The ramifications of this legislation are horrendous," Palin said in a speech to about 800 people.Palin was in town for an "Evening of Hope," an event sponsored by Heroic Media, a faith-based group that uses media to connect women with unplanned pregnancies to resource centers.Heroic Media has been in the Dallas area since May and is seeking to bring down the area's rising rate of abortions.The former Alaska governor urged the audience to hold elected officials accountable, particularly those in Congress who "caved at the last minute" as the health care law was approved.She said that President Barack Obama's executive order prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortion after the health care bill was passed was nonbinding. She added that the administration later made federal funds available for high-risk insurance pools in some states that allow elective abortions."The biggest advance of the abortion industry in America has been the passage of Obamacare," she said.[...]After her speech, Palin joined a panel discussion that included Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Attorney General Greg Abbott, Dallas lawyer Kelly Shackelford and Dallas minister Stephen Broden.
