But the House just passed the bill anyway reaffirming that federal tax dollars cannot be used to provide abortions.   Head of the Party of Death, Nancy Botoxi, seen rabid, foaming at the mouth, full on crazy.  President Downgrade already promised to veto the bill if it reaches his desk.

H.R. 358, Protect Life Act, makes it clear that no funds authorized or appropriated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), including tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, may be used to pay for abortion or abortion coverage. It specifies that individual people or state or local governments must purchase a separate elective abortion rider or insurance coverage that includes elective abortion but only as long as that is done with private funds and not monies authorized by Obamacare. 

(Politico) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted an abortion bill the House will vote on later Thursday — claiming that the legislation could ultimately make women “die on the floor of health care providers.”
The bill, called the Protect Life Act, would ban the federal funding for abortions and bar women from using tax subsidies from the health care law to buy insurance that cover abortion — except in cases of rape, incest or the health of the mother. It would also ensure that health-care providers are protected if they believe that performing abortion procedures clashes with their personal beliefs.
“Under this bill, when the Republicans vote for this bill today, they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor of health care providers. . . it’s just appalling,” Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. “I can’t even describe to you the logic of what they are doing today.”  (read more)
