More Government Moralizing from the Social Right

[Guerilla poster]

One bill, the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” would eliminate tax breaks for private employers who provide health coverage if their plans offer abortion services, and would forbid women who use a flexible spending plan to use pre-tax dollars for abortions. Those restrictions would go well beyond current law prohibiting the use of federal money for abortion services.

Another bill, sponsored by Mr. Pitts, addresses the health care overhaul head-on by prohibiting Americans who receive insurance through state exchanges from purchasing abortion coverage, even with their own money. The bill is essentially a resurrection of a provision in the House version of the health care law but was not in the Senate version

It is all about saving money, I guess.

Damn Republicans with their damn moralizing, trying to pass laws to stop people from killing kids

I'm socially "right" and I would like to eliminate tax breaks for all health care plans. Does that make me moralizing as well?

They shouldnt have put the cells there in the first place. Now that they have, wait it out and remove the cells without killing anyone.

Oh no! You found what you believe to be an inconsistency! Might as well eliminate all governments everywhere if that's your standard.

the healthcare industry should organize its own government and tell the existing government what to do
