President Ruling Out 'Government-Funded' Abortions?

By Jacqueline L. Salmon

One of the main objections many conservative Christian group have to health-care reform is their contention that it would allow the government to fund abortions.

Here's President Barack Obama, from a recent interview with Katie Couric: "I'm pro-choice, but I think we also have the tradition in this town, historically, of not financing abortions as part of government-funded health care ," he said. "My main focus is making sure that people have options of high-quality care at the lowest possible price."

Sounds like he's ruling it out.
