President Obama is against this Abortion Amendment
Advertisements [?]
In an interview with ABC News Monday, President Obama objected to language in the just-passed House health care bill that would strictly limit the purchasing of insurance policies that cover abortion.
Telling ABC that "this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill," the president said the bill should be revised so that "we're not changing the status quo."

"I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test," he said, "that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions, but, on the other hand, that we're not restricting women's insurance choices."
