Today, the House passed restrictions on abortion coverage under the Affordable Care Act. HR 430 which brought HR 358 'Protect Life Act' to a vote, restricts the ability of women to buy insurance coverage which includes paying for abortions - if full reproductive health care for women is covered, the plan can't be included in the federal health insurance exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act. The bill has been called the 'Women Will Die Act' because there are loopholes that allow health care providers who object to abortion prevent transferring a woman to a medical facility that will do the procedure. If a woman comes bleeding out from an incomplete miscarriage, she can be left to die instead of being treated.
Can anyone tell me how this creates jobs? Why is the House, with 20 days left on the legislative calendar, moving into women's uteruses instead of moving on jobs?
The bill will most likely die in the Senate but a significant amount of time was wasted on this bill that could be used to create jobs for Americans to get us back to work.
Who Voted for Not Creating Jobs - Call them up and ask them how this bill creates jobs.
