John Boehner(R) - 8th District of Ohio, released this statement on Oct 30, 2009,
Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it.Like most conservatives Boehner pretends to care about human life by getting upset by the decisions a woman makes about her own body (he thinks the government should make those decisions for every woman), but clearly he and and the far right conservative movement could care less about actual human life. They've tried every lie and distortion to derail health care reform. Boehner and his party in fact want to keep the status quo, one under which an American dies every 12 minutes because of lack of health care. Even Boehner's intepretation ( shouldn't a Congressman have decent reading skills to hold office) of health care reform that deals with pregnancy related medical procedures is another distortion. Integrity is apparently not one of John's virtues.
