Despite the assurances of the Obama administration, there is no real conscience protection in ObamaCare. If a taxpayer doesn&#8217;t want to be forced to pay for someone else&#8217;s abortion, then too bad! If they don&#8217;t know which plans cover abortion, and which ones don&#8217;t, then there is literally no way for someone to ensure that they aren&#8217;t funding abortions. That isn&#8217;t freedom of choice. It&#8217;s forcing taxpayers to fund abortion, regardless of their personal convictions.<\/p>\n<p>And all Kathleen Sebelius can say now is that she &#8220;thinks&#8221; she can rectify the issue.
