Health reform shouldn't mess with abortion rights
The anti-choice Stupak amendment that was added to the House health care bill makes insurance coverage for abortion virtually unavailable for women purchasing insurance plans through the newly created health insurance exchange, even if they're using their own money to buy coverage.
Conservatives shouldn't be hijacking health care to legislate on reproductive rights. We need to focus on health care, and the millions of Americans who need real reform, and leave abortion where it ought to be - a private decision between a woman and her doctor.
Outlawing coverage for a legal, medical procedure is ridiculous.
