in fact congressman driehaus agreed with us.atholic church, the bishops agreed with us, the entire pro life movement, john boehner. our position is unless there's an amendment to this bill, which has been tried six times in the last couple of sessions of congress, then there will be abortion funding under the health care law an in fact that turns out to be. with expanded afrtability subsidies, with the expanded medicaid on the state level, and with funds that subsidize the plans of congressmen and their staffs. it is definitely happening. how are we not paying for it? this is all one plan now. we're looking at a very different system. we're not looking at lots of different funders, lots of different insurers, we're looking at one health care system that you an i and everybody listening is manufactured and now is overseeing. so when you see like kaiser -- the kaiser foundation has said that over a million new women will be on the rolls and will be receiving abortion coverage, who's paying for it? we're paying for it. >> but under

driehaus, is no longer in congress with drew the complaint against susan b.ut they felt it was important to go all the way to the supreme court. it is trying to convince justices that system is unconstitutional that could wind up silencing political speech. the lower courts found that since driehaus dropped complaint. there is no issue ripe for review. that is the winning argument. plaintiffs say the underlying issues are still in play and courts should settle this once and for all. they shouldn't have to wait until another complaint is filed against them. we wait until the justices think. a decision due by indof june. jon: a lot of decisions coming out of this court on political speech. shannon bream, thank you. jenna: kpc in michigan boasts one of the longest-serving employees in the fried chicken chain. mary lou osborn has been cooking up the chrispy fried chicken for 52 years. she even got to meet the colonel once. saying. >> he is wonderful man. he never smoked, never drank and he was great. jenna: sounds good. she likes working and her customers. she sa

it was supposed to read shame on steve driehaus.y problem was he described himself as pro life. one of several democratic numbers who tied their support to president obama taking specific action to keep abortion coverage out. >> the president will release a sweeping executive order. grounded in current law. based in congressional intent. clarifying for all that this health bill doesn't provide public funds for abortion. >> when the susan b. anthony went to get the billboard up drieit is haus filed a complaint because there is a law there against deliberate lies in a political campaign. the bill board never went up because the owner wouldn't put it up once driehaus threatened legal action so the susan b. anthony list says it is unconstitutional. they have the support of the aclu. this is a broader question not just about ohio but truth in political campaigns. do candidates hs v a first amendment right to lie if they do how can the public find out what is true and what isn't. if they don't who makes the call whether it's true or false

against then-congressman steve driehaus. the statement was not true. aca does not funnel federal money for abortion and a separate federal law forbids it. congressman's campaign filed a complaint with the ohio elect n elections commission which they with withdrew. the supreme court focused on whether they can challenge the anti-lying law now that the race is over. the case could ultimately decide to whether the government has the power to jail citizens for nyong'o lying about politic thousands. justice breyer asked -- the constitution says the state does not have the right to abridge my speech. if i save things under this ohio law there is a risk i will be hauled up before a commission and could be punished. why isn't that the end of the matter? joining me jeff stone professor of lauf w at university of chic, an msnbc analyst. welcome to you both. professor, when we look at the history of speech in america, we think of it as a place where we usually want to keep the government out. many would be surprised to learn in ohio. you could get up to six month

. >> what's significant about the dr driehaus act, my interpretation and my reading of the law says that what happened. in that sense all of a sudden you're arguing against my interpretation. >> there's a technicality, that little asterisk. >> if a plan does not offer abortion coverage or three exceptions there is no conflict and federal subsidies may be applied to the plan in full. if the plan does include abortion coverage, subsidies may go toward the rest of the plan except those services if a woman elects to have an abortion, the cost of that procedure is separate from the rest of her premium and she is fully responsible. so saying that taxpayers fund abortions through obamacare, that seems to me to be cat gorically false based on the letter of obamacare -- >> it's your interpretation though. >> that's the devil is in the details. >> how you implement it and execute it. how you fashioned the law is not how it's regulated and implemented and how it's governed in the various states that apply it -- >> let me push back. we're not seeing instances of it being implemented in a way where a
