Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag was a guest on FOX News Sunday.
Orszag refused to rule out the possibility that ObamaCare would include taxpayer money being used to fund abortions.
From FOX News:
Office of Budget and Management Chief Peter Orszag told "FOX News Sunday" he is not ready to say whether abortion services would be part of a final package Congress is considering to provide taxpayer-funded health care to about a third of the nation's 50 million uninsured. Lawmakers are considering a package that could cost as much as $1.5 trillion over 10 years for health care.
...Already, the Obama administration has demonstrated its support for federal funding of abortion. The president rescinded the Mexico City Policy on Jan. 23, the day after the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. The policy had been in place to prevent U.S. funding being used for abortion services in clinics abroad.
The House last week voted to eliminate a ban on local funds being used for abortions in Washington, D.C., which gets a substantial portion of its budget from the federal government.
The health care reform bill is still playing out in debate in the House and Senate, with Obama pushing passage by August. GOP lawmakers say they are unwilling to rush a bill through Congress, but Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., said abortion won't be the issue to hold up the measure.
"No matter what your views are on abortion, you shouldn't ask people to use their tax dollars if they think that abortion is taking a life -- to use their tax dollars for those purpose -- for that purpose," Gregg said on "FOX News Sunday."

CHRIS WALLACE:Are you prepared to say that in a government public-funded, taxpayer-funded public health insurance plan, that no taxpayer money will go to pay for abortions?
PETER ORSZAG: Uh, I, I think that that will wind up being part of the debate. I am not prepared to say explicitly that right now. It's obviously a controversial issue. And, uh, it's one of the questions that is playing out in this debate.
WALLACE: So you're not prepared to rule it out.
ORSZAG: I'm not prepared to rule it out.
Orszag is acting like a weasel.
"I'm not prepared to rule it out."
Translation: NO.
Why not give that straight answer? Why not have the spine to tell the truth?
Of course, the Imperial President Obama will demand that the taxpayers fund abortions.
Why would Obama have a problem with paying for the killing of the unborn with money confiscated by the government from individuals?
Obama is tax crazy. He's big government. He's the most radical pro-abortion this nation has ever had.
If this disastrous health care plan becomes law, of course Obama will use taxpayer dollars to murder the unborn.
There is no doubt.
