It’s In The Bill: Taxpayer-Funded Abortions

If you were to ask a pro-abortion rights Democrat during an election year what their position on the controversial issue was, they’d probably say “I believe in a woman’s right to choose, but I think the number of abortions should be reduced,” or some variation of that. That little caveat at the end is meant to hide their true, radical abortion views.
The problem is, they do everything in their power to increase the numbers of abortions by making abortions easier to get (even for minors) and easier to pay for.
I’m always reminded of the pro-abortion rights slogan “Keep your laws off my body,” “Keep the government out of my bedroom,” or something stupid like that. So, it amuses me to no end that these pseudo-libertarian baby killers have no problem with the government’s involvement with abortion when it comes to paying for them.
Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life – not end it.
Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that. On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.
What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.” The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account – and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services.
So, not only does the House version of Obamacare include taxpayer-funded abortions, the government has the power to determine “when abortion is allowed.” So, you’ve got the government back in the bedroom, and you got the laws ”controlling” your body, etc. etc.
I think even the most ardent pro-abortion rights individual ought to be able to see that the government (read: taxpayers) should not be funding abortions. All it does is put the government in control of the very things the pro-abortion crowd claims to be against.

as an indie, I support a woman’s right to chose…w/in limits.
but I do NOT support taxpayer funded abortions excepting for the health of the mother.
Much to your chagrin, abortions are a legal medical option and should be included in any health care system. Don’t try to use the government to shove your religious beliefs down our throats.
The way it is set up, if an individual wants coverage for abortion, they pay an extra, separate premium. That is why the money is set aside in a separate account. It keeps it segregated from all other funding, so that service is paid entirely be premiums. Also, from what I’ve read while at least one plan in the exchange must offer abortion coverage for those willing to pay extra, there must also be at least one plan that does not offer any abortion coverage.

Neo, Abortion is not murder, never was. I’m certainly not a sodomite and you know nothing of my religious beliefs. Do you always assume you know so much based on so little?
aztec
by GODS law abortion IS murder, if you do not believe that you are NO Christian, but a person deceived by the spirit of the age.
Neo, get off of it. Your belief is that abortion is murder, but that is not the law of the land. While I believe in choice, I also believe that restrictions on choice should be left to the states. I look at abortion law as a state’s right area, not something the federal government should decide on.
As for government funding – no way. If you are making the choice to have an abortion, it should not be funded by tax dollars because so many disagree with this choice.
BTW – I have a problem with ANY MAN having a say in this choice – until you guys are the ones going thru the pregnancy, you don’t get to make the decision!!!!!!!!
Neo, That’s your interpretation of God’s law. When did he put you in charge?
if you do not believe that you are NO Christian
Yes, they still pay taxes even if they are not Christian. I support their spiritual decisions.

There are many things that are legal and yet an affront to God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:19-21 “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Exodus 20:13 – “You shall not murder.”

““Neo, get off of it. Your belief is that abortion is murder, but that is not the law of the land””
Really? It seems the courts will say otherwise.
Then why are many people serving life sentences or are on death row convicted FOR TWO COUNTS OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE when they murdered a mother and HER UNBORN CHILD.
Mark Peterson comes to mind. Look them up, they are all over the country. If you are too lazy to do so, then you are an ignorant fool who chooses to stay that way.

- until you guys are the ones going thru the pregnancy, you don’t get to make the decision!!!!!!!!
REALLY??
It takes two to tango, seems you “girls” have NO problem making a guy PAY child support for 18-21 years, but have no say with KILLING the CHILD.
KEEP YOUR legs closed and end the problem.
liberalism is a mental disorder.
tired
when they murdered a mother and HER UNBORN CHILD.
BINGO,
funny little fact to get into the way eh?
(scott peterson)
hey neo,
thanks for the correction scott not mark peterson.
notice the moochers’ response……
what?
I can’t hear anything but deathly silence.
Mark,
I assume you have private health care insurance now. Do you hold back a portion of that to display your displeasure with insurance companies that pay for abortion?
Can I get a big refund for cost of the Iraq War to which I was opposed?
the only thing you get is ignored cam1…gee…such is the life of a stooge eh?
js,
I went to Mass last week and heard people talking about this very thing. It made me wonder why the Catholic Church would take such a position on this topic but ignore those other government policies with which it disagrees.
cam,
I’m unaware of any private insurer who pays for elective abortion.
Mark,
How about 87% of private insurers?
http://www.guttmacher.org/media/inthenews/2009/07/22/index.html
So Mark,
Sounds like you are paying for it now?
kmg,
Guttmacher is a fanatic, pro-abortion group and if you actually read their wording, you can see how utterly bogus their assertion is.
Do you mean this wording?
For some reason part of it pasted twice.
Id say that the figures are hiding something.
It would be very strange indeed if the number of health insurance programs that covered abortions rose the fast in 1 year. A 2008 study showed only 48% of the plans provide abortion. This actually could be a more accurate indication as well.
Certainly, a clear deception on your studies part is that medically necessary abortions do in fact include D&C from spontaneous abortions (miscarriage) that are perfectly natural, and no pro-life element ever objected to those natural and medically necessary treatments, but in fact, the D&C, while considered medically necessary abortions by the study, are not abortions at all, but only medial treatment after an natural abortion/miscarriage has occured. The truth is that abortions for incest and rape represent less than 1% of all elective abortions and omitted even though they are not statistically significant, which is another deception by omission. About 50% of women who have miscarriage’s need D&C.

forgot to close the tag
Whether it is 48% or 87%, it is clear that it is a common practice for health insurers to cover offer coverage for abortion. In fact, I believe Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Nevada offers coeverage for RU-486.
Do you even know what your provider covers, Mark?
The reality is this stooge…if health care providers were required to insure that the recipients were fully aware that they supported abortions by putting that information in plain language…the heath care horizen would be substantially affected…
but as far as BCBS goes, im sure you will find the following exclusion listed in every one of thier policies”
“Services, drugs, or supplies related to abortions, except when the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or when the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest;”
so no, your pro-death stance isnt covered there…
oi, and get this;
RU-486 is not recommended by its manufacturers for use for abortion!!
what makes you think that BCBS would?
So you are in favor of RU-486. Good to know.
nice try stooge
