Flouting fed law, CA bill demands insurance companies pay for free abortions

SACRAMENTO – Senator Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach) is seeking to make all abortions in California free, whether paid for by private or public insurance. The proposal, called SB 245, will be heard in the Senate Health Committee next week.

The bill forces all private insurance policies to cover abortions with no co-pays and no deductibles, despite the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determination that California was already breaking federal law by forcing private health insurance plans to include coverage for abortion.

Last December, HHS Secretary Alex Azar announced his department would withhold $200 million from California unless the state changed course.

Now with former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra now in charge of HHS, Senator Lena Gonzalez seeks to lift abortion rights to an even more exalted status in a state already known for being one of the most pro-abortion in the country.

“For over four decades, the American people have spoken loudly and clearly: the government should not force us to pay for abortions,” said California Family Council President Jonathan Keller.

“But with SB 245, Senator Lena Gonzalez would require millions of pro-life Californians to violate their consciences and fund abortion through their health insurance. In addition to violating federal laws like the Weldon Amendment, this proposal is deeply offensive to people of faith. We urge Sacramento to reject this radical and unconstitutional mandate.”

The Senate Education Committee plans to hold a hearing on SB 245 on Wednesday, April 7th.

The holy grail for these people is to have all Christians forced to pay for abortions, sex “change” operations, euthanasia and aids care.
They are almost there.

Forcing the people of God to subsidize their wickedness is not going to end well for these people if they do not repent; instead they will have an extremely unpleasant encounter with Him on the day of judgment.

Senator Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach) is seeking to make all abortions in California free, whether paid for by private or public insurance.

When asked why she supported this bill she responded, "Too many darkies. We need to get them before they are born so they don't get into the juvenile justice system."

The senator explained that she just wants to do a little 'human weeding'.

Take away guns because they can kill someone but make sure abortion is easy to get when it always kills someone.

If they are free, why should the insurance companies pay for them?

Why not require the stud who dipped
his wick to pay for any procedures? Leave
the rest of us out of it.

CA Dems don’t care about federal laws, they just ignore, and wait for national Dems to steal elections....and over turn any federal law they were already ignoring..

DOJ would lock up GOP reps for any federal infraction.

They are almost there.

If you consider the Military's new leader, we are already there, because everyone is a taxpayer, or receiver of taxpayer funds.
