From today’s Drudge Report. Minority Leader Boehner indicates that “Speaker Pelosi’s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium”:
On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.
What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.”
But why should this surprise any of us?
According to the misguided reasoning of Roe v. Wade or Planned Parenthood v. Casey, abortion is a right. This “right” stems from the manufactured “right to privacy” that is found exactly nowhere in the U.S. Constitution (a conversation for another day). Nevertheless, to many, it’s there and thus recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court.
So, just who is shocked that a contrived civil right would get government protection (i.e., funding)? Once the government becomes the health care provider, how will it be able to deny financial assistance for a civil right?
Anyone who believes that abortion won’t eventually become a part of government run health care needs to start paying attention; you’re kidding yourself.

Forced to pay for, and forced to participate in, the taking of the most vulnerable and innocent among us. The Left has nothing like a true moral conscience, so this is entirely predictable. Just wait for what they have in mind for grandma.

Liberalism is a Disease!!!! Liberalism is a Disease! They abort thousands of babies a year.... then voted for later term abortion which a baby if aborted at nine months you can just throw it in the hospital linen closet and let the baby die, but they are concerned about the death rate of babies to pass this Obamination of a healthcare bill.
Does this make any sense to any normal thinking person??? God help us!
