Democratic Party Split Over Abortion Endangers Health Care Bill
From MSNBC:
While House leaders are moving toward a vote on health-care legislation by the end of the week, enough Democrats are threatening to oppose the measure over the issue of abortion to create a question about its passage.
House leaders were still negotiating Monday with the bloc of Democrats concerned about abortion provisions in the legislation, saying that they could lead to public funding of the procedure. After an evening meeting of top House Democrats, Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (Md.) said, “We are making progress,” but added that they had not reached an agreement.
The outcome of those talks could be crucial in deciding the fate of the health-care bill. Democrats need the vast majority of their caucus to back the bill, since nearly all congressional Republicans have said they will oppose the legislation.

$1.3 Trillion for a Health care face lift of the medicare that we are going to be paying off, since it is added to the $13 trillion deficit. If it is a true universal health care then yes it should be included. Due to political backing from lobbyist and interest groups, i doubt it.
i dont believe abortion is right in a moral sense but i believe it cannot be taken away from the people that do believe abortion is ok. but in this day and age i believe women that get raped and doesn’t want the child could get a abortion. in other instances, women that are too lazy or too s**tty to take responsibility should not have abortions. but in my 2 opinion of statements with having a abortion for a raped victim versus a person that doesn’t wants a child, could be certain story-makings if this way this way. so i feel abortion is here accepted already for a while and adapted, that there cannot be an illegalization. because our government already planned this so you can have debates now and ideas of how its wrong. talk to the government of depopulation. talk to the killers and the women that are too lazy to take care of there children. no morals in america i see, just a bunch of women acting s**tty.
I don’t think it will and that is one issue I agree with the repubs. We got to much black on black killings and all abortion is a legal way to get rid of us.
I know about the private hc… im talkin about the “welfare health care” (hey that rhymes) from the government
Private healthcare covers it.
Which leads me to wonder… does health care cover abortion?
