We’re very excited to hear President Obama’s speech on health-care reform tonight, and will watch to see if he’ll mention how health-reform opponents are using abortion to derail health-care reform. In the meantime, we’ll keep doing our part to get out the truth about abortion and health-care reform.

Then in today’s
Washington Post, columnist Ruth Marcus
gives examples of anti-choice fear-mongering, and tells her readers, “Don’t believe it.” She also points out that it “would be perfectly fine with some of the critics” if the new health-care system would tell “women who purchase insurance through the exchanges entirely with their own money that they cannot obtain abortion coverage,” while “Others are happy to seize on any argument, however misleading, that might derail the larger enterprise.” For more on health-care lies around abortion,
