"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."

"Section 213 describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions UNDER THE GOVERNMENT-RUN PLAN (emphasis added). The Commissioner must charge at a minimum $1 per enrollee per month."
Personal choice decisions should not be paid for by mandated taxes on all.

(B) ABORTIONS FOR WHICH PUBLIC FUNDING IS ALLOWED
The services described in this subparagraph are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted, based on the law as in effect as of the date that is 6 months before the beginning of the plan year involved.
They don’t want us to know what is in that damn
‘health care’ bill! That’s why they are rushing it!
[Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan]
If it is up to Sebelius, abortions will be allowed up until the day the baby is born for any reason.
This bill is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Please remember to call senators and representatives TODAY!
actually when Barbara Boxer was asked at what time a doctor no longer had the right to abort a baby she replied “once it goes home with its parents”
Could the bill, if passed and signed into law, be brought before the Supreme Court somehow?
So a 'doctor' could stick a knife in the back of the baby's head on the way out of the hospital door and not be charged with murder according to Boxer?!!!
This is like having nuts run the asylum!
AARP just endorsed the bill...
How in touch with their members they are. They also endorsed Hillary care against the wishes of their members. Of course, the spouse of the head of AARP was on Hillary's task force, so it just made sense in their minds.
Let's face it, the AARP exists so that they can collect membership dues from old people and then use that money to lobby for whatever the demoncRATS want to pass in congress.
Hey, don’t forget that they sponsor, at member cost, a nice cruise once a year. What more can you ask for?
(And he promised that illegals wouldn't be covered either; and he promised that our taxes wouldn't go up one dime; and he promised that we could keep the health care plan we currently have; and he promised that . . .)
Only the liberals could come up with something so evil it would pit the elderly vs. the unborn.
"I am not answering these questions!"
I'm sure it could, but at that point I don't think it would do any good. I do not have much faith in our political structure just now.....
Wheres the catholic outrage? Especially the ones that voted for zero.
Well, they will regret it if it passes. Up to 45% of the doctors in this nation will turn in their white jackets if this thing passes. Good luck AARP members trying to find a new doc after yours is driven out of business by Big Brother. Try and get decent treatment then idiots!
(P.S. I small sampling of the above. Someone I'm in contact with knows for a fact that their surgeon (the BEST one in the area they are in) has said he will close shop and move out of the country to a more friendly environment for his practice should this thing pass. Then, Americans will be the ones leaving the country to get any good care IF they have the money. I'm sure that's what many members of Congress plan on doing should this POC pass. They could give a rat's behind about the serfs.)
Doesn’t seem to be the right video link...
