I would not waste my time on this bill. It is the shell bill that will be gutted and replaced in the House Rules committee. That will be the real bill.
I’m confused about that. I know that’s what Cantor said on Sunday, but I did a search in this bill on the word abortion and it’s not there. The original House bill that was passed last year had an amendment drafted by Stupak forbidding federal payments for abortion services, so the word abortion should be in this bill if it’s just the old House bill, right?
