House Passes Restrictive Anti-Abortion Package
The so-called No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act is approved along party 
lines and would make into law current policies that prohibit federal money 
from paying for abortions through Medicaid and some other federal 
programs.

Reporting from Washington The House of Representatives on Wednesday 
approved a sweeping antiabortion package to further distance federal funds 
from the procedure by solidifying existing measures and imposing new ones.

.

The measures stand little chance of approval by the Senate, but again 
demonstrated the key role social issues still play in unifying the 
Republican Party.

.

Dubbed the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, the bill was approved 
along party lines and endorsed by longtime abortion foes and the House 
Republican leadership, despite arguments that GOP lawmakers should keep a 
narrow focus on budget and spending issues.

.

Republicans demanded the antiabortion measures as part of contentious 
budget discussions earlier this year, nearly tanking bipartisan talks and 
risking a government shutdown. The provisions were removed in a deal with 
the White House to enable passage of the budget measure on the condition 
that a separate vote be held later to allow members to express their views 
on the record.

.

The House bill would permanently place into law current policies 
prohibiting federal money from paying for abortions through Medicaid and 
some other federal programs. The policies, primarily outlined in the 
decades-old measure known as the Hyde Amendment, must be periodically 
renewed.

But the bill also goes further to eliminate what supporters say are 
indirect federal subsidies for abortion providers.

.

Under the measure, businesses that offer health insurance policies 
covering abortion could not recoup tax credits under the new healthcare 
law. In addition, individuals could not deduct the cost of an abortion 
when itemizing health expenses on their taxes, nor could they use a 
tax-exempt savings account to pay for an abortion.

House GOP, Democrats Resume Fights Over Abortion, Health Care

The capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, and the nation's bipartisan 
sense of satisfaction about it, caused President Obama to ask lawmakers 
Monday evening to extend that feeling to other areas.

.

No such luck. As NPR's Andrea Seabrook noted on All Things Considered, 
House Republicans on Wednesday approved controversial anti-abortion 
legislation. And that vote came a day after they rolled past the 
Democratic minority to approve a ban on certain funding of the new health 
care law.

.

Wednesday's vote was on a sweeping anti-abortion bill called the "No 
Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act" or HR3.

House approves measure that would ban D.C.-funded abortions

The House approved a bill Wednesday that would make permanent a ban on the 
District using its own money to fund abortions for low-income women, 
dealing D.C. another setback in its quest to retain control over its 
finances.

.

The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act cleared the House on a 251-175 
vote, with 16 Democrats joining all 235 Republicans present to support it. 
The bill would tighten laws designed to prevent federally-funded abortions 
across the country, and would enshrine the District ban into federal law. 
The spending resolution signed by President Obama last month contains a 
similar restriction on D.C., but it only lasts through Sept. 30.

.

The House bill is unlikely to come up in standalone form in the Senate, 
where Democratic leaders are opposed. Obama has also threatened to veto 
the measure, in part, the Office of Management and Budget says, because it 
restricts the District of Columbias use of local funds, which undermines 
home rule.

.

.

The language used in this bill converts the District into a Federal 
property for the first time in its history, Mayor Vincent C. Gray wrote in 
a letter to members of Congress Wednesday. This unprecedented affront to 
the sovereignty of a local and state government would never be 
contemplated anywhere else in the United States. Yet, the District is 
particularly singled out in the bill for such treatment.

.

That followed a separate letter to congressional leaders that the full 
city council sent Tuesday.

The new Republican majority's agenda is pretty clear when you look at 
their list of legislation this Congress:

.

H.R. 1 -- decimate the programs that millions of middle-class families 
across the country depend on.

.

H.R. 2 -- repeal the landmark law that expands health care to millions of 
Americans and prevents big insurance companies from discriminating against 
people when they get sick.

.

And then, of course, there's H.R. 3, which would restrict women's rights 
to make their own health decisions and roll back the rights of women by 
decades.

.

These three bills read like a "to do" list for the Republican Party. And 
today, that third item is dangerously close to becoming a reality.

.

H.R. 3 is deceptively titled as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. 
Yet it has nothing to do with federal funding of abortions -- an issue 
that was put to rest for years by language in the Hyde Amendment that 
prohibits taxpayer dollars from funding abortion procedures. But for some, 
that simply isn't enough. Since they continuously cannot muster the 
support to ban abortion outright, they instead attempt to make abortion 
care as difficult as possible. In this case, H.R. 3 attempts to manipulate 
the tax code to deny small businesses tax credits if they provide their 
employees with comprehensive health care, permanently bans abortion care 
for federal employees, and potentially subjects victims of rape and incest 
who have sought abortion care to IRS audits.

.

