WASHINGTON (AP) - Health care legislation before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that would affect millions of women and recast federal policy on the divisive issue.
Federal funds for abortions are now restricted to cases involving rape, incest or danger to the health of the mother. Abortion opponents say those restrictions should carry over to any health insurance sold through a new marketplace envisioned under the legislation, an exchange where people would choose private coverage or the public plan.

Insurable murder?
wow!
See i'm very pro-choice, but abortion has nothing to do with pro-choice
That whole argument that it's a woman's body and she could do what she wants with it is BS. She CAN do whatever she wants to her body, sure, but that baby inside of her is NOT her body, it's another life.
Abortion should be illegal, as with gay couples adopting.
You have the freedom to do as you wish, but do not impose anything on a baby.
For govt. to insure it.... I don't know what to say
You know what this is?
This will be HUGE, and will prove as a very efficient distraction over the cash for clunkers fiasco, the town hall mayhems and many other issues with the current administration.
Obama team are great marketers.

Should white people be able to adopt? How about people with green eyes? How about people who write with their left hand? How about people with an IQ of over 100? How about people who have a bigger 2nd toe, than big toe?

Pay for the abortion, or pay for the benefits of the unwanted, disenfranchised kid, and then your taxes can pay to keep him in jail for most of his adult life.

Either cover abortion and birth control or cover the medical problems stemming from cheap blackmarket abortions, plus childcare for single parents, plus put more money into education, plus throw a couple trillion bucks into welfare.
Then we'll be in good shape.

Ummmm.... yes they all should be able to adopt because they all are capable to procreate with a woman.
I don't see the relevance of any of your analogies.
If gay people decide a lifestyle that doesn't allow reproduction, then that's the choice they chose.
It's as simple as that!
