Women’s Access to Abortion Care Traded Away

Statement of Terry O’Neill, NOW President

December 19, 2009

The so-called health care reform bill now before the Senate, with the addition of Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Manager’s Amendment, amounts to a health insurance bill for half the population and a sweeping anti-abortion law for the rest of us. And by the way, it’s the rest of us who voted the current leadership into both houses of Congress.

The National Organization for Women is outraged that Senate leadership would cave in to Sen. Ben Nelson, offering a compromise that amounts to a Stupak-like ban on insurance coverage for abortion care. Right-wing ideologues like Nelson and the Catholic Bishops may not understand this, but abortion is health care. And health care reform is not true reform if it denies women coverage for the full range of reproductive health services.

2. Center Right HCIR takes care of the "Right" on Cutural Issues..

This is a Center Right Bill. Not a Little Right of Center.

3. 40 states have shall-issue (or easier) CCW laws.

That is 80 Senators from gun friendly states. Do you expect gun right not to be taken care of?

Besides, it is a privacy issue. It isn't any medical board's business how many guns I may or may not have, as long as they are legal.

4. What the fuck does a health care bill have to do with gun rights?

Some people should keep their radical crusades where they belong.
