Rape Panels--the new Death Panels.

The proposed "No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act" is something I've been discussing with a friend. Amongst other things, it:

1. re-defines "rape" in a far more specific and less inclusive manner.
2. specifically denies the ability of Soldiers to obtain an abortion other than paying out of pocket themselves.
3. forces anyone who gets an abortion to pay taxes on the cost of the abortion instead of allowing them to deduct it as health-care costs.

I disagree with all of those. Moreover, re-defining "approved" rapes to qualify for federal funding as "forcible rape" would, in essence, force any woman who has been raped to prove that her rape was "forced". Would this include date rape? Would it include if she was too drunk to say no? This bill sounds like it would create a "rape panel" that victims would have to prove their case to, and I hope it does not pass.
