The bill seems to prohibit Federal Funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and danger of death to the mother - still unacceptable.

Also includes this nugget:

"The Secretary would ensure that in each state exchange, at least one plan provides coverage of abortions beyond those for which Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services are permitted.

In other words, the fed gov't is going to require every state - regardless of its laws - to provide insurance that covers abortion-on-demand.

FAIL.

The Secretary would also ensure that in each state exchange, at least one plan does not provide coverage of abortions beyond those for which Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services are permitted."

The gov't will require an option that limits coverage to the above-mentioned conditions (which are non-starters anyway).

So, anyway you cut it, this bill, by requiring states to offer abortion-on-demand insurance, is indirectly mandating abortion coverage with your taxes. States can still prohibit abortion if they so choose, but since all 50 states allow it, it's guaranteed that your taxes will finance an innocent child's death.

Yep. That is what it does. And it does that deceptively, rather than straightforwardly, which makes me really, really leery of the rest of it.
