The vote added to the Democratic bill an amendment sponsored by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., and others, that prohibits individuals who receive insurance subsidies from purchasing any plan that pays for elective abortions.

House Democratic leaders agreed Friday night to allow a floor vote on the Stupak amendment to the bill in order to win the support of about three dozen Democrats who feared that the original bill would have subsidized abortions.

So, people who receive federal subsidies to buy insurance will be restricted in the plan they can choose. This is a horrible amendment. Not only does it dictate what type of coverage people can buy if people receive subsidies...it will encourage plans to drop abortion coverage so that they can pick up more subsidized customers.

I am so SICK of women's bodies and choice being used as a bargaining chip for political cover. It is DISGUSTING.
