Obama to sign promised executive order on abortion

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order Wednesday reaffirming long-standing restrictions on federal funding of abortion.

The order is part of an agreement with Democratic abortion opponents in the House that brought them over to Obama’s side and pushed the health care bill over the top.

Obama has invited members of the Democrats’ anti-abortion bloc, including its leader, Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, to the private afternoon signing at the White House.
