Despite the groundswell of voices adamantly against using taxpayer money to fund abortions, the House still hasn’t included a specific provision in their version of socialized medicine that would be necessary to exclude it.  And if the rat-pack progressives have their way, it won’t be:

On Thursday, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., acknowledged that after the bill is passed, it’s likely an advisory panel then will decide exactly what benefits will be included.

“I have been a proponent of low-income women being able to access funds for services and my hope is that we move in that direction,” she said. “I know that others are opposed to that. That’s why there hasn’t been any language put into the bill. It will be when the bill is passed and when we take a look at what benefit levels are.”

Personally, I don’t know of a single bill that has come out of Congress during my lifetime (at least) or any government program that has gotten any better after it’s been passed unless it’s been outright repealed.  This issue will be no different.
