A Blow Against Women's Rights

Ronni Bennett has written eloquently about the Stupak Amendment here. From Ronni's post:
This amendment accomplishes exactly what many in the right wing say they fear from reform legislation: government coming between doctors and their patients. Further, since the tax credits – subsidies – are available only to those whose employers do not provide health coverage, the limitation falls primarily on the shoulders of poor women. And, obviously, it singles out women for discrimination.
Please go to the link and read the article. She also has a link to the full text of the amendment.
