Government advocacy for unlimited access to abortion has surged under Barack Obama’s administration, and at one point the National Right to Life Committee uncovered documents revealing the president was even more dedicated to abortion at any time for any reason than even the National Abortion Rights Action League.
Now, the District of Columbia is proposing a Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment that would prohibit employers from “discriminating” for any reason over the issue of “reproductive health,” including abortion.
It “is intended to force employers to provide health insurance for elective abortions regardless of the employers’ beliefs or convictions,” according to the Alliance Defending Freedom.
ADF has joined with the March for Life, Susan B. Anthony List, Charlotte Lozier Institute, Concerned Women for America, National Right to Life Committee and Family Research Council to write a letter to D.C. officials strongly urging them to drop the plan.
Earlier this month, a formal protest developed in California on behalf of several churches whose leaders charge the state simply changed its health insurance practices to force them to pay for abortions. Casey Mattox, an attorney working on the California case, said forcing a church” to be party to elective abortion is one of the utmost-imaginable assaults on our most fundamental American freedoms.”
The letter regarding the proposed D.C. law is addressed to Phil Mendelson, chairman of the District of Columbia Council in Washington.

There is no shame or decency among the left, they are just evil
You are right. They are so bad that they constantly prove just how evil they are.
It also does not speak well of a country that elects one of the worst human beings on earth to two terms as president.
I suspect if he had the power of a Stalin or a Mao, that he might be even worse than them.
Fortunately this country has a lot of checks and balances which prevent him from being a total dictator. Unfortunately he has just ignored the law any time he wants and for the most part, suffers no consequences.
The stupid it BURNS!
It’s only fitting that NRTL has to fund abortions.
No other single organization can lay as much claim to having helped pass ObamaCare as NRTL.
No one can hold a shadow to them and their blackmailing of the House Republicans. At a crucial time when ObamaCare could have been stopped dead, NRTL made sure it stayed alive and moved forward.
They are an organization which is either stupid, or evil. But above all, NRTL is responsible for this mess.
Wait until next Wednesday morning.
To be clear, there is nothing about killing your baby that corresponds to “reproductive health”.
Time to claim conscientious objector status.
If a “pro-life organization” has employees who want to procure abortion, the organization has done something seriously wrong and should give all their donors’ money back.
Those are the fires of hell
Maybe it will have no demand, but how about cases like Hobby Lobby?
As a general principle, I believe any business or non-profit organization should be able to include/exclude whatever it likes from insurance coverage. I know, freedom of contract is a long-outdated concept ...
I was making a moral point regarding the specific case mentioned.
Some people just choose to go there. Don’t ask me why.
Our enemies on The Left are servants of The Enemy ... our problems are not purely political in nature, and will not be solved by purely political means.
AMERICA MUST REPENT and return to Christ. Any other path leads to our destruction.
