Health Care and Abortion
A bill was recently passed which blocked the use of federal subsidies for insurance that covers elective abortions. Many advocates from both sides of the topic are calling this vote "the biggest turning point in the battle over the procedure since the ban on so called partial birth abortions six years ago". This restriction on abortion coverage seems to now only make it harder on the senate side, however for all those who agree with this bill are now relieved due to not making it easier for those having abortions. Insurance plans are now only more complicated due to what they can and cannot cover when dealing with abortions. The bishops were strongly in support of the Health Care but not if it had anything to do with providing for abortions. I seem to agree with the Bishops considering that it is something that goes against what the church says. I believe that if an abortion is wanted, it should not be something to be have done without paying a single cent.
