Congresswoman Uses Scare Tactics In ObamaCare Debate





*** BREAKING: CITADEL (ABC RADIO), OWNER OF WABC, WLS, KABC, WBAP, KGO, KSFO, WJR PREPARES FOR IMMINENT BANKRUPTCY FILING ***

Could ObamaCare eliminate abortion as we know it? That's the strange reasoning used by one Democratic congresswoman in an increasingly heated debate over public funds for the procedure.

But why would her own party, a traditional supporter, move to end the practice? Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) claims ObamaCare without public funding for abortions would lead to "back-alleys and hangers".

Further, she claims women will be prohibited from obtaining coverage to terminate a pregnancy, even with private (non-government-option) insurance.

From an interview during syndicated libtalker Ed Schultz's radio program, here's the audio and transcript:





SCHAKOWSKY (03:39): We are willing, we don't love it, but we are willing to stay with the parameters of what was called the Hyde amendment that says no public dollars go to provide abortions, but this amendment is worse. It says that women with their own money, buying insurance from a private health insurance company in this new exchange we're creating could not have abortion coverage.

SCHAKOWSKY (04:13): We're not going back to back alleys and hangars, we're just not. So, if we had to and I don't think we will, we would defeat the bill. We have the votes.


There are a lot of myths perpetuated by abortion supporters, and the back-alley coat hanger scare tactic has been successfully used for many years. But Schakowsky's (who would probably like you to forget about her extensive ties to Rod Blagojevich) really out on a limb here.

And yet, she's not alone: the city of Berkeley is poised to pull the same stunt.
