Amy Ridenour has published a column on TownHall.com analyzing the birth control statistics used by the Obama administration, and comparing them to other published statistics. Her verdict? The math doesn’t add up.
An Iowa legislative committee has cleared a bill requiring doctors to perform an ultrasound allowing a woman to see her unborn baby before undergoing an abortion. The bill is similar to legislation being weighed by Virginia, and proposed Arkansas legislation that would have required doctors to allow a woman to listen to her baby’s heartbeat before performing an abortion.
The Washington State legislature is weighing a bill that would tie insurance coverage for abortion to maternity coverage.
The bill would require health insurers paying for maternity care to also cover abortions. Abortion advocates say the bill is intended to insure abortion coverage is maintained once Obamacare goes into effect in 2014.
