Advocacy Groups Target Campaigns Of Anti-Choice Democrats Who Voted For Health Reform
July 26th, 2010
Some advocacy groups that traditionally oppose abortion rights but were divided on health care reform are now trying to influence the re-election of Democrats, who oppose abortion rights and voted for the health care reform law (PL 111-148), Politico reports. Both sides are targeting fundraising and voter mobilization efforts in the re-election campaigns of anti-choice Democrats who voted for the legislation after President Obama signed an executive order reaffirming that no federal funds would be used for abortion services under the law. Many antiabortion-rights groups maintain that the law “create[s] a loophole” that would allow federal funding of abortion, while others argue that the health care reform law clearly prohibits federal funding of abortion, Politico reports.
