The healthcare reform bill puts taxpayers in the position of paying for abortions.
The House version of H.R. 3200 would drastically change long-standing federal policy, according to Susan Muskett, senior legislative counsel at the National Right to Life Committee. "It creates a nationwide insurance plan run by the federal government that is explicitly authorized to cover all abortions," she explains. "The federal government would be running a nationwide abortion plan." (Related article) Muskett says apparently there would be no abortions barred. "Abortionists would submit bills to the federal insurance plan and receive checks from the federal agency," she adds. "The federal government would be running a national program for providing abortion on demand." According to Muskett, Planned Parenthood officials have said they are hopeful the bill passes because they want to be a recipient of the funds -- even though the majority of voters have stated in polls that they are against the use of tax dollars to provide abortions.
