AUL Breaks Down Abortion Coverage in Federal Healthcare Law
(Source)
The Supreme Court’s ruling on President Obama’s Affordable Care Act comes as a serious blow to the religious freedom of individuals and religious institutions in our nation. As a part of this Act, religious institutions will be mandated to provide contraception, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs under their employees’ health insurance plans. These institutions will be required to provide money for these services that their religious convictions forbid.
The Blaze reports that a Connecticut health panel has voted unanimously to deem elective abortions as an “essential health benefit,” meaning that the state’s health insurance exchange (i.e. Obamacare) will cover abortions.
