Lest anyone be confused on this point, ObamaCare means abortion is fully covered.
Most Democrats in the House and in the Senate will never vote for ObamaCare if abortion is not fully convered. If it becomes a reality, abortion will be covered just as much as any other “surgical procedure”. None of this should of course come as a surprise to any sentient pro-lifer.

Most Democrats would never vote for a bill that didn’t cover abortion? Why not?
The truth is that no one is FOR abortion. Just a woman’s right to decide.
Republicans want to cover Viagra because they feel “erectile dysfunction” is a “medical condition”. If Democrats can’t cover abortion, then Republicans shouldn’t be allowed to cover Viagra.
“The truth is that no one is FOR abortion. Just a woman’s right to decide.”
Rubbish. That is akin to saying that no one was pro-slavery but merely the right of a white to decide whether he owned a black. Thank you for proving my point that for most Democrats and their members of Congress the right to abortion is the holy grail.
Erectile dysfunction is a disorder that is corrected by medication. Pregnancy is a natural condition whose end is a live, human infant. The equating of the two shows in part why you, and Democrats in general, don’t understand the issue.
Though I will say, at a pragmatic trade off level, I’d be willing to see people with erectile disfunction have to pay for medication out of pocket, if the trade off would result in a total ban on any funding for abortions — not because I’d see them as the same thing, but because I’d see them as of much different levels of importance. I just don’t think that that party of NOW and NARL has any interest in making the trade.
I wouldn’t disagree with that. I don’t think everything can or should be covered. The illustration for rdean is that given medication for erectile dysfunction is a form of health care. Directly terminating a pregnancy is a form of murder. Two very different things.
Perhaps I am getting senile, but I do remember Senator Boxer asking [some years ago, of course] “Since when is pregnancy a disease.”.
