Government Funded Abortion Clinics?
Townhall ^ | August 20, 2009 | Carol Platt Liebau

Posted on 08/21/2009 8:33:57 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

To follow up on Greg's post below, LifeNews is reporting that Title V of HR 3200, Subtitle B, called "School-Based Health Clinics" in the House "health reform bill" would provide for government funded "health clinics" staffed by Planned Parenthood in or near public schools.

In other words, federally-funded abortion clinics to make sure high school girls aren't, in the President's words, "punished with a baby."

Planned Parenthood isn't specifically designated as a clinic sponsor, of course.

Notwithstanding, PP's presidentess was at a "special meeting" at the white house recently.

"Yesterday I attended a special meeting at the White House to discuss women and health insurance reform," Richards writes. "The basic message was that we've got to remind folks why we became so dedicated to reforming the health care system — or more particularly, the health insurance system — in the first place," she continues.

“Elections have consequences”

Not for Planned Parenthood, who receives federal funding when the Republicans are in control and when the Dems are in control.

Correct. And btw, high school "health" clinics referring pregant teens to PP for abortion is a long time fact of life in some districts.

The GOP tends to fig-leaf it by designating the funds to “non abortion” services, but even when PP doesn’t outright cheat, that just ends up freeing undesignated monies received by PP to go to abortions.

So many high schools are screamingly lefty. They’d never think of sending the girl to “abortion alternatives” or working out some way she can keep the baby and still finish her education.

I have been listening to the rhetoric on this from the White House over the last couple weeks, especially Obama denying that HR3200 will mandate coverage for abortion.

In the very next breath, he spoke about providing "Reproductive Health Services" in the public option, and if someone wants to keep their private insurance, those plans will be required to provide "Reproductive Health Services" coverage or they will be dropped from the ranks of "approved private insurers" who will supposedly be "allowed" to compete with the public option.

Okay. What the heck does "Reproductive Health Services" encompass? Fertility options? Treatment for diseases of the reproductive systems? Coverage for treatment of STD's?

So, I Googled "What constitutes Reproductive health services" and this is what Google gave back as the first hits:

Abortion advocates have sought that for a long time.

Elections have consequences.

So do primaries, like the ones that made a very non-charismatic very unprincipled boring counterproductive John McCain the Republican nominee.
