What Does the Media Say about Abortion in Health Care Reform?

"A law called the Hyde amendment applies the restrictions to Medicaid, forcing states that cover abortion for low-income women to do so with their own money... But the health overhaul would create a stream of federal funding not covered by the restrictions." Associated Press; By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR; August 5, 2009

"Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans." FactCheck.org; August 21, 2009

"The health-care reform proposed by House Democrats, if enacted, would in fact mark a significant change in the Federal Government's role in the financing of abortions."
