Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama continues saying he thinks pro-life advocates are lying about the abortion funding, coverage, and rationing components of the health care bills Congress is considering.

Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address that pro-life advocates are making "phony claims" about the legislation.

Obama said: "Some are also saying that coverage for abortions would be mandated under reform. Also false. When it comes to the current ban on using tax dollars for abortions, nothing will change under reform."
