ObamaCare will subsidize abortion, according to an expert who has done the research.
The multi-state plans run by the federal government will provide at least two that will be available in every state for purchase by most residents of the country. Chuck Donovan of the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute tells OneNewsNow the plans will be on the federal web site menu. But it's required by law that one of the plans must exclude abortion funding.
However, there is an exception.
Donovan explains: "The law actually allows the federal government to have plans in the states that underwrite elective abortions. All a person who enrolls needs to do is pay a very small fee that they may not even be aware of that provides that abortion coverage but they won't be able to opt out of it and the majority of the states will have these plans."
That's in spite of the fact that polls have consistently shown for decades that the public does not want to use tax dollars for abortion.
Donovan tells OneNewsNow that Obamacare opens up two larger pathways for funding abortion.
"One is by expanding Medicaid in states that fund abortion with their state dollars and the other is through these abortion multi-state plans," he explains.
Those plans will be available in 27 states, "and the federal government can be and probably will be heavily promoting them," says Donovan.
Donovan suggests one answer is for people to lobby their elected state officials to bow out of ObamaCare abortion funding.
