Obama On Jobs, Health Care, and Ft. Hood – ABC News (11/09/09):

“I laid out a very simple principle, which is this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill,” Obama said. “And we’re not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions.”

Saying the bill cannot change the status quo regarding the ban on federally funded abortions, the president said, “There are strong feelings on both sides” about an amendment passed Saturday and added to the legislation, “and what that tells me is that there needs to be some more work before we get to the point where we’re not changing the status quo.”

I thought you people voted for Obama because the status quo was not acceptable. Except for Wall Street. And state secrets. And executive power. And now access to abortions.

I don’t know if this country can take all this change at the same time.
