Why Democratic Majorities Don't Equal Pro-Choice Majorities

  • 3 Comments
  • by: irkedbyzealots

With details about the health care reform legislation being drafted in DC changing on a daily basis, it’s sometimes easy to forget that not all interest groups labeled as “progressive” consider the publicized direction a win. Consider, for example, reproductive health care advocates who have been put on notice by certain House Democrats that abortion must be explicitly *excluded* from the not-yet-created list of covered benefits recommended by a not-yet-established benefits advisory committee. Write-up courtesy “Daily Women’s Health Policy Report” published by the National Partnership for Women & Families. n/t

  1. Like is this in the article?

    been put on notice by certain House Democrats that abortion must be explicitly excluded from the not-yet-created list of covered benefits recommended by a not-yet-established benefits advisory committee.

     

    or is this from somewhere else?  (I clearly didn’t read it…but) a few more details and relative quotes pulled out from the article (or other sources) so that the story is told a little more completely here, and you have a spot on the Front Page…  

  2. here’s the link to a write-up from U.S. News & World Report that includes the letter sent by 19 anti-choice Democrats calling for the explicit exclusion of abortion. Note that the letter not only calls for reaffirmation that federal funds will not cover abortion — which has been the law of the land for more than 30 years since it was codified as the Hyde Amendment — but also that any government-defined health care plan must exclude abortion.
