Wow, so in rdean's world women can't exist without publicly funded abortion mills. Good to know how rderp really feels about women.
There is no publicly funded abortion...........
“No taxpayer funding for abortion.” It’s an all-too-recognizable battle cry from the anti-choice community, and one that has forced reproductive health advocates to operate on the defensive.
Planned Parenthood constantly needs to reiterate that it doesn’t use federal dollars to fund abortion procedures, and clings to the fact that abortion represents “
just three percent” of its total health services. An amendment forced into the Affordable Care Act
prevents federal subsidies from covering abortion directly, and has
given abortion opponents an opportunity to enact state-level legislation that restricts insurance coverage of the procedure even further.
At nearly every turn, pro-choice lawmakers must reassure their conservative colleagues that they’re working to ensure that taxpayer dollars can’t be funneled toward abortion — and it’s
still not enough for Republicans in Congress who continue pushing to make the distinctions even clearer.
