Abort The Health Care Plan?

   As many of you may know, the House of Representatives has passed a bill on health care reform.  Yeah, the pinko liberals are shouting.  Wait, there's a catch.  Funding for an abortion cannot be provided by a government subsidized insurance plan or government provided insurance plan, except in cases of rape, incest, or death to the mother.
   Nancy Pelosi called it the biggest infringement on Women's Rights of her career.  I happen to think that this is not an infringement on women's rights.  Don't get me wrong, I am hugely prochoice, obviously I don't relish in aborted fetuses, but I believe in a woman's right to choose over her body, at least before the baby has a heart beat. I simply think that this law doesn't really change anything.  If you want an abortion, pay for it yourself, buy private insurance, or buy insurance to accompany your government provided insurance. 
   There is nothing that I hate more than non-issues getting in the way of things that will help our country.  A single payer option will reduce waste in our medicare system, though I don't want to go down that path.  Nancy got a majority to agree with her and only had to give up a small concession, abortions that are done for convenince sake (ie when there was no rape, incest or possible harm to the woman).
   All this partisanship makes me wish Ted Kennedy were still alive.  It also makes me sad that both sides of the party would laugh at a great bipartisan leader like him by making something that will help ALL Americans about petty party lines.
