abortion funding

Apex Mayor Keith Weatherly claims to have received a call from a citizen who told him that abortion care was covered in the town’s health plan. According to WRAL’s highly sensationalistic coverage, Mayor Weatherly said he didn’t believe it was true until he looked into it.

Ahhh, Stupak and fellow Dems and Republicans want to force women using the public option to buy a supplemental plan to cover abortions even though the Capps Amendment preserves/protects the Hyde language which basically says no federal dollars will be used to pay for abortions.

Rep. Capps said current federal language is maintained. Calls this a devastating amendment.

At some point I thought they would vote for this, but I think they are waiting until after the debate on the Republican's crappy substitute.

Update
This sucks. However, this is how they got enough votes to pass the healthcare bill. They sold out women. Nice.
