A leading women's group called on senators on Saturday to defeat its healthcare reform bill.

The leader of the National Organization for Women (NOW) excoriated the language in the health bill curtailing federal support for insurance plan covering abortions, which was inserted to win the 60th vote of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).

"The so-called health care reform bill now before the Senate, with the addition of Majority Leader Harry Reid's Manager's Amendment, amounts to a health insurance bill for half the population and a sweeping anti-abortion law for the rest of us," NOW President Terry O'Neill said in a statement.

It’s not enough to these cold shrews that abortion is legal. They want my money to support the barbarism.

I don’t see why the NOW is whining. The bill doesn’t pay for men’s abortions either. HAHAHAHA

This is a ruse to make the Senate version appear moderate.

Their objection is a smokescreen designed to delude pro-lifers into accepting the bill.

Over at Democratic Underground, they seem almost unanimously against the Senate bill, partly over lack of abortion coverage, and partly because of mandated insurance purchase.

So we have a Senate bill that BOTH the Right AND the Left oppose? And the Democrat Party STILL wants to pass it?
