in the revelation that the Obama Administration just approved the <strong>FIRST </strong>direct taxpayer funding of abortion through new high-risk insurance pools in Pennsylvania.</p>
