With 16 Democrats and Republican unanimously, the House is one of his pieces of priority legislation: H.R. 3, the "no tax payer funding to the law on abortion."
Apart from federal funding for abortion services grants, the Bill is redundant under the Hyde Amendment; It is currently prohibited, as it has been for three decades, federal funds appropriate for abortion services. But, in to eradicate coverage for abortion services, Bill is a new impair reproduction rights.
The Bill, sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R - n l.j.) and Chairman of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), is unlikely to pass in the Senate, where Democrats have a majority.
Should pass H.R. 3, it will create barriers to insurance companies covering the cost of abortion services, punish through taxes on companies and people to buy insurance and impede the access of women to a wide range of choice of reproductive health care.
13.5 Million women who receive Medicaid health coverage and other government programs would lose access to abortion coverage, according to pro-choice NARAL. H.R. 3 would also eliminate insurance coverage privacy for abortion in the exchanges of health set up by the affordable care Act.
A woman serving in the armed forces would be prohibited from paying for abortion, even with his own money, in a military hospital. Federal employees who pay for their own insurance loss would be prohibited access to abortion because of their coverage of insurance, as Ms. Magazine.
Companies who purchase health insurance plans that cover abortion would be denied tax credits, then these 87 per cent of the insurance companies that include coverage would treat the strict new procedural requirements.
Lead sponsor Rep. Smith, to prohibit the victims of rape access to public funds for abortion in denying that they are victims, in January, tried to use the Bill to redefine rape as "forced". under his definition, rape; legal presumption of rape. and rape of mental disability, disabled, people with disabilities or the totally unconscious would not be considered rape at all. These victims would therefore not eligible to receive federal help for abortion services.
This attempt to restrict the scope of rape met such staunch opposition that Rep. Smith, with other conservative legislators, has promised to remove the provisional language. However, according to Mother Jones, Republicans plan to use a door legislative maneuver back to redefine rape in the Bill.
Opponents are now call H.R. 3 the "audit Bill rape", according to Mother Jones, because rape victims who receive abortion services parce que les victimes de viol qui re?oivent des services d' avortement affrontera will face reportedly audit by the IRS.
The White House issued a statement condemning H.R. 3, saying that the Obama administration "strongly opposed to" Bill because "it infringes on the freedom of childbearing women and access to health care;" increases the tax burden of the Americas for many "and"unnecessarily restricted the private insurance choices that consumers have today.""
