House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denied there was public funding of abortion in proposed health care legislation at the White House Health Care Summit on Thursday. However, critics said her comments ignored proposed "abortion tax" requirements for members of some federally subsidized insurance plans.

What the pro-lifers are getting all pissy about is the possibility that a Federal tax credit may be used to help an individual pay for their health insurance premium. Currently abortion services are allowed in about 80% of private health insurance plans. If they had their way, contraceptives and other types of birth control would be illegal, and wouldn't that help decrease the number of abortions performed in the United States.....dripping with sarcasm.....
Here's a clue.....you don't want abortion, don't effing have one.
