Senate Health Care Bill Void of Pro-Life Protections

Pro-life groups call Majority Leader Harry Reid's proposal 'totally unacceptable.'

As recently as Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised there would be no abortion coverage in his health care bill. Now that the bill has been introduced, pro-life groups are finding it contains language that would allow coverage through the "public option" and federal subsidies that would cover abortion on demand.

It's the same play on words Democratic leadership has been employing throughout the health care debate: using terms like "subsidies" and "premiums" to cover the use of federal money to fund abortion services.

Colin Hanna, president of Let Freedom Ring, said the idea that abortion could even be considered "health care" is offensive.
