Summary:

Reviews abortion provisions included in H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act; and H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; both to provide broad health reform. Provides background information on the so-called "Hyde Amendment," which restricts use of HHS funds to pay for elective abortion services provided through the Medicaid program. Addresses concerns that abortion provisions, particularly those added by the so-called "Stupak Amendment" to H.R. 3962, may be unconstitutional because they would appear to restrict abortion coverage for women
