The health care bill would make it nearly impossible for women to exercise their right to choose

1. The Stupak Amendment in the house (or the similar Nelson amendment in the senate) would make it nearly impossible for women using government health-care to exercise their given right to choose. This amendment says that specifically separate funds must be established to pay for abortion. Whatever subsidiary the government pays to insure the people, if the insurance company wants to offer the women the right to chose, they must clearly use funds from a separate pool to pay for those services. In other words, they must collect two separate checks from their insurers each month and write two separate checks to the doctors who perform abortion services. The "easy way out" would be for the insurance companies not to support abortion and have to deal with it.
