Let the ammendment fail. The entire health care bill will be dead if abortion is funded in the house version. The average American citizen does not want to be paying for the butchery.
Did the amendment fail?
Go to your neighbor, demand a few hundred dollars from him, and tell him you want it for a friends abortion. Do you think he would give it to you?
This bill is forcing you, and your neighbor, to do just that. Some scank gets herself knocked up, and the rest of the nation is punished for it. The baby gets it even worse. It gets dismembered while still alive - for "free"!
