You are supposed to be a journalist. Read the text of the bill. Clearly this bill would NOT channel tax-payer dollars to fund abortions. The claim to the contrary is a cynical ploy taking advantage of the fact that no average person will read the bill. You are a journalist. "Oh well, maybe it's true and maybe it isn't" is not journalism, it's a sad cop-out. Tell the truth and report the facts. “It’s not entirely clear, at least to me, that the legislation would have channeled tax-payer dollars to fund abortions at military bases or not.”
