Hillary Clinton and forced amniocentesis & abortion

[DrumminFool91]

So around the dinner table, I heard that Hillary Clinton’s universal health care plan that she tried to enact during her presid… I mean her husband’s presidency included making amniocentesis testing for pregnant women a mandatory feature of the plan. Supposedly, if a woman would refuse the testing, or refused an abortion if the tests came back positive, the healthcare costs for the woman and the child would not be covered by the government.

(*For those who don’t know, amniocentesis is an invasive test in which amniotic fluid is extracted by a long, thin needle in order to determine whether or not an unborn child has a defect like down-syndrome - they are egregiously incorrect and come with a 1% risk of miscarriage).

The other part of this is that this mando-testing is supposed to be included in some form in the current administration’s universal health care plan.

So here’s some questions: how can I verify the veracity of these claims? If these claims are true, what can we do about it?

Since it didn’t happen, I wouldn’t waste my time or energy.

What if she DID say and try to do this years ago? So what?

As far as the rest, write your congressman and senator, if you can confirm this rumor.

Well, my point was not just about the past - more about if this is the sort of thing coming down the pike.

So what? You don’t think this is a bit fascist? You don’t think that it’s a little scary to have people like this leading our country?

I read the plan and didn’t see any such thing. Rumor, at best. It could have been in an earlier version.

Why, does that kind of thing surprise you? How about Obama backing the practice of letting botched abortion babies born alive die without any efforts to save them? Is that any less heinous?

Don’t be surprised by anything the extreme Left has in mind.

Yes, that’s why I didn’t vote for them. But so many Catholics did that we have a pro-abortion president. All we can do now is pray, demonstrate, and write letters.
