Pro-Abortion Provisions in Obama-Backed Health Care Bills
Both of the health care bills backed by the Obama White House H.R. 3200 in the House, and the 'Affordable Health Choices Act' (unnumbered) in the Senate create two big new federal programs that would cover abortion for any reason:
(1) a national health insurance program that would be run entirely by the federal government, called the "public plan" or "public option,' and
(2) a huge new program to provide subsidies to help tens of millions of Americans buy health insurance.
*Both bills will result in government funding of abortion. As the independent FactCheck.org reported in an August 21, 2009, analysis.
*Abortion is explicitly mentioned 17 times in the current House bill. Within the House Bill is the The Capps Amendment. A federal agency will collect the premium and will send the abortionists payment checks drawn on a federal Treasury account.
*As Time magazine accurately reported (August 24), "The problem is that all those who sign up for the public option would have to pay into the account for abortion coverage."
*Both bills provide funds that would not be subject to the Hyde Amendment, which is a year-to-year provision that currently prevents federal funding of abortions in the Medicaid program.
As the Associated Press accurately reported in its August 5, 2009, analysis, "A law called the Hyde amendment applies the [abortion] restrictions to Medicaid . . . [But] The health overhaul would create a stream of federal funding not covered by the restrictions."
These Pro-Abortion Provisions in Obama-Backed Health Care Bills are a radical departure from the status quo.* Under the Senate bill, there is an additional problem: Both the "public plan" and, in time, most private insurance plans, would be required to cover all "essential benefits."
Under numerous past federal court decisions, such broad categories will include elective abortion unless Congress adds an explicit exclusion for Abortion.
Under the Senate bill, many private health plans would be required to pay for and to provide local access to abortion, and many state laws that regulate abortion could be invalidated.
