So..does it..or doesn't it....
How Abortion Coverage Could Affect Health-Care Reform - TIME
Quote:
The President also routinely mentions the issue of abortion. "You've heard that this is all going to mean government funding of abortion," Obama said recently in a call to religious leaders. "Not true."
But this last statement, while technically correct, does not tell the whole story. The health-care reform proposed by House Democrats, if enacted, would in fact mark a significant change in the Federal Government's role in the financing of abortions. "It would be a dramatic shift," says Representative Bart Stupak, a Michigan Democrat who has vowed to oppose the bill because of how it would affect abortion. Stupak says dozens of House Democrats may join him in opposing a final health-care compromise unless the abortion language is changed, presenting a clear challenge to Democratic vote counters that could imperil a party-line vote.

It would really help the Dems and the Admin if they could explain, clearly and finally, what the hell they are attempting to do.....where is Phil Collins and "Land of Confusion" when you need it
I also love the part in the article where the Fed Govt says they will keep separate pots of money for funding... excuse me...with SS right now that whole concept of the "Fed Govt" understanding where money comes from is just hilarious.
