***********************************************************************************

There are 36 Democrats on this Committee and 23 Republicans.
Since these now “House Democrats” are not named, it is difficult to charge hypocrisy. But the roll call votes would show not only the final vote on H.R. 3200, but on the many amendments that were passed , including the one I sited above. In addition, many other amendments that the Republicans offered and voted down by this Committee. Representative Joe Pitts (R-PA) offered an Amendment to Prohibit a Federal mandate for abortion coverage and this was also voted down. I would love to know who these “House Democrats” are.

Should read, “House Democratic leaders are still trying to figure out exactly how to limit public discussion about their desire to use taxpayer funds to kill even more unborn children.”

Otherwise, it should be treated as any other elective procedure and not covered by any insurance.
