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.
