Abortionists Go to Bat for Insurance Companies
HHS considering rule that would separate payments for abortion coverage in Obamacare
1-10-19
One of the nation's top abortion lobbying groups is urging the Trump administration to not overburden insurance companies with new Obamacare regulations.
The National Abortion Federation urged the Department of Health and Human Services to reject a proposal that requires insurers in healthcare exchanges to maintain separate funds for abortion coverage and send consumers two bills each month. It argued that segregating funds specifically for abortion coverage "will be burdensome for insurers and confusing for consumers."

NAF Interim President Katherine Hancock Ragsdale said abortion should be treated on par with other health care treatments. Ragsdale, who is also an Episcopalian minister, said abortion is already too expensive for some women.
Pro-life groups have welcomed the rule. Terry Schilling, executive director of the American Principles Project, said it was a "no-brainer" to create the separate billing system to give consumers transparency and to ensure that no taxpayer money is used to pay for abortions.

Underlying issue: Normalization of abortion. Pro-abortion forces want abortion treated like any other procedure; anti-abortion groups want abortion want it separated out. One skirmish in an ongoing war. Two days ago, Fox carried a story on a Seattle group now releasing YT videos showing an adult (the head of ShoutYourAbortion) answering children's questions on her abortion. In this way, abortion is introduced to school age children as something normal and natural. See >>4690408 PB.