But the bill's name isn't the most deceptive or egregious part of it. H.R. 
3 truly represents an unprecedented rollback of women's rights by sneaking 
in a backdoor provision to reintroduce language that redefines rape. You 
might have heard about it on The Daily Show. And indeed, it would be a 
laughable concept if it weren't so serious. Just earlier this year, facing 
a backlash from women and voters across the country, Republicans removed 
the ludicrous and now-infamous "forcible rape" language, which would have 
completely changed the definition of rape.

.

But while they removed that particular language, House Republicans have 
now reinserted a provision with the same intent into the bill's committee 
report - meaning the outcome will essentially be the same: Republicans are 
narrowing the definition of rape so they can restrict rape victims' 
ability to obtain an abortion. They're just trying to hide this deeper in 
the bill's 'fine print.'

The truth of the matter is that H.R. 3 breaks sharply with longstanding 
federal abortion policy in ways that could significantly impact people's 
health insurance and set a precedent that jeopardizes federal funding for 
many faith-based organizations. Proponents of the legislation claim it 
will permanently codify the Hyde Amendment, which is renewed annually and 
prohibits federal funding of abortion services except in the case of rape, 
incest, or to protect the life of the mother. But H.R. 3 would also create 
financial penalties for individuals whose insurance plans cover abortion 
services (something the majority of insurance plans currently do, and have 
done without arousing controversy during pro-choice and pro-life 
Presidential administrations in the past). The bill would discontinue all 
tax subsidies to private health insurance plans that cover abortion, even 
if abortion coverage is entirely paid for by private funds, and it would 
impose tax penalties on those that pay for abortion coverage. In other 
words, it would create incentives for health insurers to not cover 
abortion services at all. Pro-life leaders who support this tax increase 
and departure from the status quo should say so.

.

Furthermore, H.R. 3 also risks bringing about problematic unintended 
consequences, which Third Way helpfully lays out in this memo:

H.R. 3, Wide-Sweeping Anti-Abortion Bill, Facing House Vote (UPDATED)

WASHINGTON - A closer look at a House bill marketed to the public as a 
"common-sense" ban on taxpayer-funded abortions reveals an aggressive, 
multi-pronged effort to restrict insurance coverage for and reduce access 
to abortion.

.

H.R. 3, also known as the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act," would 
go beyond making the Hyde Amendment, which has already banned 
federally-funded abortions for the past 30 years, a permanent federal law. 
The legislation, sponsored by Reps. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and House Speaker 
John Boehner (R-Ohio), would also enact strict procedural requirements for 
private insurance companies that cover abortions and deny tax credits to 
small businesses that purchase health insurance plans offering abortion 
coverage. Eight-seven percent of private insurance plans currently include 
such coverage.

.

Further, H.R. 3 would eliminate privately funded insurance coverage for 
abortion in the state-based exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act. 
The policy team at NARAL Pro-Choice America estimates that 13.5 million 
women who receive health coverage through Medicaid and other 
government-sponsored programs would permanently lose access to abortion 
coverage if the measure, facing a floor vote Wednesday, passes.

.

Some of the more extreme ramifications of the bill, which have attracted a 
great deal of negative media attention since its introduction in January, 
include a provision that could subject victims of rape and incest to 
abortion audits by the IRS. Mother Jones reported in March that H.R. 3 
could turn IRS agents into "abortion cops" tasked with determining whether 
a woman used any kind of tax benefit to pay for a procedure not 
precipitated by rape or incest.

.

Marcus Owens, a former longtime IRS official, told Mother Jones that if a 
woman received a tax credit for medical costs related to abortion, "on 
audit [she] would have to demonstrate or prove, ideally by contemporaneous 
written documentation, that it was incest, or rape, or [her] life was in 
danger. It would be fairly intrusive for the woman."

.

H.R. 3 has achieved further notoriety through its attempt to narrow the 
definition of "rape" as it relates to abortion. Lawmakers pulled language 
from the original measure that allowed federal funding for abortions only 
in the case of "forcible rape" after drawing widespread public criticism, 
but Mother Jones reported on Tuesday that House Republicans are using a 
backdoor legislative maneuver to ensure the bill achieves the same effect.

Reproductive Rights activists, including Feminist Majority Foundation 
organizers, and members of the organizations DC Vote and the DC Abortion

Wednesday evening at Capitol Hill. The protest was focused on HR3's 
permanent ban on the District's ability to use local funds for abortions, 
as well as the general federalizing of D.C. government and funds. Council 
member Mary Cheh and 7 other women activists were arrested for blocking 
traffic during the protest. The groups hope to continue putting pressure 
on Congress and plan to hold a similar protest next Wednesday, May 11.

Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, stated 
"True to form, the House majority has cast a wide net in its attack on

H.R. 3: An End Sweep of Rights
Blog Critics Politics
http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/hr-3-an-end-sweep-of/

.

.


While so much attention has been paid to the death of Osama Bin Laden, yet 
another Republican House majority attack on civil liberties has moved 
forward under a new guise. Introduced in the House back in January and 
renamed H.R.3 to symbolize its importance, the No Taxpayer Funding for 
Abortion Act made its way through committees to the House floor on 
Wednesday. Not surprisingly, it passed. Essentially, the bill codifies 
what has already been practice, which is to bar federal employees, members 
of the military and those who receive federal assistance from using 
taxpayer money to pay for abortions, with few exceptions.

.


It is an end sweep of the 14th Amendment as well as Roe v Wade, and it 
re-regulates womens reproductive rights in the process.

.

A top priority of Republican leaders, specifically co-sponsors John 
Boehner and Eric Cantor, under the language of H.R. 3, rape becomes 
"forcible rape." Presumably that modifier distinguishes it from other 
kinds of sexual assault that are typically recognized as rape, such as 
statutory rape and attacks that occur because of drugs or verbal threats.

The Oxymoron Of 2011  Republican Woman

.

How do Republican women sleep at night? How does one get up in the 
morning, look in the mirror and justify voting to make a mentally 
deficient 14-year-old give birth because she didnt understand what her 
boyfriend was doing? How does she justify voting to ignore drugs slipped 
into a drink as equal to a knife or a gun in a rape? How does she justify 
saying that a woman cannot claim she was raped at gunpoint or knifepoint 
unless she is critically injured or killed fighting back? How many stab 
wounds, broken bones, bruises, or bullet holes are required to prove 
forcible rape? Does it feel good knowing you protected the life of a 
pre-born child in the womb of a young woman in a persistent coma caused by 
Rohypnol?

We all thought that the language restricting the definition of rape to 
forcible had been deleted from Rep. Chris Smiths heinous No Taxpayer 
Funding For Abortion Act, but while the language is not technically in the 
bill that passed the House of Representatives last night, there is a 
backdoor reintroduction of that language. If the bill is challenged in 
court, the judges will have to look at the congressional committee 
proceedings to determine exactly what is intended in the bill and what is 
intended is a restriction on abortions except when the mothers life is 
demonstrably in danger or the rape victim can prove that she fought back. 
Of course, if she fought back enough to meet Smiths requirements, the rape 
would be investigated as a murder, so no abortion would be called for.

.

Ever known teenagers who are classified as trainable mentally handicapped? 
One of the biggest issues facing caregivers and teachers is the fact that 
these teens have all the hormones of average teens with no capacity for 
understanding the implications of their actions.

.

Or how about the unpopular 14-year-old who suddenly finds herself being 
courted by the 18-year-old football star. Hell go to jail for a few years 
for statutory rape, but shell never finish high school and spend 18 years 
trying to raise his kid on minimum wage jobs.

.

Nearly 135,000 signatures on a petition opposing H. R. 3 did nothing to 
stop House Speaker John Boehner holding the vote last night. Sixteen 
anti-choice Democrats joined the House Republicans in passing this bill, 
which stands no chance of getting past the Democratic Senate or the 
President. There was even a threat to hold the debt ceiling increase vote 
up unless this bill was voted on and passed.

PA Delegation Mostly Supports New Limits on Abortion Funding

A bipartisan majority of Pennsylvanias delegation in Congress voted for a 
bill that adds new limits on abortion and its funding.

.

snip

.

In a statement boasting about his vote for the bill, Rep. Tom Marino said 
current law consists of a patchwork of riders to appropriations 
legislation or executive orders.

.

Instead of relying on the whims of the annual appropriations process or 
any easily revocable order by the President, it is time to put into law 
the prohibition against using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions, 
Marino said.

.

snip

.

Rep. Mike Doyle voted against H.R. 3, saying the bill goes too far.

.

snip

.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out press releases 
criticizing votes in favor of the bill by Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick and Pat 
Meehan.

.

In their, zeal to restrict womens health care, today he voted to place new 
restrictions on how women with private insurance can spend private dollars 
in purchasing their own health insurance, read the release. This is yet 
another example that [Fitzpatrick and Meehan]s agenda is about advancing 
right-wing social issues rather than creating jobs.

,

Its too early to tell how the issue will play back home, but it would seem 
that Republicans have the upper hand in the messaging battle in 
Pennsylvania.

.

All of Pennsylvanias Republican delegation voted in favor of the bill, and 
more PA Democrats voted for it than Democrats from any other state. Reps. 
Jason Altmire, Mark Critz and Tim Holden all voted for the proposal.

