re: #207 Walter L. Newton
When you say “insane crap that the Senate added with regard to abortion” you mean the compromise, right? Do you want more restrictions on federal funding of abortions or less?
What they’re restricting, as I understand it, is it jeopardizes health insurance coverage of abortions in any way.
“An analysis at the George Washington University Medical Center concluded the Stupak–Pitts Amendment would have the effect of eliminating coverage of medically indicated abortions for all women, not just those receiving subsidies or participating in the exchange. The analysis also says the Amendment’s restrictions would hinder the insurance industry’s ability to market supplemental coverage for abortions, and impact the current ability of individual states to provide such supplemental coverage to Medicaid recipients.”
Unsurprisingly, I am against the Stupak-Pitts amendment. If that’s the hoops we have to jump through to get the bill through, fine, but it sucks.
