Abortion Rights Group to Launch TV Ad Fighting Stupak Restrictions

One wonders; "What effect will knowledge that the Republican National Committee's ("RNC") Health Care Plan (with CIGNA) COVERED ELECTIVE ABORTION Over the LAST 18 YEARS???"

The content of the ad is quite good...but presenting it as part of a stand up routine?

More than "tacky"....plain bad taste, and likely ineffective.

This ammendment is only for government subsidised plans using tax payers money will not be allowed. Whats the big deal you should pay for your own abortion why should tax payers pay for your five minutes of irresponsible behavior. If you choose to take a life you should pay for it yourself.

How many times does this condition exist and, since it seems to be very, very rare, it's manipulative to use as an example.

But...to bring it up during a stand up comedy routine is idiotic and totally inappropriate.

I gotta love people who believe the Stupak Amendment will prevent publicly funded abortions. Being pregnant is a pre-existing condition. Being Mexican or any other form of non-citizen is a pre-existing condition. If you can't be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions in this Bill, then we will still be paying for illegal aliens and abortions under this or some other loop hole. The constitution says you have a right to LIFE not reproductive choice. Stop spending your money trying to get something the Congress is already giving you at our expense. The wasted ad revenues could probably pay for my cancer treatments.

Stupak and his christian followers including my Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) who Stupak counseled in marriage but FAILED continue to attack a woman's right to her own body. Stupak and Sanford both make me ill! I am sick of these christians who want to legislate morality especially thiers but they don't want it to apply to them!

Whoever dreamed up this ad, should be fired. Whatever your views are, to present this as part of some kind of stand-up comedy routine is asinine. This condition occurs in approximately 0.0006% (1 in 175,000) births.

They are shameful! Some of these women's groups are an embaressment to women everywhere. As a woman, I find them completely offensive and they do not, I repeat, DO NOT represent all women.

John Copeland, if a baby is part of its mother's body, could you explain to me why my brother is a boy? If my brother were part of my mom's body, wouldn't he be a girl? In that case wouldn't all babies be girls?? If a baby is part of its mother's body just because it spends its first few months inside her, then I must be part of my office building because I spend part of my life inside of IT. Now, I need to determine if I'm a stairway or a carpet. What do you think?

Someone skipped Biology 101

"A woman walks into her doctor's office and says: "Doc, I'm 11 weeks pregnant – my baby has anencephaly, which means parts of her skull and brain are literally missing. It's fatal. Does my insurance cover an abortion? The doctor says: "No it does not.""*****WHY does she have to tell her doctor that she is 11 weeks pregnant and "her baby" has anencephaly? And then have to further explain to the doctor what the condition anencephaly means? I would change doctors.

Why can't we just have health savings accounts and pay for it ourselves? Why should taxpayers pay for abortions, or pay for pregnancy coverage in their own life insurance...when they are post menopausal, seniors, or ARE MEN!!!

This whole health care takeover has a way of turning common sense on it's head...

There are PLENTY of solutions out there if Government could let adults decide for themselves what is best for them...

NewJerseyVet...the ammendment does not deny a woman's right to do anything...it simply says that the tax payer isn't going to pay for it via a government offered plan. I don't see what the problem is.

Also, based on this ad, even if they were successful Anencephaly would/should just be added as an exception like the exceptions already there for rape, incest, risk to the mother rather than the whole ammendment being thrown out (as this group is clearly looking to have done).

So now it's considered to be a baby? I thought it was just a blob of tissue at 11 weeks??? That's what we're told over and over again by pro-choice activists. If it's just a blob, then how do you know that he/she is missing part of his/her skull and brain??? Hmmmmmmmmmm,greedy, money-hungry liars-that is what the abortion industry is made up of.

Again, the 'debate' is so one sided.
No pro life ad would be aired. They were rejected by ABC, CBC, NBC, ect.
In the name of fairness, air both sides of the debate, or none of it.
I LOVE how some still frame this as 'rights'.
HELLO. It's 100% legal to abort a baby, period. Doesn't matter how far along the pregnancy is.
Is there now some Constitutional right to make others pay for abortion?
Is that the snake oil the abortion lobby is trying to sell?
It's all about the money. Planned Parenthood wants more tax dollars.

Please, please, be smart enough to see through this.
I have so little hope.
Look how many couldn't see through Obama!

we pay for wars,wars that plenty of people did not want, did not think we needed and we were right. Our money, my tax money, was used to kill hundreds of thousand of people in a war I never wanted that I thought was a sin. But republicans never had a problem blowing billions in mass murder attacking a country that was of those threat to us killing thousands along the way. Yup. soooo 'prolife', huh? Baloney.

Hey Doc, my new born has anencephaly.
"Does my insurance cover this...Can you murder him for me?"

This is the exact same question as far as I'm concerned.

A defenseless stance in a tasteless video - a perfect match! Go ahead and run this and see the national "needle" swing even further towards the protection of unborn babies.

If waterboarding is torture,

what is abortion?

There are PLENTY of solutions out there if Government could let adults decide for themselves what is best for them...
