Obama Bans High Risk Abortion Coverage

The Obama administration has issued a new interim rule excluding abortion coverage from the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans, or high-risk insurance pools, created by the recently enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Even using their own private funds, individuals will not be able to buy policies that cover abortion in these pools. The only exemptions will be for women who have been raped, who are the victims of incest or who will likely die if they carry a pregnancy to term. Under this new rule, women with serious health conditions such as heart disease may be forced to carry pregnancies to term despite serious harm to their health.

    • That really is interesting. I wonder what the response is going to be to all of the women who are wanting to get an abortion now. I will be watching to see what kind of reaction people will have because of this. www.jhmco.us
