Taxpayer Funding For Abortion And Abortion Insurance

H.R.7 No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2017 is a proposed legislation that would put the Hyde Amendment into permanent affect (govtrack2017). This would ban all federal funds and all federally funded health care coverages from paying for elective abortions (congress2017). The only time the coverage of an abortion would be covered is if the mother was raped, incest had occurred, or the mother’s life was at risk (Congress2017). This legislation would also

Ever since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law, over fifteen million more people have health insurance and have been living healthier lives (Levy). The ACA was an idea for better health care insurance thought up by President Barack Obama to make the lives of Americans better. It works by reducing the costs of health care for those who wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise. It’s a step towards the U.S. joining the other well developed countries that have universal health care plans

Abortions continue to be a controversial topic for not only the American people, but the congress as well. Republicans argue their views on why the American people should not be forced to pay taxes that will directly go to abortions procedures, and Democrats continue to rebut. This controversial debate revolves directly around Planned Parenthood. GOP continues to push the ban on federal funds allotted to this particular organization, due to its involvement in abortions and alleged tissue and stem

changed throughout the years, especially for women. Areas that have experienced trouble have been Planned Parenthood, and whether or not birth control should be included in insurance and/or provided by healthcare agencies or employers. Planned Parenthood has been getting attacked because of people who do not believe abortion is a morally conscious decision. Planned Parenthood helps women who are unable to afford the care they need while pregnant, teaches safe sex, and provides adequate health care

I found myself in need of services provided by Planned Parenthood due to not being able to afford my health insurance. When I did have access to health insurance I was able to obtain my birth control at no cost. Due to not having insurance the cost of my birth control rose to $190.00 per month. When looking for other options, Planned Parenthood gave me great advice and I was given the opportunity to pay $30 a month for my

statewide (Who Decides?). The state legislature’s over one thousand bills restricting women’s right to legal abortion services in 2011 alone and Congress’ at least eight votes against women in 2012 (Jones) are just further examples of anti-women, anti-choice legislation being enacted in Washington. In fact, Congress wasted no time on its anti-abortion agenda in 2015, introducing measures to ban abortions after 20-weeks on its very first day back in session in the New Year (Culp-Ressler). This measure is

When people hear the word abortion they can’t help but think about the killing of an innocent child, but the real question is how abortions are being paid for. The taxpayers’ money each year? Should the government raise money to fund abortions each year or not. Abortions are typically defined as the termination of a child during the first 28 weeks of the pregnancy. Some say that the government should pay for all healthcare related problems since they are paying taxes every year. Some would disagree

Millions of taxpayer dollars are going to fund Planned Parenthood. Along with the Obamacare introduction, Planned Parenthood has become a secondary cost to make sure women have health care throughout the United States. Along with the wasted money being spent, Planned Parenthood has other issues. The high cost of administration and the sale of fetus tissue and organs have become the latest in an agency out of control. Because of the wasteful administration of funds and ethical questions about disposing

it hard to come to an agreement on middle ground with one another when discussing important topics such as the legalization of abortions. In 1973, the landmark case of Roe v. Wade determined, in a 7-2 ruling, that the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state's interests in regulating abortions: protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life (PBS, 2006). Four states, Illinois, Kentucky,

expanding taxpayer-funded abortion access in Illinois? It was never any secret that Gov. Rauner and his wife, Diana, are longtime supporters of the abortions-rights lobby. However, Gov. Rauner won the Republican primary and subsequent general election by convincing anti-abortion voters and principled Republicans that he was genuine in the statement he repeated over and over during his campaign: He is focused on fixing Illinois’ myriad economic issues and has “no social agenda.” Anti-abortion advocates
