Pro-Life FAQ on Health Care Reform

American’s United for Life has compiled answers to some questions pro-life advocates may have about the current health reform proposals making their way through Congress.

  • What do the health care reform plans currently in Congress say about the unborn?
  • You say the plans would mandate abortion coverage. How would they do that?
  • Doesn’t the Hyde Amendment protect taxpayers from having to fund abortions?
  • I heard that the health care reform plans would enable people to choose which insurance plan they want. Those plans would then be funded by individuals’ premiums. Wouldn’t that ensure that taxpayer money would not pay for abortions?
  • I get my reproductive-health check-ups from Planned Parenthood, but I would never consider getting an abortion. If Congress followed Americans United for Life’s principles for health care reform, wouldn’t that force me to find another provider?
  • Is it true that the health care reform plans would encourage doctors to perform euthanasia?
  • Do the plans really contain provisions for “death panels”?
