Washington Bill Would Force College Students to Fund Abortions in Their Health Care Plans

February 29, 2020

College students are being targeted by the abortion industry.

California recently passed a law forcing college campuses to provide free abortions to students, and New York is considering similar legislation.

Now, Washington state lawmakers are moving forward with a bill that would force colleges to cover abortions in their student health plans, The Spokesman-Review reports.

The state already forces most health insurance plans to cover elective abortions, but the bill would expand the mandate to college health plans.

State House Bill 2252, sponsored by Rep. My-Linh Thai, D-Bellevue, treats the killing of unborn babies as equally legitimate health care as maternity care.

“This is an attempt to make sure that the student health plans that offer coverage for maternity care must also provide coverage for abortions,” Thai told the news outlet.

The bill passed the state House earlier this month and now is moving through the state Senate.

According to the report:

When the Office of the Insurance Commissioner was working on implementing the 2018 Reproductive Parity Act, they realized that student plans were not covered, she said.

Health plan carriers can claim a conscience or religious exemption to abortion and would still be able to provide maternity services, Thai said. Current law allows that if a carrier for most insurance plans provides its enrollees with a written notice of why the services aren’t covered and gives them information on how to access abortion services.

Those provisions would be added to health plans for college students under the bill, which has already passed the House.

College students already are vulnerable to abortion, and pro-abortion legislation like the bills proposed in New York and Washington would only put more pressure on students to abort their unborn babies.

Students who choose life for their unborn babies often struggle to find support. College campuses are notoriously unfriendly to pregnant and parenting students.

Reacting to the New York proposal in December, Michele Sterlace-Accorsi, executive director of Feminists Choosing Life of New York, told WROC News 8 that the bill does not provide any support to students who choose life for their unborn babies.

“What it doesn’t help finance are campus child care centers, any kind of desperately needed prenatal care,” Sterlace-Accorsi said. “These are the impediments that interfere with women’s ability to carry unplanned pregnancies to term, to choose life for their children and also have a career.”

Students for Life of America has been working hard to change that. Through its clubs and various outreach programs, it is providing much-needed support to students and their unborn babies. Last fall, it launched a new education campaign to help pregnant and parenting students understand that they cannot be discriminated against on campus because they choose life for their child. Students for Life also runs Pregnant on Campus, which connects students to resources for themselves and their babies.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘

Romans 10:9
