“Democratic women are outraged, saying it will require women in the exchanges to buy a separate insurance rider to cover abortion, even if they buy private insurance, in effect expanding the Hyde restrictions to the private sector. “It is ridiculous,” said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. “No one plans an unplanned pregnancy.” Oakland Democrat Barbara Lee said it will “take us back to the days of back-alley abortions,” and is a dangerous intrusion of religion into the state. “I was raised Catholic,” Lee said, “but in no way should we allow the government to dictate religiously inspired policy. We’re a democracy, not a theocracy.””
