Video of Capuano Speaking on
Reproductive Care Restrictions

View the video of Capuano speaking out about the reproductive health restrictions in the new house-passed health-care legislation.

I don’t receive Capuano’s press releases (gee, I wonder why) but KennedySeat.com does, and it’s stunning to compare that blog’s separate articles on the Coakley and Capuano press statements about the house-passed health care bill.  Coakley says

The House’s vote is in many ways a significant step toward the goal of health care reform. However, I am deeply disturbed that the House adopted the Stupak/Pitts amendment, which would deny millions of women access to reproductive services. The inclusion of the Stupak/Pitts amendment violates the very intent of health care reform, which is meant to guarantee quality, affordable health care coverage for everyone. I believe that the Senate has a responsibility to fix this by eliminating the provision in whatever reform legislation moves forward.

Capuano praises his work on the bill, and then regarding the restrictions on reproductive health care, he says nothing.  Nada.  Crickets.  On accounta he’s bold.
