Media continue to misrepresent abortion provisions in health reform bill

Media figures continue to falsely claim that a proposed anti-abortion amendment to the House health care reform bill would only have the effect of prohibiting government money from being used to pay for abortions, echoing a myth previously advanced about a proposed amendment to a prior version of that legislation. In fact, language in the current House bill already segregates federal money so it cannot be used directly to fund abortions, and the proposed amendment would effectively ban abortion coverage for some who have it now.

The rest.

What happens when the "right to life" is denied to more than just embryos? We go back to the days of slavery, Nazism, and eugenics. Read my posts on "Numan" and see where this thinking can take us! Everyone under the age of 12 is non-human!...
