Articles about the health care reform legislation have ranged in all sorts of subjects and most of them end up in the front page of the paper. However, today's health care article featured the abortion part of the legislation. In the version of legislation that the House passed, there would be a block on "the use of federal money for 'any health plan that includes coverage of abortion,' except in the case of rape or incest or if the life of a pregnant woman is in danger."
It was an interesting article that took a subtle look at the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch. Instead of directly talking about where the President was struggling to get Congress to cooperate, it stated the facts and showed an example- abortion. Even between the two branches of Congress there are differences. The abortion issue is only part of a number of changes that members of the Senate are hoping to make in the health care legislation.
