Will Liberals Draw the Line on Abortion? Probably Not.
Anti-abortion members in the House got a big win Saturday with the passage of the Stupak amendment. The amendment aims to prevent federal funds from being used to procure abortions, following current federal policy that bans Medicaid from offering elective abortions. But Stupak's impact will be broader. It will essentially bar women who purchase insurance through the new insurance exchange (that is, predominantly poor women or those who don't currently have coverage) from procuring abortions through plans they buy on the exchange. It does this by preventing insurers from covering the procedure in any plans that customers purchase using federal subsidies. Because insurers in the exchange can't turn customers away, and because it is virtually impossible to separate the funds coming from women who receive subsidies and those who don't, the Stupak amendment will effectively prevent any insurers who participate in the exchange from covering elective abortions.

What Do Members of Congress Do in August?
When the Senate breaks for recess this Friday, the Capitol will become an eerily quiet place. House Members have already fled swampy DC, along with many of their staffers. So what do they all do over these sweltering weeks? (Aside from boning up on health care policy, that is.) Some take a break, some travel. For most, it's a chance to visit with constituents, fundraisers and home-state lobbyists. They also tend to do something your Gagglers love doing in summer: going to state fairs of course! (Holly will never forget the butter sculpture of Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson at last year's Iowa State Fair.) We asked Gaggle pal Rebecca Shabad to call a few folks on the Hill to find out exactly what their plans are.
