Even this headline is misleading. The language in the amendment would lead to all insurance companies engaged in the federal health care exchange to drop coverage for abortion (again, a legal medical procedure), even if the funds provided for such originate exclusively from private sources.

I suggest you contact your representative and/or Sen. Harry Reid to urge removal of such language from the ultimate bill.
