Website Reveals Plans With ‘Slush Funds’ for Elective Abortions
WASHINGTON — Two pro-life research groups announced Thursday on Capitol Hill that they’ve launched a new website designed to help healthcare consumers figure out which Obamacare plans include surcharges that will go directly toward funding abortions.
Troubled by the federal and state health exchanges’ “lack of transparency” when it comes to which Obamacare plans require paying for an abortion-funding surcharge, researchers at The Family Research Council and The Charlotte Lozier Institute announced the creation of ObamacareAbortion.com. The website features an interactive map allowing users to thoroughly examine all the Obamacare options in their home states and has color-coded which plans include a surcharge for tax-funded abortion and which plans do not.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-life Caucus, spoke at the Thursday press conference announcing the website and chastised the federal health exchange for not providing consumers with any information to help them make an educated decision as to whether or not they want a health plan that includes abortion funding and its surcharge.
“Once again, health consumers are almost clueless as to which plans fund abortion on demand and which do not,” Smith said. “That is why ObamacareAbortion.com is an extraordinarily usefull new tool for heathcare consumers. … The Obama administration’s cover-up of abortion insurance plans on the exchange is uncecessary, unacceptable and absolutely unconscionable.
“Consumers have the right to know. Abortion is not healthcare. It dismembers and chemically poisons defenseless unborn children and hurts women,” Smith added. Full Story.
