Mr. Stupak has just changed all that. On Sunday, the president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, sent out an action alert asking supporters to tell Mr. Obama to “make good” on his “promise to put reproductive health care at the center of [his] health care reform plan.” She should know: She was standing next to Candidate Obama in 2007 when he declared that “reproductive care is essential care, it is basic care, so it is at the center and at the heart of the plan that I propose.”

Unfortunately for Ms. Richards, during his recent appearance before a joint session of Congress, Mr. Obama promised something different: “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions.”
