To refuse to provide insurance coverage for people who choose to end their pregnancies while providing coverage for those who choose to give birth would be discriminatory and a violation of fundamental constitutional rights.
It is outrageous that in the height of the pandemic, @HHSGov—an agency that is supposed to protect patients’ rights—would withhold needed health care funds, jeopardizing the health and safety of millions of Californians, based solely on the political agenda of abortion opponents.
Make no mistake, this policy will not last, and California will continue to defend every person’s right to make their own decisions around pregnancy and abortion.
