The House has voted to bar federal subsidies to Americans signing up for insurance plans under President Barack Obama's health care law if the policies cover abortion.
The vote was 227-188 on Tuesday. The bill stands no chance in the Democratic-led Senate and the White House has threatened a veto in any event.
Majority Republicans in the House insisted that the measure was necessary to permanently bar any taxpayer dollars for abortion as implementation of the 4-year-old law moves ahead.

I don't think the government needs to be involved in ethical decisions like this but don't ask me to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteGood...now REPEAL the darn mess
ReplyDeleteI like to know names of those 188 crooks, who thinks It's Ok for us, the TAXPAYERS, to be PAYING FOR SOMEONE's ABORTION, WTH, are you kidding me? How many of those 188 are Democ-Rats?
ReplyDeleteI agree. Something like this gives the unemployed reason for not working. I don't want my hard earned money to be taxed to pay for abortions.

ReplyDeletehow does this have anything to do with being unemployed?
Means nothing, House passes irrelevant bills almost daily. They will never become law.
