Abortion amendment in USA

18 Nov 2009


A restriction on abortion coverage was added in November 7th, 2009 to the health care bill. The provision would block the use of federal subsidies for insurance that covers elective abortions. The Obama White House is refusing to weigh in on an amendment that represents perhaps the most restrictive anti-abortion measure introduced in a generation.

See below many articles on the passage of the health care bill with the Stupak-Pitts amendment through the House of Representatives.
