Key pro-life amendments voted down?

[ExDeoVita]

Can anyone provide more insight on how many pro-life amendments were voted down since this ‘health care’ reform has been going on? And where can we find what was specifically included in each amendment? I know that sometimes amendments are voted down because they include other stuff that officials have issue with. Am I correct in assuming these amendments contained only provisions to excluding tax payer funding of abortion?

I am clueless as to why people somehow think this new ‘health care’ plan will not provide abortion when all sincere efforts to explicitly exclude abortion funding have been voted down. The mantra that we hear is that the old Hyde amendment protects us from taxpayer funding of abortion, but if that were really the case than what’s the big deal with codifying this in a newer amendment? We would be achieving the same exact result wouldn’t we? - Nothing lost / nothing gained = whats the malfunction?

As I see it, there is great malfunction, even disinterest in how sincere individuals with a sound pro-life ethic are being treated by government officials. I assume the government thinks we are a bunch of dummies, or at least hopes we can’t get the message out before they punch this reform through.

It will include abortion unless abortion coverage is explicitly prohibited. We can’t rely on the Hyde Amendment, in case Obama and his pro-abortion allies get rid of it. And the Capps Amendment, the so-called compromise, is not really a compromise and won’t help. We need an explicit prohibition on abortion coverage.
