U.S.
journalist Sheila Liaugminas writes for Mercatornet.com that the bill "took some House members a lot of work and effort to
pressure Speaker John Boehner into standing up for.”
The
point of dispute is H.R. 940, also known as the Health Care Conscience Rights
Act. The Act makes a change to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
Obamacare, by protecting individuals, employers, and health-insurance issuers
from having to purchase or offer health insurance that includes abortion or
other items or services to which they have a moral or religious objection.
The
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops urged both houses of Congress to stand for
conscience rights by enacting H.R. 940 just a few days before the U.S.
government shut down.
Liaugminas
presents startling facts about the impasse within the House of Representatives
and the findings of the Charlotte Lozier Institute: “Americans will be
complicit in the deaths of thousands of unborn children each year.”
