Claim: August traditionally may be a slow news month in the nation's capital, but the bogus claims have continued to fly in the final full week of meteorological summer.

An article from Aug. 21 addresses abortion funding in H.R. 3200, the House version of the health care overhaul backed by the White House. We found that President Obama is stretching when he claims that the bill won't provide any abortion funding.
