There is currently law that bans use of any government funds for abortion. Period. It works. That has been law for some time. It won't change and healthcare reform does nothing to it.
What the amendment does is prevent anybody from purchasing insurance that would pay for abortion. It is a back-door abortion prohibition. It is slimy and it sucks.
I agree, the Democrats are acting completely back-boneless. I figured I'd have to worry about all the "liberal" legislation they would pass. I was wrong.
Edit: Illegal aliens are thought to comprise less than 1% of people who get into the healthcare system, from what I've seen written. If anyone has anything different, speak up.
