Abortion Rights Advocates "Outraged" at Obama White House Over Health Coverage

Take it to court!! This is clearly supporting a religious view that abortion is a sin, and the government is clearly promoting a religious belief. By the way, abortion is so unimportant, it is not even mentioned in the Bible. What Genesis does say is that when Adam was fully formed, God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Fake Fundamentalists can take some obscure verse and twist it however they want, but the Bible teaches that it is only after taking that first breath after birth, that one becomes a human.

This story, unknown to many people, may prove to be the falling of the Berlin Wall of the culture wars.

This is a smoke screen. Abortion will still be "on the table."

I back President Obama on this.I am so relived to know he is taking this corse of action. I voted for him, but amost changed my mind due to his view on abortion. The rupublicans stand is they are against abortion,but they had the power for eight years ,and did nothing to change it.Horay! for the president!!!

As usual, the group that wants to control a woman's body goes nutso at any mention someone might actually be able to control their own body. If they would read the article, it is not about government funded abortions, although they ought to, it is about even being able to pay for a rider on their policy themselves for abortions. A direct quote from the article they didn't bother to read before going ballastic over nothing...." These women will be locked out from abortion coverage, even if they pay for it out of their own pockets."

I personally am offended by people who think abortions should be covered. Actually, I am totally offended by the very IDEA of Obamacare. It has already cost me my some-what decent health insurance. In January, my rates went up 40% (THANK you, ANTHEM in Colorado.) They told me this was a DIRECT result of the coming Obamacare. I could not afford the premiums so I had to switch to lower premiums and even worse coverage. But I digress. Here's a thought. PARENTS, teach your KIDS. KIDS, sex is NOT for children, or even teenagers in most cases. Sex is NOT the most important activity in life, even though our culture seems to think it is. Abstinence (i.e. SELF CONTROL, something that is sadly lacking in our society these days) means FAR LESS poor, unwanted little babies.

Would'nt these high risk cases be considered endangering the health of the mother and therefore be covered under said insurance? Is it just me or does it seem like thats what it said previously?

HCR was not about abortion. Stupak was wrong for making a non-issue an issue. The Hyde Amendment would have done what it has been doing for nearly 30 years: Prohibiting federal money from being used to fund abortions. There was no need for an EO to be signed.

Ita crime and you should be ashamed t hat you have gotten so politically correct that only opinions that go along with your story in a more than favorable way are the only ones seen..Someone should take you to task on that

I am pro-choice, but do not think it is fair to mandate that those who do not believe in abortion to pay for the choices of others - whether that choice was stupid (having unprotected sex) or unplanned (contraceptive failed). If someone wants to pay for the abortions of others, perhaps those who cannot afford it, donate to an organization.
