65 Democrats threw women under the bus in the name of Health Care Reform
Hot off the Congressional record, here are the names of the 65 democrats who thought it made sense to throw women under the proverbial Health Care Reform bus for the sake of getting the bill into conference.
These Democrats voted for the Stupak-Pitts amendment which would:
- Prohibit individuals who receive the affordability tax credits from purchasing a private insurance plan that covers abortion, despite the fact that a majority of health insurance plans currently cover abortion.
- Result in a de facto ban on private insurance companies providing abortion coverage in the health insurance exchange, since the vast majority of participants would receive affordability tax credits.
- Prohibit the public option from providing abortion care, despite the fact that it would be funded through private premium dollars.
The names of these champions of women's rights are found after the jump:
