WASHINGTON — As if it were not complicated enough, the debate over health care in Congress is becoming a battlefield in the fight over abortion.
Abortion opponents in both the House and the Senate are seeking to block the millions of middle- and lower-income people who might receive federal insurance subsidies to help them buy health coverage from using the money on plans that cover abortion. And the abortion opponents are getting enough support from moderate Democrats that both sides say the outcome is too close to call. Opponents of abortion cite as precedent a 30-year-old ban on the use of taxpayer money to pay for elective abortions.

I think the debate is whether or not the taxpayer is forced to PAY for abortions...

The libs cant help themselves, they are living in a bubble, reading the NYT and watching MSNBC. Fiddling while Rome burns For the love of G*d Nancy have the vote and let's bury this ugly b*tch. I read the news, see the dismal polls, see the machinations by the delusional like Obama and don't know to be more frightened that they are that tone deaf or that they have a Hitler n the Bunker mentality.

Funny how they run to any available camera/microphone to say the bill doesn’t cover abortions or illegals. However, when amendments are introduced to specifically omit those provisions, the libs fight it tooth and nail. Now, THAT’S transparency.

I`m ok with that only if Obama agrees to undergo an abortion in the 5200th week, as Anne Coulter has suggested.
