Taxpayer Funded Abortions - A Travis-ty

In light of Rep. Childers’ strong opposition to repealing the president’s healthcare takeover, the Nunnelee campaign is highlighting various provisions of the bill and asking why the congressman wants them to remain law.

According to Travis Childers himself, Obamacare uses taxpayer money to fund abortions:

“Congressman Travis Childers says he will vote ‘NO’ on the Health Care Reform bill. In a press release this afternoon, the Democrat from Booneville says while he supports reform, the current bill...includes federal funding of abortion.” (Mel Carlock, “Childers to vote ‘No’ on Health Care Bill,” WTVA.com, 3/18/10)

And Congressman Travis Childers wants to keep it that way:

“Republican candidates for north Mississippi's U.S. House seat pledge to support attempts to repeal the new health care law. The man one of them will oppose on the Nov. 2 general election ballot terms their promises short-sighted and pure politics. ‘Calls to repeal the bill are politically motivated,’ U.S. Rep. Travis Childers said Wednesday. ‘I voted against the bill. It's time we move forward in working to make it better.’” (Patsy Brumfield, “GOP's House candidates push repeal of new health care law,” Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 3/26/10)
