House Pro-Abortion Health Amendment Passes: Pro-Life Amendment Passed then Struck Down
Waxman predicts committee passage today
By Kathleen Gilbert
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 31, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- A pro-abortion amendment proposed as a "common ground" amendment was
voted into the House version of President Obama's healthcare overhaul
by the Energy and Commerce Committee late Thursday, while a pro-life
amendment achieved brief approval before it was struck down again hours
later.
California Democrat Lois Capps, whose voting record was rated 100% pro-abortion by NARAL, introduced the faux "common ground" amendment
that, while appearing to prohibit the abortion mandate in the
healthcare overhaul, actually calls for the public plan to cover
abortions and mandates that at least one abortion-covering plan be
available in every U.S. region. The amendment was passed 30-28.
