I complained the other night about congresscritters tacking an amendment onto the health-care bill barring public dollars from being used for abortions. Well, John Aravosis at Americablog makes a good point:
Basically, the amendment stops any government money from funding insurance plans that cover abortions. The twisted logic being that any money connected to any insurance company covering abortions is “abortion money,” i.e., profits earned from “killing babies.” We can’t have the government touching that.
So I sure hope that no pro-life members of Congress are accepting political donations from any insurance companies that cover abortions. Because if they are accepting such donations, they’re accepting profits that came from “killing little babies.”
I eagerly await the tidal wave of campaign contributions being returned from these congresscritters, just as I eagerly await the commencement of porcine aviation from my southernmost orifice.
And here’s another thought. Why do you suppose private insurers cover abortion (and contraception, which some “pro-life” types are also trying to get banned)? It certainly isn’t out of the goodness of their hearts, folks. They do it because both contraception and abortion are cheaper AND safer than pregnancy and childbirth.
