This is another example of the Chaos Theory in action. The majority of those that supported the health care bill also support abortion "rights". They did not intend for the bill to fuel the fires of anti-abortion activities but God works in mysterious ways.
So what other effects will we see from the bill, regardless of the intentions of its writers?
"Dozens of states are passing or debating new restrictions on abortion, a trend fueled in part by passage of the nation's new health care law.
Both sides of the hot-button issue are seeing new approaches to reduce abortions.
...A debate in Congress over abortion coverage through insurance sold in future government-run health marketplaces — called exchanges — nearly derailed passage of the health care law. Even though President Obama issued an executive order stating that no public funds would go for abortions, several states are seeking to ban abortion coverage from plans sold through their exchanges.
Tennessee lawmakers last week passed a bill that would ban abortion coverage in any plan sold through its exchange. It applies even if premiums were paid with private funds because public funds would help run the exchange, said the bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Diane Black. Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana and Oklahoma are considering similar bills. "I think you'll see a lot more next year," said Spaulding Balch."
