Dealing with prolife lies about the Senate language of the healthcare legislation
I called the Jeff Crouere show on WGSO 990 AM on Thursday morning to correct him about taxpayer dollars going to pay for abortions. The Senate language does not do this (no matter how many prolife politicians or groups want to claim otherwise).
Here is how you deal with their false claims.
A) Each area that has exchanges is required to have one plan that does not include abortion coverage. Anyone who doesn’t want to have a plan that covers abortion is free to choose that plan.
B) People who choose to purchase a plan via an exchange that does provide abortion will be doing so knowing that there was a non abortion providing plan. These plans are required to segregate the funds paid for with private dollars and only cover abortion services with those privately contributed funds. So even if abortions take place, they will be guaranteed to not be paid for with taxpayer dollars.
So no taxes go towards paying for abortion and no person will be required to put private money into a plan that covers abortions because they can always buy a plan that doesn’t cover abortions.
Anyone who is prolife who tries to tell you that tax dollars will pay for abortions is either a liar or uninformed.
