Sebelius: No abortion money in health overhaul

[September 14, 2009]  WASHINGTON (AP) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says the president supports language in health overhaul legislation that explicitly prohibits money for abortions.

Sebelius says President Barack Obama has made it clear that his health care goals do not include using public money to pay for abortions.

The health secretary says Obama will include wording in overhaul legislation that explicitly prohibits the practice.

Sebelius was interviewed on ABC's "This Week."
