Obama Vetoes Bill to De-Fund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Caught Selling Aborted Baby Parts
President Barack Obama has vetoed the reconciliation bill that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, which was caught selling the body parts of aborted babies. Hearings have exposed how the abortion company likely violated federal laws to sell the body parts.
The measure also repealed the abortion-funding Obamacare legislation and Obama cited that as the primary reason for vetoing the overall bill. In a statement, Obama said Obamacare “is working,” slamming the bill because it would “reverse the significant progress we have made in improving health care in America.”
“The Affordable Care Act includes a set of fairer rules and stronger consumer protections that have made health care coverage more affordable, more attainable, and more patient centered,” Obama added. “Because of the harm this bill would cause to the health and financial security of millions of Americans, it has earned my veto.”
