Brazile: Stupak Amendment: ‘Outlaws Abortion’

What really needs to be added by amendment is that any group that claims non profit organization will no longer be allowed to sell insurance of any kind you think aarp will back that.

Hmmmmmm! If abortion wasn’t in the bill as Obama said why did it have to be removed? If it wasn’t really in the bill why was PPA infuriated by its removal?
I consider lawyer, congressional and presidential doublespeak in the same category as lies.
But the real crisis is the deficit and debt which NOT ONE SEEMS WILLING TO ADDRESS!

Illegal because its not paid for with public funds? That’s left logic for you.

I think the people who support abortion rights should get together and form an abortion insurance if they think this is such a big deal. I’m pro-choice, however, we shouldn’t be having so many abortions that we can’t afford to pay them ourselves.

Brazile’s twisted logic gives great insight into what the far left is really looking to accomplish with “health care reform”, which is a complete government takeover of the health care system. Otherwise, she’d have no cause to say that prohibiting government funds from paying for abortion is tantamount to outlawing the procedure itself. She is accidentally acknowledging what Dems are trying to keep hush-hush, which is that they are essentially planning on the government being the sole administrator of health insurance plans once passage of the bill occurs.
The far left has shown us their cards– now it’s up to the rest of us, who still believe in the freedoms guaranteed us by the U.S. Constitution, to resist the usurping of individual freedoms that the left is trying to spring on us.
This isn’t about health care. It’s about power. With the left, it always is.

I don’t follow the elective procedure argument at all. Pregnancy is a condition in the strictest definition of the word (like all of terms used in healthcare) You seek treatment for pregnancy. Abortions can be performed for psycho therapeutic reasons as well as for reasons of risk to physical health of mother or child. Erections are equally “elective” and I don’t care to cover those either. Total Knee Replacement is also elective if you follow that logic! This is a giant step backwards!

Ms. B. Always provides grist for my mill, but I prefer her to some other liberal commentators, she is usually predictable, yet thoughtful.
Having said that, she ignores the reality of HCR not passing if abortions were to be covered. That glorious 5 vote victory would have become a 20-25 vote loss for Speaker Pelosi & President Obama (who has now firmly lashed himself to this specific bill) We can finally have an informed debate as the Senate prepares to take HCR up).

Insurance companies will continue to pay for abortions because abortions save insurance companies money. If is far cheaper to pay for an abortion than pay for the delivery of a baby and decades of health care.

being a republican , and a pro-lifer, I can personally thank all the democrats who are taking the responsibility of paying for abortions out of the tax payers hands and the insurance company’s hands; I imagine the horrific numbers of infanticide that have been taking place for all these years will surely decrease. God willing.

“But even further amazement that some can vote for them yet consider themselves Christians!” Straight from a ignoramus mindset. Stupak is a Christian, pro-life as are many of the democrats. The party of death, it would seem, is the one that reigned over 75% of the abortions in this country-the party of Bush.
The Bishops support the health care bill from the House as it is now written so they side with the dems and despite some of their horrendous mistakes, they are Christian.

Illegal?
Not for the rich or those able to pay for their own insurance.
For everyone else, not illegal, but you have to foot the whole bill yourself. Good luck.

Notice how seniors love their SOCIALIST MEDICARE ….dump Medicare and give the seniors a few hundred extra buck a month and tell them to “pay for it themselves” after all that is what they are telling the rest of the conuntry when it comes to universal heathcare coverage ….. THEM LET THEM WHINE ABOUT INSURANCE COMPANIES …..

When did it get to be a fact in our country that we each get to say for what our own tax dollars can pay? I don’t believe in a lot that goes on, and I am sure I could find mobs of people to object along with with me on some things on which taxes are spent. So, do we get to say that taxes cannot be used on whatever issue with which we don’t agree? Abortion opponents are bullies who force their opinion on the rest of us. They have rights that no one else has. They control tax moneys without going through the legal channels of getting laws changed. The ACLU should get involved in this. Whatever one thinks of abortion, this is WRONG!!

Republicans, please stop calling yourself pro-life and Christian as you are neither and never have been. Many might be considered pro-fetus but once the fetus is born Republicans basically abandon the now living person. Pro-family? Name one piece of legislation the Republicans have passed that is pro-family? They are against living wage, they are against granting employee sick leave, they are against increased vacation time, they are against universal health care, they are against sound environmental laws, and they are especially against worker protections. So how did they become annointed the pro-life, pro-family party? Their track record shows a true disdain for both.
As for being Christian, I doubt Jesus would really agree with the lies and hate the spews forth from the mouths of Republican politicians, commentators, and their base. Do these people actually read the Bible or just rely on charletans to interprete it for them?The Prophets for Profit, along with the Fox New propagandists, who have prostituted themselves for fame and fortune would not find acceptance by Christ. Those fine people that form the Republican base and proclaim themselves so self-righteous would actually find Jesus praying for them instead of with them.
The Republican Party is a farce and their do-nothing, know-nothing political strategy is only quickening our destruction and our descent into 2nd or 2rd world status. Republican ignorance may be bliss to many; but it holds no future. Either have some 21st century ideas or step out of the way and let people who do govern.

Ms. Brazile’s suggestion is simply outlandish, and doesn’t even deserve to be published. The Stupak amendment simply keeps abortion coverage out of the new government insurance exchange, which is a good thing. It does not outlaw abortions or abortion coverage. Those who want such coverage are free to purchase it, but without any government assistance.

What I find most fascinating was the seating last week, to George’s Right (representing the Conservatives) was, who else? George Will, no surprise there. To George’s Left (Representing the Liberals) was who else? Cooke Roberts, no surprise there either. Directly opposite George (representing the Moderate, and Independent Voters, at least according to Mr. Stephanopoulos & ABC News) was Donna Brazille! As someone who is a registered Independent myself, does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

The Stupak Amendment makes it illegal for ant PRIVATE insurance company on the exchange to offer abortion services to anybody. If you are using private money, you still can’t get it covered. So this is more than just banning public money from being spent on it.
Obama has his nerve selling out women. I wish Hillary had won!

Well-stated by Donna Brazile.
