Will the Stupak issue break the healthcare bill?

This is SO FRUSTRATING.

Never mind that the original and current bill do not allow coverage for "elective" abortions in federal, tax-funded plans (well, except for Congress).

Never mind that the Stupak Ammendment would actually only change the ability of women with PRIVATE plans to have coverage that they paid for.

No, apparently it is so important to specifically include wording that bans either funding for abortions or subsidies for plans that happen to also include abortions that it’s worth giving up on the whole thing.

I personally wish the Democrats would write a new, different version that basically said "Federal funds may not be used to pay for an abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the life of the mother" but that omitted the part about plans that are subsidized. Maybe they could get some people back that way, and that wouldn’t change anything.

As much as I want to someday have abortions covered by federal plans, I’m willing to sacrifice that to get expanded coverage for everyone– since a woman who is not deep in debt from her car accident might be able to pay for an abortion out of pocket anyway. What I don’t want to sacrifice is the ability to purchase plans that cover abortion, even if they are slightly subsidized by the state.

Any ideas?
