You’re right. The whole taxpayer-funded-abortions was a canard — the bill did not prevent women from using their own money to buy insurance that included abortion coverage through the exchanges — and even though the Dems knew it was a lie, they bent over backward to try to appease the liars, who, predictably, continue to lie about it and probably always will.

My question is, what percentage of women use insurance to pay for abortions. I’m guessing it’s 1 percent or less.

It never ceases to amaze me that none of the “conservatives” remember the Hyde Amendment, which has been on the books for over 30 years. I think they have an aversion to research and facts because they’re driven by ideology and emotion and little else. Accurate information is a keystone of good governance in a democratic republic. There is too little/no reporting of facts in the MSM. Last year there was more emphasis on nonsense like “Balloon Boy” than there was on HCR. Most recently, the MSM was late to the game on the BP oil spill. According to Media Matters’ timeline, the president was involved since the spill occurred on April 20. He called Jackson, Salazar, and others to the WH the same day and gave them their marching orders, but if one listens to the MSM, he has been asleep at the helm. Not true. The MSM rarely does the job it is supposed to do of informing the public about what really goes on in this country. Another recent example is the over emphasis on Blumenthal’s military record and the lack of focus/reporting on Kirk who made many more false statements about his military record. Once again, Media Matters made the comparison which highlighted the media bias.

Kendrick Meek is the only candidate who consistently has upheld women’s rights throughout his career, not 0% like Rubio or 50% like Crist, but 100%. He’s the candidate that people who are concerned about woman’s rights should be supporting.
