No! Abortion coverage should not be excluded from the proposed federal health care legislation. Republican politicians are still doing everything they can do to rile up the public and turn citizens against health care reform. Taxpayers already support abortions and whether this support arrives on the state level (as it currently does) or the federal level makes no difference. Taxpayer dollars pay for unwanted pregnancies.

Although current health care legislation already excludes direct financial aid for abortions, politicians who "say" they oppose abortion are still using the subject as a tool to rile Americans up and turn people against instituting a health care system that will actually help citizens - not hurt them.

These "just say no" politicians now "act" as if they are so concerned that companies with any kind of financial dealings with institutions who perform abortions such as supplying tools and equipment to institutions that perform abortions. Their "strong convictions" that any type of financial interactions between company "A" and company "B" when either of those institutions performs abortions, should exempt relative companies from participating in government funded health care.

This means that if company "A" performs x-rays for company "B" and company "B" performs abortions, then company "A" should be disqualified from helping patients under new healthcare guidelines even though company "A" does not perform abortions.

It makes no sense that institutions should be exempt for federal funds because they indirectly support, sponsor, or perform abortions. So what shall we do? Put more businesses out of business because they want to help females in ways the super conservatives who think they speak for everyone in the country are against - or at least - act as though they are against abortion. Gotta maintain that platform - right?

It is just too funny how the right wing fibbers and adulterers talk so super conservatively even as they show their true colors to the public and people still idolize them as if they are next to god. The only thing those opposed to health care legislation's inclusion of abortion coverage are truly concerned about is the depth of their deep pockets and how much special interest funds they can fit in said pockets.

If their supporters - not citizen constituents but big business supporters - continue to tell them to oppose the healthcare bill, opposing the bill is exactly what the party of "no" will do.

Meanwhile, as these holier
