Here’s a cogent analysis explaining why the Stupak amendment does nothing to restrict abortion beyond its stated purpose: ensuring no taxpayer money goes to the effort.
Now let’s discuss the reality. Women don’t want to buy abortion coverage, even if they can easily afford it. Buying coverage is a before-the-fact thing. Getting an abortion is rationalized as an oh-my-God-I-didn’t-see-this-coming thing. Buying abortion coverage will make women feel like sluts or murderers or both.
Expect no reasoned debate on this moving forward.
