Mississippi, Louisiana, Moving to Ban State-Backed Insurance Abortion Coverage


The Mississippi and Louisiana state legislatures are both moving to pass legislation that would ban abortion coverage in each state's respective health insurance exchange being created as a result of the new federal health care package. Anti-choice legislation in Missouri also includes a provision that would ban abortion coverage in their insurance exchange.

In Mississippi, the state House passed a bill yesterday on an 80 to 33 vote that aims to ban abortion coverage in the state's insurance exchange, reported the Jackson Free Press.

In Louisiana, the state House overwhelmingly passed a bill yesterday on a 76 to 13 vote that would not only prohibit coverage of abortion in the state health insurance exchange, but would also prohibit elective abortion coverage by private insurers. The bill does not include exceptions for rape or incest, but does include an exception if a woman's life is endangered, according to the Associated Press.

This week, the Tennessee state legislature overwhelmingly passed a bill in both houses that would also ban abortion coverage in the state's to-be-created health insurance exchange. This bill was sent to Governor Philip Bredesen (D) and it is unclear if he will sign the legislation. If he signs the bill, Tennessee will become the first state to legislate against the inclusion of abortion coverage in the state insurance changes created by the new health care package.

3. "Wives be submissive to your husbands". Just a few years back

Southern Baptist Convention established: Men are head of
the household."

While these are specifically religious, the RR will tell
you --it is impossible to separate the personal from the
public.

Therefore, these beliefs appear to permeate the society
and now the law.

4. Catering to the religious.

The religious are the majority here in MS. I will go out on a limb and say even many of the democrats here would support this.

5. "The bill does not include exceptions for rape or incest"

Wow. Tells me all I need to know about the people who wrote this bill.

6. Speaking of right-wing sexism,, they have a Nazi-like vision

of their own master race. They think every male should be 100% masculine, not display any "effeminate" traits etc. And they want all women to be weak, defenseless and barefoot/pregnant. These assholes have not changed in a thousand years.
