. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/mop7fjs . .The House has passed a bill banning abortion coverage in federally subsidized Obamacare plans, amid a renewed GOP push to keep abortion a front-and-center issue in the midterm elections.
The measure, passed Tuesday afternoon by a 227-188 vote, would make it illegal for individuals to use the laws subsidies to buy plans through the new health exchanges that would cover abortion services. Half the states have already passed legislation limiting abortion coverage in exchange plans, but this measure would apply nationwide and possibly discourage insurers on the exchanges from offering abortion coverage at all.
. snip .Despite the Houses action, the bill stands virtually no chance of being taken up in the Senate. Moreover, the White House has said the president would be advised to veto the bill were it to reach his desk.
. snip .This is propaganda, its political, said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The Republicans are trying to make people believe their taxpayer dollars are being used to pay for abortions. Its not true.
.The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), would also permanently codify several long-standing prohibitions on taxpayer funding for abortion, such as the Hyde Amendment, which have typically been tacked onto annual spending bills. The vote is the 50th time the House has moved to repeal or change parts or all of the Affordable Care Act.
.House GOP leaders gave the bill a prominent spotlight in keeping with the partys renewed offense on abortion. Republicans are hitting back against Democrats war on women messaging and vowing to support candidates this year who dont shy away from the issue.
. snip .The party is also aware that it needs to massage its own messaging given recent comments by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee that reminded many Republicans of their ongoing problems in talking about reproduction. For the first time, the GOPs Senate campaign headquarters is training candidates how to talk about womens issues.