A day after joining just four other Democrats in voting for a health care 
reform defunding bill, conservative Democrat Jason Altmire yesterday again 
voted with Republicans to bar taxpayer-funded abortions.

.

This time he was one of one of 16 Dems to cross party lines, and was 
joined by (possible 2012 primary rival) Mark Critz of Johnstown.

This is a democracy and he's an elected official. So if you had thoughts 
(either way) about this bill and its redefinition of rape and how it turns 
the IRS into "abortion cops", you have the right to discuss those thoughts 
with your elected officials.

If you're looking for contact information to ask Congressman Altmire about 
his vote, it's found here.

Altmire has long been anti-abortion, and the nexus of abortion and health 
care reform was a bigger deal in the PA-3 race between Republican Mike 
Kelly and Democrat Kathy Dahlkemper last year.

The idea that a woman has to document her rape or incest incident in order 
to receive tax credits is not only absurd  it is also psychologically 
damaging. There is no reason why a woman should have to revisit an 
emotionally traumatic experience for financial reasons. When, or if, these 
examinations are conducted, how can abortion cops decide who receives 
these credits and who doesnt? This is precisely why there has been such 
opposition to the bill. It attempts to redefine rape according to the 
subjective interpretation of certain government officials, simply for the 
purpose of maintaining a tighter grip on tax credits.

.

Passing the No Taxpayer Funding or Abortion Act does not improve the U.S. 
economy, nor does it solve any of the educational crises. It serves no 
real function except to slight women of their sexual autonomy in favor of 
a growing conservative movement and define the context under which 
abortions are reasonable. If House Republicans were truly invested in 
fiscal responsibility and representing the common person, they would not 
produce a bill that robs women of already limited medical choices.

House Passes Ban on Abortion Funding
by  Audrey Hudson

.

.

Although President Obama twice voted against taxpayer-funded abortion in 
the District of Columbia when he served in the Senate, he is threatening 
to veto the legislation if it receives final passage in the Senate.

.

The administration will strongly oppose legislation that unnecessarily 
restricts womens reproductive freedoms and consumers private insurance 
options, the White House said in a statement.  If the President is 
presented with HR 3, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the 
bill.

.

Congress has passed temporary bans since 1976, tacked onto annual spending 
bills authored by former Rep. Henry Hyde (R. Ill.).  The language exempts 
cases of rape, incest, or when the mothers life is in danger.

.

The bill bans abortions in military hospitals in the U.S. and abroad.

.

The legislation also eliminates tax breaks for businesses offering 
insurance that pays for abortion, which Democrats said amounts to a tax 
hike.

.

It turns the tax code into a moral code, said Jackie Speier (D.  Calif.). 
Many people are opposed to profanity, maybe we should make that illegal 
when filling out taxes.

House Passes H.R. 3, Reproductive and Women's Groups Respond
posted by: Robin Marty 19 hours ago
Care 2
http://www.care2.com/causes/womens-rights/blog/house-passes-h-r-3/

.

.

Responses to the passage of the bill by women's rights and reproductive 
rights groups was unanimous.  Stephanie Schriock of EMILY's List stated, 
"Republican leaders once again showed American women they care more about 
taking away their access to health care than they do about creating jobs. 
The economic recovery they campaigned on was just the first half of a bait 
and switch. Turns out, the number one GOP priority is an obsession with 
taking away women's freedoms and their opportunities to keep themselves 
and their families healthy."

.

Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said "Despite facing 
intense public backlash for bringing the government to the brink of 
shutdown over defunding Planned Parenthood, Speaker Boehner and his allies 
have resumed their War on Women with the passage of H.R.3. This bill is so 
extreme that it manipulates the tax code to advance anti-choice policies 
and could spur the IRS to audit rape and incest survivors who choose 
abortion care."

.

Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, agreed, 
stating, "True to form, the House majority has cast a wide net in its 
attack on women's health and rights -- this time, trying to use the tax 
code to eradicate all insurance coverage for abortion. This move is the 
height of hypocrisy, because politicians who regularly rail against big 
government today voted to raise taxes on millions of families and small 
businesses -- merely to stop them from purchasing insurance plans that 
cover abortion."

.

And Jon O'Brien, the president of Catholics for Choice, responded, "The 
vote is a rejection of the values that the Republican Party claims to 
represent. What is Republican about its leadership's obsession with the 
private healthcare decisions that women make? The Republican Party's 
platform calls for 'improving public health through flexibility and 
innovation' and 'giving patients and providers control over treatment 
options.' How does this move improve public health? How does it give women 
more control over their treatment options? Where does the platform state 
that we must destroy the social supports on which the less well-off rely? 
Finally, I must ask why the Republican elite is obsessed with the 
decisions that women and their partners make about whether to start or 
continue a pregnancy.
