Democrats whipping on abortion compromise to save health bill
The Hill ^ | 11/3/09 | Mike Soraghan

Democratic House leaders have developed a compromise they hope will resolve an intra-caucus dispute about whether the health bill allows tax dollars to subsidize abortions, and they’re surveying abortion-rights opponents in the caucus to gauge support.

The language is not yet publicly available, but lawmakers familiar with it say it strengthens an existing provision intended to prevent abortion from getting any federal dollars.

Nonsense. No reason to bother having it in the bill, it's too much baggage.

Once passed, and you have "Universal" health insurance...it's not possible for courts to allow federal funding for some things and not abortions....they'll write the law in after the fact.

“Nonsense”? lulz?

Tell that to the Dems who support the various bills because abortion is included.

Yeah and what they propose as an amendment is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, empty headlines to give the ‘appearance’ abortions won’t be paid for by our dollars against our will.

THEY LIE.
