    S270 was inspired by Democrats for Life of America’s 95-10 initiative which was designed to support pregnant women. H.R. 605 adds family planning.

    This bill sounds good on the surface, however, this bill would give ILLEGAL ALIENS full rights to health care and welfare!!!! VOTE NO!!!!

    This bill would do nothing of the sort. Granted, it does nothing to prevent situations where illegal aliens already have such rights, but that is hardly the point of the bill. It doesn’t make any sense to expect every bill that is passed to include a line that “this bill does not apply to illegal aliens.”

    I’d rather see undocumented aliens get health care than risk a pandemic because they couldn’t get treatment.

    Vote no, this is a measure from an anti-choice group.

    I’ve already replied to this comment under HR 605, but since pinky has duplicated her comment here, I will duplicate my response to it.

    I’m sorry, but did you even read the bill? Exactly what provisions within the bill do you have a problem with?

    Try and look beyond your own bigotry and propaganda-inspired knee jerks, and consider this bill on its own merits. What do you have pregnant women that you would shoot down this bill just because you think there are some “anti-choice” crazies lurking around the corner?
