July 18, 2014 | WEBBIZ UPDATE: My apologies. A reader informs me: This is the record of a procedural vote on the anti-Hobby Lobby bill. S.2578: “The purpose of this Act is to ensure that employers that provide health benefits to their employees cannot deny any specific health benefits, including contraception coverage, to any of their employees or the covered dependents of such employees entitled by Federal law to receive such coverage.” The stick-scissors-in-infants bill is S.1696, on which hearings have been held but no votes. S.1696: “It is the purpose of this Act to protect women’s health by ensuring that abortion services will continue to be available and that abortion providers are not singled out for medically unwarranted restrictions that harm women by preventing them from accessing safe abortion services. It is not the purpose of this Act to address all threats to access to abortion (for example, this Act does not apply to clinic violence, restrictions on insurance coverage of abortion, or requirements for parental consent or notification before a minor may obtain an abortion) which Congress should address through separate legislation as appropriate.” http://thomas.loc.gov/home/bil… I had, stupid me, simply assumed that Gateway Pundit would not run blatantly false information. That’ll teach me. Catholic and Enjoying It Blog
