As for other types of abortions, the Capps amendment leaves it to the secretary of Health and Human Services to decide whether or not they will be covered. It says, “Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing the public health insurance option from providing” abortion services that would not be legal for Medicaid coverage.
NRLC’s Legislative Director Douglas Johnson has also left some comments at a guest post by Congressman Ryan at Dan Gilgoff’s God & Country blog where Ryan falsely claims the Capps Amendment “prohibit(s) public funds from paying for abortions.”

The China Daily reports that a young pregnant woman committed suicide by jumping off a bridge after the father wouldn’t accept responsibility for the child and asked her to have an abortion.
How desperately sad. :-(
