Rep. Diana DeGette speaks against the Stupak-Pitts amendment to H.R. 3962 which goes far beyond the compromise on abortion language that was achieved earlier in the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The amendment says that the public option cannot offer abortions to anyone, even those who are purchasing the policies with 100% private money. The amendment further says that anyone who purchases insurance in the Exchange and who receives premium assistance cannot get insurance coverage for a legal-medical procedure even with a portion of their premium that is their own private money.
