This bill does fund abortion. And ever since 1973, the argument has been made by people on this side of the aisle, women and men both, consistently and relentlessly, that the Federal Government has no business telling a woman what she can or can't do with her body. But today, the same people are saying the Federal Government has every right to tell everybody in America what they can or can't do with their body, and they don't see the hypocrisy in it. You can't be right both times. You can't say one thing for two generations and then just flip and decide that, well, it's convenient now to expand the dependency class, so now we're going to use the logic that the Federal Government has the right. The Federal Government does not have the right to take over our health care. There is no constitutional foundation. There is no constitutional authority. It's a violation of the equal protection clause. It's a violation of the commerce clause in the Constitution. The American people have rejected it. We need this. The center of America has decided they want to protect their freedom, their liberty, and their own health insurance policies.
