Dem Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper: I Wouldn‘t Have Voted for Obamacare If I’d Known About Birth Control Mandate

Former Democratic congresswoman and observant Catholic Kathy Dahlkemper cast a crucial vote in favor of Obamacare in 2010 which she now says she regrets. The Weekly Standard reports the Pennsylvania lawmaker lost her seat that November in part because of her support for the controversial bill. But Dahlkemper said recently that she would have never voted for the health care bill had she known that the Department of Health and Human Services would require all private insurers, including Catholic charities and hospitals, to cover the cost in full for contraception, sterilization procedures, and the “week-after“ pill ”ella” that can induce early abortions.
“I would have never voted for the final version of the bill if I expected the Obama Administration to force Catholic hospitals and Catholic Colleges and Universities to pay for contraception,” Dahlkemper said in a press release sent out by Democrats for Life in November. “We worked hard to prevent abortion funding in health care and to include clear conscience protections for those with moral objections to abortion and contraceptive devices that cause abortion. I trust that the President will honor the commitment he made to those of us who supported final passage.”
TWS adds:
Of course, most abortion opponents disagree with Dahlkemper that the HHS regulation is Obamacare’s only moral problem. Under Obamacare, each state’s federally subsidized health care exchange is required to offer a health insurance plan that covers elective abortions unless the state passes a law opting out of the requirement.
As former Democratic congressman Bart Stupak said when the Senate passed Obamacare in December of 2009, “A review of the Senate language indicates a dramatic shift in federal policy that would allow the federal government to subsidize insurance policies with abortion coverage. Further, the segregation of funds to pay for abortion is another departure from current policy prohibiting federal subsidy of abortion coverage.”
Stupak, Dahlkemper, and a handful of other Democrats who held back on voting for final passage of Obamacare eventually voted for the exact same language in the Senate bill because the president signed an executive order saying the law wouldn’t fund abortions.
But, as TWS points out, the executive order signed by President Obama did naught to prevent the subsidized health care exchanges from covering elective abortions.

But this, in and of itself, is ridiculous. Any legislator worth his salt should abstain in voting for a bill he hasn’t reviewed. But this tells you everything you need to know about congress…. these people don’t vote yes or no based on the contents of the bill… they vote yes or no based on what their party leaders and special interest groups tell them.

Posted on February 7, 2012 at 6:20pmThat‘s what happens when you sign things that you don’t read. There should be a way to hold you and people like you to account for the mess that this bill will create

Posted on February 7, 2012 at 6:37pmIn the words of the great Dem from Michigan Rep John Conyers “I get a kick out of these reps that say read the bill. What good is reading a bill if it’s a thousand pages?” O I don‘t know maybe because it’s your job? There is a reason she lost her seat. Because she didn’t do her job like most of them.

Posted on February 7, 2012 at 6:47pmI’d be surprised if even five percent of the libs read this bill before they voted on it. After all, they only had a couple of days to do it . . ALL TWO THOUSAND PLUS PAGES!!! Thanks Obummer, Polosi, and all the others who crammed this POS through Congress. What a lame excuse. She’s just trying to set herself up with an excuse for the coming elections. What a load of c–p!
