On the one hand, health bill passes.On the other hand, it forbids federal funds for abortion services. *headdesk* Look, guys*, should I ever need my uterus scraped for shits and giggles? I can guarantee you that it's going to be a goddamned medical necessity, because I am neither financially or emotionally equipped to give birth to a child, and within the first trimester I have yet to hear one sound argument for the thing in my belly being an actual person coming from the supposed pro-lifers aside from, "But Jeebus did it!" And I'm fucking middle class, which means that I have cool things like private (okay, private-but-government-contracted) health insurance, a reliable vehicle all my own, and sick time with which to handle an abortion through private means should the need arise. The poor and working poor that this bill is supposed to aid?
Not so goddamned much.*Guys being almost gender-neutral at this point, but...it is what is, okay?
