She argues that pro-lifers shouldn’t worry about the Senate bill’s funding of community health centers, because they didn’t raise the issue “when. . . the stimulus bill appropriated an additional $2 billion for community health centers.” But the stimulus bill was understood to be a supplemental appropriations bill, and thus to incorporate the pro-life restrictions on the original appropriation. The new health-care bill creates a new stream of funding not subject to the Hyde amendment’s restrictions on appropriated funding.
P.S. She claims that CHCs don’t do abortions now. How does she know? Not all of their funding comes from HHS appropriations bills, and they’re not obligated to report abortions they perform.
