3+ hour, 27+ min ago (894+ words) AUGUSTA " A prominent Democrat hoping to fight for one of the nation's most closely contested congressional seats is taking heat over a more than two decades-old antiabortion vote. State auditor Matt Dunlap said Monday that a vote he took in the Maine Legislature in favor of a bill restricting abortion access doesn't represent his stance on the issue today. He pledged to "always fight for reproductive freedom" as he campaigns for Congress. Dunlap, who's hoping to replace Democratic Rep. Jared Golden in the 2nd District, appeared at a campaign event geared toward women at the University of Maine at Augusta in which he also talked about access to childcare and the cost of living. He was asked by reporters about LD 798, a bill that came up in 2003 that would have required physicians to provide notice to women at least 24 hours before…...

3+ hour, 35+ min ago (630+ words) Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea J. Campbell, joined by 21 colleagues nationwide, is urging congressional leaders to reject efforts to tie restrictions on abortion to the extension of soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act tax credits. On Monday, Campbell and her fellow attorneys general sent a letter to congressional leadership, saying they had "grave concerns" over the way the negotiations were proceeding. A fight over the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for abortion, has emerged as a major sticking point as lawmakers try to get a deal, Politico reported earlier this month. Of particular concern to Campbell are efforts to tie the extension to what she described as "unlawful restrictions" on state insurance plans, which would prohibit abortion coverage. Such a move would violate state sovereignty, conflict with existing state laws, and put access to care at risk, they argued. "The Trump administration and…...

8+ hour, 18+ min ago (324+ words) House speaker worked behind the scenes to strip provision after it was added as an amendment earlier this year A huge defense policy bill, revealed by US lawmakers on Sunday, does not include a provision that would have provided broad healthcare coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) for active-duty members of the military, despite Donald Trump's pledge to strengthen access to the procedure. Both the House and Senate previously approved the provision, which was added to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) as an amendment earlier this year.

10+ hour, 47+ min ago (470+ words) If we were to believe our pro-abortion opponents (although why would we?), women who visit pregnancy help centers (PHCs) and decide not to abort are pretty much mindless dupes. Here are two stories from last week which dig into what that tells us about what pro-abortionists really think of the intelligence of pregnant women and, for that matter, what supposedly PHCs do to them. We examine one today and one tomorrow. Kathleen Parker's opinion piece in the Washington Post is headlined "Pregnancy resource centers help women. They don't "torture' them.." She is riffing off of oral arguments the Supreme Court heard last week. At issue in First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin'was whether pro-abortion New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin could pursue his vendetta against pregnancy centers in general, First Choice Women's Resource Centers in particular. No matter how you…...
