Few satisfied by administration's limits on abortion coverage

Few satisfied by administration's limits on abortion coverage - The Hill's Healthwatch: The Obama administration’s restrictions on abortion coverage in the healthcare reform law's high-risk pools have infuriated abortion-rights supporters while failing to placate the procedure’s opponents. The regulation limits abortion coverage in the federally funded pools, which cover people with pre-existing conditions, to cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is in danger.

Planned Parenthood, a reliable Democratic ally, said it 'strongly opposes' the restrictions. The National Right to Life Committee cautions that the regulation raises concerns about the broader healthcare reform law.
