Does Health Care Cover Abortion? Fact Checking the Fact Checkers

Steven Waldman writes at the Wall Street Journal: “We often think of abortion as a black-and-white issue. But when it comes to the question of whether health care reform bills ‘cover’ or provide ‘taxpayer support” for abortion, there are many shades of gray. As of now, neither side is entirely telling the whole truth about what the bills do. On some aspects, Obama and his allies have misled; on others, pro-lifers have. More important, some of this does not involve matters of ‘fact’ or ‘truth’ or ‘lies,’ but rather subjective judgment calls, a land where ideologues don’t function well, but legislators must.”
