Un-American to force others to obey beliefs

I'm upset that the U.S. House of Representatives caved in to the anti-abortionists in order to pass the health care reform bill. Let us remember that abortion is a legal and in many cases medically necessary procedure. In a democracy, tax money gets used for things that not everyone likes.
People are free to believe and live their personal lives by whatever religious beliefs they want to, but forcing others to obey beliefs they don't share by writing them into law is un-American.
