MIAMI, January 31, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A** second federal judge** has ruled that President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, which subsidizes abortions, is unconstitutional.

“This has been a difficult decision to reach, and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications,” Vison writes. “At a time when there is virtually* unanimous agreement ***that health care reform is needed in this country, it is hard to invalidate and strike down a **statute **titled ‘The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.’”

Today’s* historic*** ruling that Obamacare is** unconstitutional** comes as no surprise to those who have** opposed the pro-abortion law** from its inception. While all Americans are in need of** quality** and** affordable health care, that need should not be valued over the lives of innocent preborn Americans,”** said Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director of Students for Life and co-founder of the Stop the Abortion Mandate Coalition (STAM).

Judge Vinson stuck down the entire law. No part of it is constitutional and no part of it may be enforced.

If this succeeds the inevitable appeal, and the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, then Obamacare is dead.

Let us all pray for this.

Nor should it be valued over the lives and liberties of any person.

So then it goes back to the private insurance companies to pay for the abortions? There would be nothing to stop it. Doesn’t make sense. If anything, add a public option to guarantee that abortions aren’t funded. Sorry, I’m not jumping on the repeal-without-replace bandwagon.

If only that had been part of the law.
