Washington,
DC (LifeNews.com) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius contradicted herself on abortion funding in the Senate health
care bill in a Sunday interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Sebelius applauded the Senate language before and talked about mandatory
abortion fees, but now she claims there is no funding.
Sebelius
also appeared to contradict herself within the interview, saying at
one point that abortion funding is a part of the government-run health
care bill.
Sebelius
was asked whether the Senate bill would be fixed to top the massive
abortion funding it contains and other
pro-abortion problems.
"There
is no federal money paying for abortions," President Barack Obama's
top health care spokeswoman maintained. "That's just not my statement,
it is what, you know, a legal analyst who has looked at the Senate
bill, it's what the fact checkers who look at the statements say."
Yet,
when she spoke with ABC's "This Week" program yesterday,
she said "Yes, abortion services are provided" under the
Senate health care bill.
She
tried to qualify her answer by adding, "people will pay out of
their own pockets, in both the Senate and the House, but they do it
in slightly different ways."
But
in an interview on December 21 with Morra Aarons-Mele of the pro-abortion
web site BlogHer, Sebelius praised the
Senate language that funds abortions and talked about how everyone
would be forced to pay for them.
