Doug Kmiec doesn't believe the National Right to Life Comittee that the Freedom of Choice Act would invalidate restrictions on public funding of abortion, along with most other state abortion restrictions. Does he believe the National Organization for Women, which supports the legislation, when it says so? Kmiec also argues that Obama supports a stricter health exception than under current law, a position for which there is no basis besides a statement to a Christian publication that Obama essentially said was his (erroneous) interpretation of current law. And the Freedom of Choice Act also codifies the existing Doe v. Bolton definition of health, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America (pdf).
