Health Care Passes the House!

Which is a good thing, it really is. The Stupak Amendment, however, is making it difficult for me to cheer. As near as I can tell, this amendment will make it basically impossible for non-affluent women to have elective abortions. Then again, I don't know exactly what the case is now - i.e. to what extent poorer women have any access. I know there are regions of the country where there is basically no access to abortions. I find it upsetting that the Democrats chose to make this pass by selling out women. I find it upsetting that the House has voted to take away the right, not only of women to choose, but of insurance companies to provide that right. This should be about adding coverage and improving accessibility to health care, not taking it away. Maybe it will get stripped out. Here's hoping.
