IL-3 Constituents: Don't Block Reform, Dan

Last week, 150 activists paid a visit to Rep. Dan Lipinski's 3rd Congressional District office in LaGrange in response to his opposition to any health care bill that does not sufficiently restrict public funding for abortion services. On the street outside, constituents (some of whom can't obtain affordable insurance) criticized his health care flip-flop and called on him to stop blocking reform. Check out this video of the event, shot by the Campaign for Better Health Care.

Meanwhile, PolitiFact took some time to analyze Lipinski's claim that the Senate health care bill allows taxpayer money to pay directly for abortion at federal community health centers. Their conclusion? "We think the issue looks more like a political dart than a legitimate concern."
