And so it begins
Negotiators Add Abortion Clause to Spending Bill (NYT: bugmenot).
"House and Senate negotiators have tucked a potentially far-reaching anti-abortion provision into a $388 billion must-pass spending bill. . . . [it] would bar federal, state and local agencies from withholding taxpayer money from health care providers that refuse to provide or pay for abortions or refuse to offer abortion counseling or referrals. . . . including hospitals, doctors, clinics and insurers."
This means that your insurance company will now be able to refuse to pay for an abortion. And why wouldn't they? They mostly refused to pay for birth control until recently. B/c they know damn good and well we're gonna pay out of pocket for that shit if we have to.
And don't anyone give me any bullshit about "conscience." Insurance companies are not people. It's about their bottom line. Make the bitches pay for their own goddamn abortions, it's good for business. Fuck 'em.
