Should health insurance cover abortions

Robert Farley a staff writer for a political fact magazine discussed the topic of whether the health insurance reform would mean new government funding could pay for private insurance plans that cover abortion. According to Farley none of the reform bills mentioned abortion until the latest version approached this issue last week which was introduced by Rep. Lois Capps. The amendment would separate the money that would be used to pay for abortions. It would strictly forbid federal dollars from being used to subsidize abortions. Any of the money that would be used for abortion coverage must be paid by an insured through their premiums. What do you think about this amendment? Should health insurance have anything to do with abortions?
