Democrats wrestle with abortion on health bill (Reuters)

Go to the following to see the Republican plan:

t
allows for better coverage for the poor but still allows for America to still have the best healthcare in the world. The plan in the above link keeps the inefficient government (DMV, medicaire, and SS anyone?) from getting in the way of the best healthcare system the world has ever known and makes it even better by providing more for the poor and disadvantaged. Give this plan a look you greedy ultralibs who really don't care about the poor. America is watching you and if you want to keep your jobs you better look at the better solution to anything you have proposed.

Stating that private insurance options will still be available is a deceptive ploy by Obama to push socialized medicine through. If Obama gets this through start watching your relatives and eventually you die unnecessarily early because they/you can't get immediate care. This is no scare tactic because its already happening in England among other countries. Obama is lying. Go and look at "Video: The Public Plan Deception" at http://hotair.com/archives/2009/06/12/video-the-
public-plan-deception/
and see actual video of Barack Obama himself so you can see for yourself that Obama is trying to ram this terrible plan through via deception.

There's no telling what is in that damned bill. I do know this, if there is any chance my tax dollars will bank roll abortions for anyone - I'll refuse to pay taxes and they can incarcerate my happy ass. I believe government should stay out people's decisions, but they damned sure better not force one I personally disagree with on me and try to make me pay for it.

Abortion is LEGAL. Why shouldn't we fund it? I don't like MY tax dollars going to fund illegal wars. That's the way it works here. You think only your tax dollars can be selective? Better movie elsewhere. You religious zealots are a tiny minority.

Wrong again Mark. Mass murder is unacceptable to certain democrats and they will NOT back mandated abortion Mark my words.

Progressive / Democrat / Communists = Tyranny

Having a "sex change" is legal, too, so why not let taxpayers pay for it?

I'm against abortion funding. Why should my tax dollars be used to fund procedures that people seek because they didn't restrain themselves? How fair is that to people like me who practice self-control and not burden others? People must face the consequences of their actions and not be bailed-out of them. It should be clear now how easily the state would self-destruct if it were full of socialist liberals.

Promiscuous people might as well not restrain themselves, because taxpayer money will be used to kill the kids they conceive, and blindly fund the treatment of the STDs they recklessly spread. I'm against funding medically unnecessary procedures like abortion and sex change. Most of all, I'm against funding the killing of the unborn. And, yes, I was against the war, too.

Male masturbation is mass abortion too.

I'm just saying....It's not a human until it breaths air on it's own.

This world over populated as it is ....why make any more suffer in poverty just because the parents decided to f-around.

IDK.....Consensually speaking....Pregnancy is %100 a woman's fault %100 of the time.

But they will never fess up and own to it being the truth.
Lifes pretty much a f'n ride for American females

Buzz-
Yours is the most unlearned comment I have heard in a long time.

By your definition, anyone on life support in a hospital is no longer human. A baby in a woman's belly reacts to sounds, has a heartbeat, and is capable of surviving outside the womb if far enough along.

How a person feels about abortion is an individual decision. Just be honest enough to admit that it is what it is. Don't try to pretend it is not a person.

BTW- have you asked a poor person lately if they would have rather been aborted?

Why is it that everyone has to demand everything without compromise? If this is the stumbling block, don't you suppose there will be many organizations willing to fill the gap? Get SOMETHING passed, then address the missing aspects later.

I BELEIVE ABORTION IS A SIN I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE WILL SAY THAT WHEN CONCEIVED ITS A LIVING CHILD AND I SAY ITS MURDER TO ABORT AND MANY WILL KNOW THIS WHEN OUR ( LORD RETURNS BACK HERE ON EARTH SOMEDAY)

They will have no issue in getting a paragraph in there stating that this bill will not cover abortions. Of course yet another olive branch for a conservative cause goes ignored by the neocons. They simply want this fiscally conservative and morally correct bill to fail, THEY are the terrorists because their stubborness is costing us a 9/11 every month, 45,000 people a year are dying and they just watch while lining their pockets with their lobbyist payoffs. F*ck them, and good riddance.

I hope that when they need pills like Tamiflu, you know, the ones scientists make, that they cut funding for...I hope they have to PRAY their illness away, cant the right be at least a little consistant???

The Republican bill provides funding for abortions. Must not be that big of an issue.

Abortion is legal and has to to be in the bill. Tax mney should only be used in cases of rape, insest or to save the life of the mother. No taxpayer money should be used for for on demand abortion just for birth control. The CDC just released a study that put the United States of America 30th in the world for infant mortality due to mainly for a lack of health care. 1in 8 babes die in the U.S. compaired to 1 in 18 for most of the world. What makes you think we dont need health reform?

Brenda-
1 in 8 US babies are premature, 1 in 8 don't die. (denverpost.com)

Also from the same report:
"Poor access to prenatal care, maternal obesity and smoking, too-early cesarean sections and induced labor and fertility treatments are among the reasons for preterm births, experts said".

More spin from your liberal machine. We are our own worst enemy. Our lifestyles and choices are the biggest factor in US infant mortality, not our healthcare system.
