Abortion: House to Vote on GOP's Controversial 'Protect Life Act' Thursday

By Ashley Portero | October 13, 2011 6:36 AM EDT

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote today on a bill the GOP claims will close "loopholes" that allows the Affordable Care Act to be used to provide federal funding for abortions.

The U.S. House of Representatives is voting on the Protect Life Act on Thursday, a pro-life / anti-abortion bill that opponents have nicknamed the "Let Women Die" act.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the House would consider the legislation, known as the Protect Life Act, on Thursday. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., and seeks to make it illegal for federal funds to be used to cover any part of the cost of a health insurance plan that includes abortion coverage. It is a considerable change from the current law, which prohibits federal funding for abortions but otherwise allows that money to be used to cover health care costs unrelated to the procedure.

The bill, which has 145 co-sponsors, allows for an exemption to the rule in cases of rape or incest, or when a mother's life is in danger.
