The Democratic National Committee released a rapid response to House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), who claimed that the Senate Democratic health care bill would result in Americans paying a “monthly abortion premium.”

The response cites various media outlets that have fact-checked and/or debunked the claim that the Democratic bill would pay for abortions: “With such clear evidence to the contrary, we’d like to believe that this is the last time we’ll hear this scare-tactic from Boehner and the Party of NO… but since all Republicans have to offer are more lies, we’re not counting on it.”
