In this episode of Life Matters, Commissioner Brian Johnston interviews attorney Sheila Green of the California Prolife Council. Attorney Green had filed a California Freedom of Information Act request with the state Department of Health Care Services. She had requested an explanation of monitoring abortion in California and the system by which abortions are paid for and conditions under which these abortions will be paid for.

In a stunning admission which the state has never given heretofore, the Department of Health Care Services admitted it pays for all abortions, at all times, without question of gestational age - in other words, throughout all nine months of pregnancy. In addition, there need not be any medically indicated reason, nothing wrong with the mother - nothing wrong with a child, the abortion is simply paid for without question.

Additionally, there seems to be very little oversight over the actual abortion procedures

The significance of this admission is great. The average Californian may often call themselves pro-choice when polled, but when asked about late-term abortion or circumstances under which abortion should be legal or government paid for, they do not approve of unlimited abortion at all times, for any reason at all. The Gallup polling organization, Marist Polling, and the Los Angeles Times, have consistently shown that even in California, those who consider themselves pro-choice are not in agreement with the way abortions are being paid for and promoted in California.

It is the intentional hiding of the facts and misleading by an abortion sympathetic media that allows this deceitful late-term killing to continue unexamined.
