Abortion Issue May Kill Healthcare Bill

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091108/ap_on_...

A health overhaul bill pending in the Senate also bars federal funding for abortion, but the language is less stringent. Discrepancies between the House and Senate measures would have to be reconciled before any final bill is passed.

"The amendment would bar the new government insurance plan from covering abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother is in danger."

i wonder, how will you prove an instance of rape? particularly if taken to court and the jury says "nope, the man is innocent." if the woman was indeed raped, and the insurance company says "sorry, the courts say you weren't," what then? just wondering how it's supposed to work out.

There are more gray areas then black and white. The biggest problem is the fact that this is a direct assault on women's choice by the assholes on the hill!

I don't know if you caught this yet or not, but it's worth a watch.
