Obama Says Lawmakers Should Not Become Sidetracked By Abortion Debate In Health Reform

In an interview with CBS" "Evening News" on Tuesday, President Obama said that lawmakers should "not get distracted by the abortion debate" as they weigh health reform legislation. When asked by "Evening News" anchor Katie Couric if he would "favor a government option that would cover abortions," Obama replied that what he thinks is "important, at this stage, is not trying to micro-manage what benefits are covered." He added that his "main focus is making sure that people have the options of high-quality care at the lowest possible price." Obama also said, "As you know, I"m pro-choice. But I think we also have the tradition of, in this town, historically, of not financing abortions as part of government-funded health care." He continued that "[r]ather than wade into that issue at this point, I think it"s appropriate for us to figure out how to just deliver on the cost savings, and not get distracted by the abortion debate at this station" (Couric, "Evening News," CBS, 7/21).
