Kevin Drum mulls the Stupak Amendment and nails it:

I wonder what the insurance industry thinks of this?  I know that if I were an insurance company, I’d sure rather cover an abortion (cost = $500 or so) than a pregnancy carried to term (cost = $10,000 or so).  But they’re probably too scared to speak up.

Widespread conservative support for the Stupak Amendment undermines the chief GOP talking point that the current health care reform bill costs American taxpayers too much money.

Well, conservatives, here’s your moral victory: If Stupak becomes law, the cost of health care reform actually increases per every unwanted pregnancy. Nice one.
