U.S. House passes "Protect Life Act"

[OODA_Loop]

Every abortion today is capex reduction for the 53% taxpayer of the future.

 

[Si modo]

I agree. No public money for abortions.

In all cases?

For all elective abortions, yup.

WASHINGTON -- After an emotional floor debate, the House of Representatives on Thursday passed the so-called Protect Life Act, which prohibits women from buying health insurance plans that cover abortion under the Affordable Care Act and makes it legal for hospitals to deny abortions to pregnant women with life-threatening conditions.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), a proponent of the bill, told voters last week that its purpose is "to ensure that no taxpayer dollars flow to health care plans that cover abortion and no health care worker has to participate in abortions against their will."

In fact, the Affordable Care Act already keeps public dollars separate from the private insurance payments that cover abortion. A federal judge ruled in August that the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List had to stop making the claim on its website that "Obamacare" subsidizes abortions because the assertion is false.

Protect Life Act Passes House: Congress Passes Controversial Anti-Abortion Bill

At about 4 months you can really feel them rocking inside you. Cripes, it's so wild because all of a sudden you can see their little feet against your belly wall. I don't even know how to describe it.

You literally can see their tiny tiny feet against your belly's skin.

I want every women to be able to get a day after pill if they don't want a child. I know. I am strange. A wierd combo of Ted Nugent and the Pope. I just want no more abortions. For those that think that they are clinically discussing this, if you have ever had a baby in your belly I don't get you.

Don't hand me the coat hanger crap. Don't lie to me that way. I would personally agree to allow a condom (never works) or a morning after pill.But please oh please stop abortion.

I agree. No public money for abortions.

Ok ... but that's not what this is about. Allow me to quote the important part.

prohibits women from buying health insurance plans that cover abortion under the Affordable Care Act

Meaning, a woman could have zero intentions of ever having an abortion, but she would still not be allowed to buy a plan she wants, because of what the plan offers.

Anti-choice is taking on a whole new meaning.

So says the HuffPo, but that's not what the bill says:

3/17/2011--Reported to House amended, Part I. Protect Life Act - Amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to prohibit federal funds from being to used to cover any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion services. (Currently, federal funds cannot be used for abortion services and plans receiving federal funds must keep federal funds segregated from any funds for abortion services.) Requires any qualified health benefit plan offered through an Exchange that includes coverage for abortions to also offer a qualified health benefit plan through the Exchange that is identical in every respect except that it does not cover abortions. Prohibits a federal agency or program and any state or local government that receives federal financial assistance under PPACA from requiring any health plan created or regulated under PPACA to discriminate against any institutional or individual health care entity based on the entity's refusal to undergo training in the performance of induced abortions, require or provide such training, or refer for such training. Creates a cause of action for any violations of the abortion provisions of PPACA. Gives federal courts jurisdiction to prevent and redress actual or threatened violations of such provisions by issuing any form of legal or equitable relief, including injunctions and orders preventing the disbursement of all or a portion of federal financial assistance until the prohibited conduct has ceased. Gives standing to institute an action to affected health care entities and the Attorney General. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to designate the Director of the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to receive and investigate complaints alleging a violation of PPACA abortion provisions. Requires the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to ensure that no multistate qualified health plan offered in an Exchange provides coverage of abortion services.​

HR 358: Protect Life Act, Summary

I bolded the pertinent part.

It looks like the HuffPo is telling porkie pies.

Bah! Stupid HuffPo!

Thanks for the info! After reading the text, I actually have no problem with this bill. It doesn't seem to attack women as much as I first thought.

You wanted healthcare I wanted abortion off the table.
If you want the government out of your womb get rid of government control of your healthcare until then stfu

 

[mudwhistle]

I agree that it won't pass the Senate or Obama. However, it just boggles my mind that the House just keeps hammering on women's rights. They haven't done one damn thing to create jobs or anything else for ordinary Americans.

Obama's doing his "Tax The Rich" thing and the Repugs are doing their anti-abortion thing.

It's called bringing in your base.

I seriously doubt they think it's going to pass.

I'd bet money they know it won't pass. That's why it's all the more a waste of time and hypocritical. Am I the only one who remembers Boehner talking about fixing legislation so it would pass or it's a waste of time?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeze.....don't talk about hypocrisy. Obama and the Dems wrote the book on hypocrisy when it comes to patronizing their base. They don't even try to hide it.

I don't think there is a special interest group out there that the Dems haven't tried to grease simply because they think they can help elect them. They don't care how much tax-payer money it costs, they're gonna make a point of using them as a wedge-issue against the GOP.

Remember Black History Month?
Hispanic History Month?
Breast-cancer Awareness Month?

Blah, blah, blah.

 

[Wry Catcher]

So if I knew how to post a poll, I would ask if your daughter, wife, sister needed an abortion to save her life, would you still support this bill?

Perhaps you missed this part:

"and makes it legal for hospitals to deny abortions to pregnant women with life-threatening conditions. "

Read first - post fauxtrage second....

Huh? The bill makes it LEGAL for a hospital to deny an abortion to a women with a life-threatening condition?

Yes. There are many hospitals owned an operated by the Church.

It is strictly against Roman Catholic doctrine to do abortions. The government has no business telling someone they have to do something completely against their religion. And, the Catholic Church will close down a hospital before they will do abortions.

So, which option is better for society?

You must be a male.

At two months you feel the stirring. At three months I have no idea but all of a sudden they start to rock.

At 4 months you are talking party time because the soul that is in you starts really going for it.

Trust me by 9 months they are doing dances to Madonna/Queen/ and freaking Elton John. Holy toledo. You try to keep a plate on your belly at 9 months and we are talking the kid inside you is kicking it off.

And trust me. You can't wait to deliver.

Sorry hun.....pro-choice is just a nice way of saying "Politics is more important than Life".

Choice is simply "Choosing life or death for a unborn child".

It needs to be called what it is.

It's like "Diversity" is actually "Favoritism" for special classes.

 

[Lakhota]

I always find it interesting that anti-choice zealots never express any concern for the mother. In fact, RARELY is the word "mother" ever mentioned in their rabid rants.

she's female. as am i.

and thanks for the descriptions... totally and completely unnecessary and irrelevant to the unconstitutional trash proposed by the rightwingnut loons in the House.

now i wish all you pretend 'small government' types would keep government out of women's bodies and out of the bedroom.

for the record... i LOVED being pregnant. but it was MY choice... not some rightwingnut loon's.

That’s just it: they didn’t do anything, no abortions will be ‘stopped,’ Federal funding for abortion has been prohibited since 1976. And forcing a woman experiencing an emergency with regard to her pregnancy to go to another hospital exposes her to needless risk.

 

[Lakhota]

Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. However, since the anti-choicers don't have the political muscle to overturn it, they zealously try to undermine it through the back door. Righties only respect laws they agree with - all others don't apply to them.
