I've seen a fairly good number of DUers say this.

I ask all of you here and now, "Why not?"

It's not about the money, is it? It can't be. If these pregnancies go to term, the cost of prenatal care and delivery far exceeds the cost of termination.

Let's be honest, it's about your opinion of the procedure. It's about your beliefs. Why is it OK that you factor your opinion of this procedure into HCR? And more importantly, why is it OK to use HCR to restrict access? Because that's what Stupak and DFLA really want. And, if the desire really is to reduce the number of abortions, why not mandate the coverage of contraception in the bill?

I want HCR to pass and I want my representatives to not bend to the religious right at the expense of women's choice and access. I don't want Democrats working towards restricting access.
