After months and months of staunch debate and up to 14 amendments blocked to remove abortion from government-run health care there seems to be an interesting turn taking place. A pack of 40 pro-life Democrats are challenging Nancy Pelosi and their own party to ensure that there will be no taxpayer-funded abortion allowed in the Health Care Reform bill.

This is very interesting indeed.

Stupac and others are “outing” their party’s plans to hide abortion coverage in some kind of accounting shell game.

Democratic leaders early this summer backed a provision that would allow people to use subsidies under the bill to buy insurance plans that cover abortion, but only funds from individual or employer health-care premiums could go toward paying for an abortion. Effectively, insurance companies would be tasked with segregating money from government payments from those coming from private sources, and only the latter could be used for abortion.

But Stupak and some Democrats, along with congressional Republicans, have criticized this provision as an accounting distinction. They say the federal subsidies and the private payments are combined for a person to buy a health plan; therefore, federal dollars are helping fund insurance plans that allow abortions.
