any legal minded types out there...

biteofpythias: … who can tell me how the stupak amendment would stand up in court challenges? doesn’t this get into freedom of contract issues? as a supporter of labor law protections, i hate the concept of freedom of contract at some level, but how can the govn’t tell a company and me what sort of contract we can enter into for my health insurance? i don’t know a lot about this angle, so if someone works/thinks in this area I’d love your insight????

I hadn’t heard/thought about this angle…I’m sure that PPFA and other groups are starting to look into all of their options should these provisions be included in whatever bill is eventually passed. Legal people, do y’all know?
