The House has passed a health care reform bill. Wonderful!
I notice there was all sorts of late-hour wrangling to make sure that abortion wouldn’t be covered by the public option. Well, of course not. No reason why a completely legal medical procedure should be covered, especially since the people who can’t afford it are the same ones least likely to be able to afford a baby.
I really, really hope any sort of health care reform includes free birth control for them as wants it. If you won’t cover termination of pregnancy, you better do everything you can to prevent that pregnancy to begin with.

The house has passed a health care bill.
There will be a revolt, one way or another.

I read a bit of the posting you linked to in your comment here. I’m not quite clear as to what freedoms you think you’re losing with health care reform?

The sad thing is, the people who oppose the funding of abortion are generally the same ones who oppose sex education and birth control.
