The Family Research Council (FRC) and Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) have shared the results of their annual analysis of Obamacare-funded health insurance plans. The groups poured over exchanges to figure out just how many of these plans cover elective abortion.

Their analysis covers a lot of information, which can be read in a PDF report here or by using their interactive map at obamacareabortion.com.

It is important to note that 100% of plans in eight states and the District of Columbia, including Illinois, require all individual plans on Obamacare exchanges to cover elective abortion. Additionally, the number of plans on the exchanges that cover elective abortion has increased by 6% from 650 to 777.

FRC Director of Life, Culture, and Women's Advocacy Patrina Mosley commented:

"Obamacare allows health insurance plans purchased with federal subsidies to cover elective abortion. This violates the principle of the longstanding Hyde Amendment that taxpayer dollars should not be entangled with the abortion industry.  Many individuals seeking enrollment remain categorically opposed to elective abortion and do not want their tax dollars used for its coverage. As the current administration has taken a strong stance in proclaiming that abortion is not family planning through the strengthening of Title X regulations and expanding the Mexico City policy, Congress still has a lot of work to do to make sure abortion is never considered healthcare."
